    RNS-510 update and V4M?

    I looked at this solution and if I had not had my 510s firmware upgraded to 1040 with VIM and M4 map update included, I think that would be the way to go if all you needed was VIM.

    Help with 2009 Jetta sportwagon navigation system

    Regarding shipping off the 510, yes I felt safe shipping via USPS with enough insurance to buy a new 510. And extremenetwork returned it with the same insurance coverage. I had read forum posts stating they had used extremenetwork and were completely satisfied, so was I. Total turnaround time...

    Help with 2009 Jetta sportwagon navigation system

    Hi David, You didn't say what version of maps are installed in your RNS. The Newest Maps from Navteq is Version 4M, which have map and POI updates. Also, what firmware version is your RNS? The latest is 1040 available here...

    Window Tint?

    I had my 09 JSW windows tinted 20% when I first go it in Oct. 08. Have not had any problems with bubbles or pealing. Work was done by a shop that has been in business over 20 years. They have done 5 of my cars over the years. The only comment I can make is that it's really difficult to see...

    Downloadable 2009 Maintenance Schedule (Probably 2010 too!)

    I downloaded the Excel spreadsheet (2009 Jetta TDi Maintenance Log.xlsx) from the link you provided but my Microsoft Office Excel 2003 program can't read it. Did you create it with a different program?

    Radio fault

    Cleared the DTC with VCDS and checked the next day and the code was back. My Sirius subscription is up to date and I listen to Sirius everyday. Also did a RNS re-boot. Any one have a thought on this one?

    Upgrade options

    I have a device that must be programmed via a serial port and my netbook only has USB ports. This is the serial to USB adapter that I found that works great. http://www.usbgear.com/USBG-232MINI.html If you have any computer with a USB port maybe you could connect this adapter to the Ross-Tech...

    Radio fault

    I also get the VCDS scan code "02635" but I have a paid Sirius subscription. So I tried the Sirius Web Site and did a "re-send activation" and still get the "02635" code. Anyone have an idea how to clear it? Thanks.

    HowTo: RNS-510 Installation + Coding ('09 Jetta)

    On my '09 JSW the compass module was above the headliner on the left of the shark fin antenna about 10" in from the rear. I was able to squeeze my arm in to disconnect it after removing the rear trim piece. Be sure to disconnect the compass module and not the other connector near by. It's for...

    What's up with the CEL in the 2009/2010 TDI?

    My '09 JSW TDi has 14,000+ miles now and has not had any, that's right, any problems with anything, ie: engine, suspension, electrical, trim or anything I can think of. My average around town mileage is 33+ mpg. On the road it's around 45 mpg. This week we went from home in Garden Grove, CA...

    Is the navigation good on the new vw's

    I bought my RNS-510 in Jan this year on eBay from a VW dealer in the Chezk Republic. It has not had one problem so far. It came with s/w 0380 which I think is the latest version for US units. I can't remember where I saw it but there is a procedure for updating the s/w when it is released...

    RNS-510 not displaying ID3 tags on some files.

    Ok, I have solved my problem. The RNS-510 works perfectly. It seems that iTunes was not creating clean ID3 data and neither was the data downloaded from Grace Note via Nero 9 as well. I found a MP3 IDtag editor at http://www.mp3tag.de/ and it works great. Now before I copy MP3 files to a SD...

    RNS-510 not displaying ID3 tags on some files.

    I create MP3 songs with ID3 tags. Verify ID3 tag info and copy to an SD card. Insert SD card in the RNS-510 and it reads the files and begins playback. However some of the files don't show the ID3 tag info but show only the file name. The same is true of a DVD with MP3 songs. Has anyone had...

    Is the navigation good on the new vw's

    mysql, your 2010 JSW may have a radio with a color touch screen, but my 2009 only had the Premium 7 radio with a lousy LCD unlit mini screen which was next to impossible to read in the daytime and poor at night, no SD port, and no HDD. It was the only thing I hated about my '09 JSW. Now I am...
