Our RNS nav systems

Traffic warnings

The system will warn you of any traffic problems and divert you to a better, faster route if one is available. The split screen displays both map and additional useful information for extra clarity.

And there's no need to stop the music while you're following your route - the Navigation data can be copied on to the SD card so that the CD player is kept free for playing your music. Alternatively you can plug your MP3 player into the AUX-in socket for music on the move.

Satellite navigation updates

The satellite navigation systems installed in the Volkswagen vehicles will need updating periodically. The update process is simple and relatively quick¹ depending on the system fitted to your vehicle. Pop along to your local retailer and enjoy a coffee whilst we update your navigation system.²

Identifies place names

The system identifies names of places and streets and short voice commands like "enter route guidance" and immediately begins to calculate the route. There's a wide choice of commands to choose from, depending on what you want to do from 'map' to 'postcode' and 'house number'.

For the radio, you can select the channel, frequency, bandwidth and memory list, among other commands, and select CDs, when you feel like listening to your own music. The RNS 510 offers superb sound quality with 8 speakers*, Aux-in socket so you can plug in your iPod, and can be specified with either a Multi Device Interface (MDI) or a 6 CD autochanger for hours of uninterrupted music. The integrated 30 GB hard disk offers space for your music collection - and, of course, for the navigation data. And the SD memory card system ensures a convenient exchange of data whenever you need it.

Watch films - when you've stopped

Because your Navigation Data is stored on the hard drive, this frees up the DVD drive for movies. So you can enjoy watching films on the high resolution screen with its excellent picture quality, when your car is stationary.

Note: audio will continue to play when you're on the move.

Phone calls on the move

And making phone calls on the move will become even safer and more convenient in future. With the optional Bluetooth mobile phone preparation, you can use the Phone button and touch-screen to access the telephone menu directly, scroll through the phone book, and even enter numbers on the display. (This system is only compatible with rSAP mobile telephones - please ask your local retailer for more information.)

So, wherever you want to go in your Volkswagen, and whatever you'd like to listen to on the way, the RNS 510 is waiting for your command.³

All Europe on the map

With pre-installed map data for the whole of Europe you can feel confident of finding your way easily, however far you're going. The display has both 2D and 3D options. The 3D map has a plastic elevation model and 3D city model for building silhouettes plus a detailed display of important structures for easy recognition. It also displays speed limits. You can use the voice control function for both the navigation system and in-car entertainment through the multifunction steering wheel.

Easy commands

The system identifies names of places and streets with a new 'one-shot full word input' function, which means you can command it to find a street and town in combination. If you go off road the navigation screen has a compass and altimeter to help plot your route.
