Hi, new to here thanks for the addition...

I'm trying to find out if anyone in Australia is oon this site..? 

I'm suffering with what seems to be a common problem but no definitive answer...

Columbus showing:- "system starting" after a voice command asking for the navigation disc to be inserted...

I know there are lots of threads on this subject and sorry to ask again but maybe this way I'll get a definitive answer for Australian firmware/nav maps...

Where I might get a cd with the maps on maybe...

Thanks

Hi, welcome Wylee.

 

There are definitely some Aussies on this site, well I've seen at least one that I can remember (Gascan Jerry if I remember the name right).  If you don't get more or better replies here you could have a look at the Octavia Mk2 forum for this issue and/or post in there.  Skoda Octavia Mk2 (2004 - 2013) forum. -  https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/28-skoda-octavia-mk2-2004-2013/

 

HTH. Good luck.  Wylee (Willy?)

 

 

Thanks mate I'll give it a look...

Can't go wrong name-dropping @JR RS for all your Aussie advice and enthusiasm...

@wylee - hey hey.
sounds like u have the mk2 Octavia with the Columbus RNS-510 system.

it's strange that it is asking u to insert the navigation disc because the RNS-510 installs the maps on the built-in HDD, and runs off that, hence not requiring a CD to run.

 

u may have to re-install the maps again.

i used to have the RNS-510 maps before, as i had a MY11 mk2 Octavia RS prior to my current Superb.  However i'm not sure if i still have the maps.  will have a look when i'm home.

 

otherwise, i would recommend jumping on the MIBSolution website and downloading the latest maps from there. V7 is latest one for us. 

Folder path is -> Maps -> RNS -> RNS510 AUS-NZ V7 CD_8035

“Guest” is the username and password. It should be on a pop up but it might not be visible. 
 

You may also have to click through a few folders to find what you’re looking for - there’s some sense in the making but not always!

@wylee - don't use ur phone. Use a laptop/PC.

 

Login (details r on the login page itself - screenshot below), navigate to the folder, as I provided above, download the file, unzip it, burn it to CD, insert into ur Columbus, start the Update process.

 

 

 

Thanks for the reply..

I don't have a CD/DVD burner, but can I do it by the SD card slot..?

Can I update the RNS-510 maps from an SD card..?

Or Does it have to be CD..?
