Scirocco Central

Thanks cuprabob! I got myself a 72Ah Bosch S4 from euro parts! Thanks for the help

Hi all, Some advice needed please. The (original) battery in my Rocco ('09 build) doesn't seem to hold it charge and it's been dying on me on a regular basis now. I had it checked over at Halfords, and they've informed me that the battery drains very quickly. Is there a recommended battery I should ...

Yellowplum >> Thanks for the reply. I took the car straight to the nearest VW showroom and they then took it to the local approved VW repair garage. I refused to go with the insurance companies approved garage, so reading your comments about this made me feel better! ~£3k later, I'm off today at som...

Took it to my local VW garage who took it to the local approved VW repair garage around the corner. They've estimated £3k for the repairs. Let's just hope my insurance approves it! :S

Thanks guys. I've called up my insurance company this morning and they've recommended the nearest approved dealer. I forgot to ask if I can choose the garage or if there was several garages I could choose from. I've got to take it in tomorrow morning to let them have a look at it but may call my ins...

Firsly, I hope you are OK. It looks well over the excess you may have to pay. So its insurance unless you won the lottery last week. It will be viewed as you being at fault as he was parked and you've driven into his car. Can't be helped in the conditions. As it will go against you, insurance premi...

Can`t believe with that impact damage that no airbags wents off? If so, just head toward insurance. I`ve seen less impact damage with the airbags off. I think even without the airbags its just the insurance you want to ring. So you`ll be paying our excess and the other partys bill....whatever they ...

b0rk, thanks you for the prompt reply. What do you mean when you say I may need a new end? Radiator and AC still work and I've not touched the bonnet or attempted to open it but I can see that the engine and surroundings look visibily ok and seems the plastic damage is only localised to the light cl...

I was driving my scirocco last night and got caught up in the heavy snowfall. Muest have only ben doing about 10-15MPH max in third gear when I'd slightly tapped on my breaks to slow down on a slanted road, that my car when sliding about 10 yards to hit a stationary car on it's bumper. Think the ABS...

Hi All, Tried to do a quick search here but couldn't seem to find anything that would tell me what video filetypes the RNS 510 system plays back? I'm trying to load some videos on an SD card (.m4v doesn't seem to work) Anybody tried this? I know DVD playback works but would like to have my stuff bei...

@sandeep...... Sandeep - thanks a lot for all your advice, it's really concise and helpful - I am sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but like I say I can't send private messages, and have only just thought of writing on here instead! Be nice to share with the rest of us........ C. No secrets...

Upgraded successfully to firmware 1300 last night

Loving the 32GB SHDC memory card functionality!

Sand33p - just wondering if you had any luck with this in the end? I'm new to this site, but I have a 58 plate Scrirocco 2.0 TSI GT and am trying to do exactly the same thing as you - I just wanrt to find out the RNS510 HW/FW version so I can upgrade the firmware (for things like SDHC support, and ...

Bianco,

Does the 130X firmware update include maps as well? It won't remove the maps will it because I don't have a DVD to load them explicitly....


Thanks,

1300 really? I was on the following website - http://www.my-gti.com/3164/volkswagen-rns-510-firmware-upgrade-to-version-2840-2844-2846-2848" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Argh, why is it not easy to find out your current firmware version!! Does anyone else have a 09/59 scir...

Thanks RW1.

So is this the best method to use to find out what firmware version I have? If so, can you download the software off a website. I guess I'd need to purchase a special cable?

The car is a 09 plate and was purchased in aug 09, just before the 59 plate edition was released so it has the new features (like new steering wheel) that the 59 editions have. The unit came with the car and it does not display a clock when turned off. I wanted to upgrade it to support upto 32GB SDH...

Hi All, I have the RNS 510 Sat Nav/DVD system in my Scirocco and I've read a lot about upgrading the firmware for the system. I would like to upgrade to see what new features are available. However, how can I find out what version I am on at the moment? I've read a lot so far on the internet, and ha...
