Okay. Seems to be something wrong either on the wiring harness or unit.
The harness is also incomplete!!
I think you should pay me a visit. Have an extra module and harness we can test with.

Hey Tuffy - You still got access to any colour MFDs? Prefer the red needle 280km, but the blue needle one is ok if that all available - so long as it will work in a mk6 GTI - seems there are some with buttons in different locations that don't work on a GTi.

Big thumbs up to Tuffy for the help with checking out if my unit is working. So in the end it needed to be coded to be picked up by my phone, or rather you scan via the MFD to connect to the phone.

Not only did he test my unit, he also fitted it while I was there. So my BT is up and running now.

If anyone needs OEM radio/nav/bt Tuffy is the man to contact!

I know this is slightly off topic, but which is better, VAGCOM or VCDS?

And where can I buy it from?

I need to get an upgraded canbus gateway as well, what part number must I look for? It's going in an '06 Jetta Mk5.

Thanks!
same thing

VCDS = Vag Com Diagnostic System

Just do the fuse box mod to fix the canbus issue
You can get a polar box for that as well.
Mine on random occasions makes the radio go beep every 20 secs. I sometimes here it from inside the house and then go to car and find it didn't go to sleep so battery is a bit flat.

Hey guys pls help, I bought my unit long ago. Now I gave it to my brother but I lost a pin :bang: VW wants a Vin No. Is there a way to get this pin without the Vin No?

Best to search around or ask on the vwnavi forum. Without the vin, and no code, think only option is to replace the motherboard.

no

isnt there some kind of coding that is done to change the output to pre out? Or does the only solution available to add an amp require a HI/Lo converter or sorts?

PM Tuffy for maps? I got the 5280 firmware off a torrent but can make a plan to get you a copy. Maps I have I think have been surpassed.

Good Day Gents

Any one know where I can get hold of a RNS510 unit? Except a dealer of course... I know eBay is usually the answer. Any specific sellers I should try in that case?

Thanks in advance
