Hi, google what you want, plenty of choices available.

I have a 2014 model like yours.

Download the maps tool programme. There are several sites where you can get the latest maps download. Use the sd card option to update.

according to skoda dealer my stereo take a disc i.e like a cd disc to update maps not an sd card?

cheers kev  

My car uses a dvd disc to update maps, they are available!

thanks for your input !

i just contacted a seller on the bay to see if the cd dvd that he was selling was compatible with my car and he said no! 

the version he was selling was RNS 510 & RNS 810 Europe V17 2020/2021?

COULD YOU TELL ME THE VERSION YOU USED ON YOUR CAR?

CHEERS KEV

Have bought from this guy on eBay in the past - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124562562405

 

Just bear in mind that the Columbus units can start to struggle to read the dual layer DVDs used for non-genuine map updates discs.  My own 63 plate had no problems with first 4 updates I did but then struggled with the V17 update.  Needed laser lens cleaning with cleaning disc to allow update to complete properly

right cheers budy!

thanks for the link in the poses of getting disc !

any one know if there is a way to get my satnav to avoid toll roads  ?

cheers kev

Find route options (e.g. on main map screen, press the button to left of time display that normally shows distance/time to destination to bring up a menu that includes link to Route Options) and that allows you to exclude certain features from your route, including toll roads.  When greyed out they are excluded from the route, see attached

you are a gent!

thanks for all the help again lads (top forum with lots of top guys)

cheers kev

You can download your map software from here for next time:

https://www.gpspower.net/volkswagen-seat-skoda/360982-rns-510-rns-810-skoda-columbus-cy-europa-west-v17-maps-2020-a.html,

 

then burn it onto a dual layer DVD and install

 

OR

 

google for maps tool and use the SD card method to install.

can anyone help?

Just gone out to car to confirm my recollection and yes, incoming calls do ring over the car speakers.  I can't see any ring specific volume settings on my Columbus but try phoning your phone when connected to the car and when you see the incoming call, turn up the volume on the Columbus.  That trick works to adjust sat Nov announcement without having to delve into menus whilst driving, wait until it makes an announcement and then use the volume knob (or roller on steering wheel) as it temporarily acts on nav volume rather than radio or whatever you were listening to at time of announcement.

 

If that doesn't work maybe try another phone to confirm if the issue is with the car or phone.  I suspect the latter, maybe you can individually adjust ring tone volumes for phone and Bluetooth connections (my Motorola with vanilla install of Android doesn't, maybe others with custom Android installs or iOS do?).  

im looking to try and update my superb 63 plate columbus.  not getting very far with it 

iti is very simple. 

If the DVD-player is still in good condition, you have to buy a special DVD and you can update the maps easy.

 

If the DVDplayer does not read dvd-s, you have to make a bootable CD and a SD card .
