Here is my on-line conversation with VW about the non-availability of map updates for the 315 NAV radio ,in my car. Charles Pytko says: My dealer tells me new maps are not available for my 2012 Passat SE TDI - can you confirmm this? Charles Pytko says: I have the RNS 315 NAV system Dominic F. Charles Pytko says: 1vwbn7a34cc078342 Dominic F. Charles Pytko says: I did that... Charles Pytko says: That what it sounded like to me Dominic F. The vehicle is still under warranty... Charles Pytko says: OK... Charles Pytko says: True Dominic F. And how long do I wait before complaining again? Charles Pytko says: No problem with that... I am only a mile away from them. Thank you for documenting this issue. Charles Pytko says: That's it Dominic... Anyone heard about when updates will be available? What are the chances that it might screw things up so I loose what I have? And what's the cost? If I wait for the dealer, I get it for nothing. Just like the Stuff I have already published, I am not in it for the money, just trying to help people out. People have sent me stuff via PayPal, but it is completely up to them. No Guarantee on any of it. I am pretty sure it won't try to load it, if it doesn't see it as valid. That is the way it works on 510. It validates it first. If you wait for the dealer you won't see it at all. That is pretty evident by the conversation you yourself posted. The dealer still doesn't have it, or even have it in their pipeline that anybody can see. Technically the NavTeq website lists nothing for our cars... I am willing to try if you are? I will see if I can get it loaded on a SD on my side. If I can, I should be able to send you instructions, or post them on here. I am not going to go through testing on my side, if somebody with a 315 isn't willing to try it... I really don't want to take the chance of losing what I have.... I appreciate the offer, but the liability of doing it is too great. Now if someone is OUT of warranty and would attempt it, I would be forever grateful.

I don't have access to the 315, otherwise I could test it in person. Anybody in the Richmond, VA area with a 315, at is willing to be the test, just drop me a message. Also, I don't know why it comes up for the 2. The RNS 510 has NOTHING listed. Interesting about the RNS 510 as that is where I ordered my V5M update a couple months ago. Also, I don't know why it comes up for the 2. The RNS 510 has NOTHING listed. I sent the same question to NavTeq for an answer.
