    Latest Map Update for RNS510

    Hi, Does anyone know where I can source version 9 or 10 Australia NZ map Upgrade for RNS510.
    I had version 7 which the Dealer upgraded to Version 8 a few years ago. (I purchased the car new in 2013)
    Unfortunately 2 weeks ago the RND 510 died and defaulted back to the original German for no reason.
    Luckily I was able to source a 5238 firmware which brought the system back to life minus all my stored music and maps.
    I still had a copy of my original version 7 maps on a disc which was better than no maps, but would like to upgrade to the latest if possible.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Bill

    Thanks Flipper Dog,
    I checked them out but at @ $175, I think I will stay at version 7.
    I dont understand that VW provide free map upgrades for their later Discover car entertainment system 2014 onwards, but not pre 2014 RNS510.
    Much appreciated for you quick reply, I will keep looking.

    Like every other GPS maker once the model becomes superseded they cease updates.Tom Tom Navman etc are usually only updated for 7 years which is considered the "lifetime" of the unit. You should be happy that map started off at $595 when first issued. There are no alternative legitimate sellers

    Thanks Hillbilly,
    If the updates ceased being produced around 2014, how are they still able to sell "legitimate 2021 updates", but appreciate your reply.

    There was a version 8,9 10. Then they stopped being $59 after map 9. For some reason they then put out one for $595 and the one Euro carupgrades have. Probably because of lack of units still running they jacked the price and these were dearer and are genuine as Ive had work done there and seen the actual map..

    Just a thought from 2014 to 2021 is 7 years and that map came out last year so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    DO NOT BY FROM NAVIGATION AUSTRALIA as you will do your dough as have many others
