Meh I will get the updated map and keep the OEM nav.

Anyways we are past that, got other goodies on the way now.

You could always simply buy one of the ebay clones that looks the same but has all the updated functions and maps.

See I am not to concerned with video or anything, I like plain and simple music. And being lazy and using my wheel controls.

Plus I don't like the fact that the Nav is out of date and doesn't have half the roads around the outside of the city haha.

Steering wheels controls were not compatible with any of the Aux video inputs, only audio/video signals are input.

When you put in a newer version Nav disc, it automatically upgrades the firmware on the RNS, you can downgrade it with the vag-com should you decide to get a video adapter.

Most Aux input adapters just use analogue audio/video input, the Apple TV only has HDMI out and requires 110V AC power. Something like a G-Box or Raspberry pi both have analogue audio/video and can be powered from a simple 5V usb car adapter. One of those things where "if I was doing it again...."

the new mmi not sure,if i put a 2012 disc in my rnse i lose my media player and reverse camera, you can make a disc that has 2012 maps with 200sw but thats way out of my computer skills .

a few guys on the rnse forums have ended up with very expensive paperweights trying this.

Will that work with the newer mmi?

for future reference if you go the video adapter route check your software version. after 2008-2009 onwards all the maps came with a update that disabled all video inputs i still run 2007 maps, sw200 is the last one which still had video.

Get a aux video input adapter and be done with the SD cards. I went with an Apple TV, but with todays technology an Raspberry pi would be a great alternative.

Very Nice! Are you controlling it with the iOS Remote App?

Re: The long road home - Intro and an epic road trip all for a car.

Never heard of it... will look into it in the future. For now I am enjoying the cards, the control and display works as it should.

How do the controls work with the aux input adapter? Can you still use the wheel controls?????
