Ok, My battery Died. Put a new one in and my head unit/nave will not come back on. Stealership says unit died due to bad battery install. Now says it will cost me 3200.00 to replace. Just checking to see if this is true with these units, and can I just install an aftermarket unit instead.

Ok Im looking to upgrade via OEM from my 07 Nav unit to the next model up that was touch screen. I believe it was in the 08 or 09 MK5 possibly 2010. what i am looking for is a part or model number if anyone knows it.

As promised, I had some goodies arrive from the fatherland that I got around to installing today, bringing the B5 into the modern era. I’ve hated not having BT in this car and have searched for a reasonable solution with the OEM Nav, I found the Bury 9068 App BT kit-a great bridge between OEM...

Greetings to all and Happy Holidays, I have been following the posts on this forum but have not seen any recent mention of NAV or video back up systems applied to the B5 or 5.5 passats. Hopefully, this is the right place to ask anyone if you have installed a system that you are pleased with...

Hi, I've a problem with my passat estate nav system. Car has RNS510 navigation system fitted from new and white on black MFD as standard. Since we've had it the nav directions have repeated in the MFD and when nav isn't being used the compass appeared in display. Some time this this year...

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate a bit of help with my voice nav on google maps...or lack of it. I have a 2012 station wagon and an iphone 5. The voice nav on the phone works fine until I get in the car and then no go, it's silent. The exception to this is when someone calls on the phone...

I have an odd problem. My 510 will play CD's, DVD's but in the MEDIA screen the only header normally is lit up is the MDI box. I DO NOT even have the MDI cable for that. I want to add more waypoints via a SD card, only a 665kb file. I have tried ten different SD cards from 500 mb to 8 GB. Tried...

So I am back in the passat world after selling my 05 TDI wagon. Buying another 05. I am tempted to throw in a OEM Nav G unit but wondered if it is even worth the effort? From what i remember it was a pain in the ass. But I also had the D version! Any thoughts? Should I just go with a high...

Just looking for more info. Thanks

Hey everybody, I was thinking about purchasing a nav unit to spruce up my 12 Passat S. I was thinking of buying one of the Asian knock-offs that look exactly like the real thing (I mean, I work for VW and we make the stereos in Japan anyways), but I just don't want to buy something that's going...

i have a 2014 passat tdi se, i would like to replace my radio with a OEM radio with nav. can any one tell me how big of a deal that would be? thanks

I have a 2012 Passat with RNS510 nav radio and it just started losing Sat Nav reception. I will Start it up and it will have say 5-7 satellites out 10 and slowly the number will drop to 0 and sometimes the nav will show me offroad and in fields sometimes in another city. Anyone have issues with...

Just bought my wife a new 2014 Passat. I loved it in black, but she wanted it in silver. I'm wondering what are some cheap/easy ways I can make it look better...or any tips and suggestions in general...One question i had was why in the world does VW not include HID headlights in their 2014 or...

I'm looking to sell my clean, single-owner Jetta TDI because I recently got a job in the city. 38,425 miles. I love this car, but I don't need such a nice commuter anymore. $20,000 is what I owe on it. I've put it up on Craigslist and EBay for $22,000, so this is the PW/friend/family discount...

Our 2013 Passat Highline has the full package, including the NAV system which is a first for us. Being a bit of a technophobe, we only got around to trying it the other day after having the car since September. Programming our destination was actually easier than I had thought and lo and...

Well it's either time to part the b5.5 or sell it, so I'm posting two of the big ticket items for sale. OEM nav is in perfect condition. No dead pixels, no missing buttons, and all lights still illuminate. Version D is the version you want if you want to integrate instrument cluster functions...
