    The seller states the version. Not sure how else to check.

    The seller replied and said the DVD is set to region 2 like yours. They added that I need to use VCDS to change the region.

    Looks like I might as well get VCDS since i want to change a few other settings in my car and potentially add the bluetooth as well. May also need VCDS to fiddle around to get the MFD to display the turn by turn directions... which i think is very cool.

    Some RNS 510 questions.

    Just installed an RNS 510 C LED that i purchased from ebay to replace my RCD 510 and have a few questions:

    1. I am aware the unit stays on for a period of time once the key is removed however after leaving mine for approx 40mins i was still able to turn the unit on without inserting a key, is that normal? (this was done without opening a door, done by just leaning in)
    2. On the initial boot up screen where it says welcome to VW it also says sound by Dynaudio. I don't have Dynaudio so does that mean the unit is setup to play through a dynaudio system? (it may just be me but when playing songs through my ipod the sound doesn't seem quite as good as my RCD510)
    3. Is there a way while using the Nav to get the chick to say the street names instead of 'turn left now' and also to display the speed limit on the street you are traveling on.
    4 Finally, what the hell does the 'star' button actually do? i pressed it and nothing happens...

    That's all the questions i have at this stage

    Going back to a previously mentioned issue in this thread - setting the Region Code; I have a new Skoda Octy (MY2011) with Columbus (RNS510) and the region code is wrong - frustrating considering it came standard with the car delivered in Australia!
    I had a look, but cannot find where anyone has described resetting the region code. Anyone able to assist?

    Either take it back to Skoda/VW or get someone with VCDS to change it.

    Thanks ozgti; I am generally reluctant to go to a dealer unless it is absolutely necessary.....I actually meant can anyone describe resetting the region code with the VCDS?

    If you do that, change the region code to 4, not 6. 6 is China.

    I can vouch that it works, did it on mine over a year ago.

    BOOOYAAAA!!!! I'm so happy! I received my RNS510 today. Installed it in less than 30 mins. It's working great! It works with all of the steering wheel controls and climate control perfectly.

    My MFD now gains an extra navigation feature that contains compass. I noticed that the "next turn" also displays on the MFD in addition to a line indicating how close the next route point is. For example, if I'm approaching a roundabout or turn, the white solid bar on the MFD shrinks as I approach. The "next turn" directions are timed very well with ~15m before the turn point.

    All this & didn't require VCDS at all!!

    The only hiccup I had was first activation took a long time for the unit to figure out my location. All starts since then locate me pretty quickly. From reading various forums this is common.

    One of the fins around the edge where the screw holes are is bent, but I straightened that out with pliers.

    Does anyone with RNS510 know if the cooling fan running all the time is normal? The RCD310 presumably doesn't run much since it draws little power, but tonight's temps were cool and the fan was running quite fast. I wonder how things will be on a hot day!!

    By the way, I give full props to this video that shows exactly how to install the RNS510 (incl antenna position). The antenna position is obviously working well for me.

    I'm one really happy camper. Fingers crossed the unit is good.

    Yeah... I had that issue too... bent mounting tab. Any feedback on my issue regarding the fan running fast?
