Title: Sat Nav Disc - Which 1?
Post by: prp74 on September 25, 2012, 08:36:48 pm: Hi guys,

Just paid a deposit on a 2006 GTI, which I will pick up this saturday. The car is fully loaded, xenons, leather, sat nav, pdc etc. It has the sat nav, but i could not test it as their is no disc. I want to get a disc before i pick it up, but wondering which one I need? Is it a dvd or cd?

This is the actual unit. Also where can I but the dsic from?

Many thanks!

Type that part number into google and search away.

Have a look at this one, might be the one, on eBay.....

Post by: prp74 on September 26, 2012, 08:12:42 pm: The dealer said it takes DVD. Is the link I sent ok to try?
Title: Re: Sat Nav Disc - Which 1?
Post by: Squeeguk on September 26, 2012, 08:23:26 pm: Ok, my mistake then, my research in the past pointed to the silver button one being DVD, while the black button one was CD. Whereabouts are you. Perhaps find someone local who has the DVD disc and try it first. If you're close to me, you're welcome to pop round and try.

Post by: Eddie-NL on September 26, 2012, 08:30:30 pm: there are 3 versions of the mfd

2004 cars had black buttons, including the dials. CD map
2005 - 2007 Chrome on/off button and zoom dials. other buttons were black. uses DVD map
2007 Chrome and silver buttons. Uses DVD map

Thanks for the offer, but haven't picked up the car yet. The car is a one owner car from new and the dealer has reassured me that the sat nav will work, but I just wanted to try before I brought it home.

Do you think if I buy the disc I sent a link for (£9.99) is suitable? Worse case I loose a tenner

Post by: Eddie-NL on September 26, 2012, 08:55:05 pm: that map for £10 is for the RNS510, so useless for the mfd2

Thanks Eddie, that makes it much clearer. Makes sense now.
