Title: RNS MFD2 SAT NAV CD
Post by: ambit on August 31, 2010, 08:39:45 pm

Dont know if anyone can help me, I have a problem with my in car sat nav system. Just bough a MK5 which has an RNS MFD2 CD based nav system. Since ive had the car I cant get the sat nav disc to work. The system plays a music CD no problem if I insert it, just when I insert the navigation CD it says 'disc read error' The disc was quite scratched so ive cleaned it up and now its says 'incompatible CD' weird. I think the unit itself is not faulty as it wouldnt play the music CD. Anyone know of another disc I can try, or anyone living near Cardiff with a similar system before I take the plunge and shell out for a new CD from VW. Any help would be great.

Someone I know popped down last week and he has a DVD based MFD2 and when we tried his disc it said 'disc read error' I think mine is the CD version as the sat nav disc (a copied one) which was in the glovebox when i bought is a CD.

so your nav disc is a ccopied one??? have you tried an original disc? i read somewhere that if the disc is not burned at the slowest speed it wont work,

i have the dvd version and when i got it the was badly scratched but it still worked..

If the disc has not been burned using suitable software then it won't work as it has disc protection.

That is almost certainly the cause of your problems.

The new pin is for RNS510 only

and needs to have the lead plugged into the back of the unit.

used mine the other day, you  can create any code you want

Hi Eddie!

Thank´s!

Hi

Sorry, can't help with that.

You will either need to use someone who has access to the VW database or goto your local dealer

Ok, thank you anyway. But I prefer to avoid the local dealer, until there is no other option. From two days ago I´m the owner of a licenced VAGCOM and a copy of ELSAWIN. A bit of independence!
Have a nice weekend, man!
