- Until the next generation LCD touchscreen infotainment systems migrates from the 2015 Volkswagen Golf to the Passat, mid-size shoppers get the same RNS-510 system that VW has been using for some time.
The base 6.5-inch touchscreen system is joined by 8-speakers, HD Radio and standard Bluetooth for a decent base package. The systems iDevice and USB integration offers no voice commands like you find in most of the competition, but it is reliable and intuitive. VW offers two different navigation systems depending on how far up the trim ladder you want to walk. SE models with the sunroof can get the "RNS-315″ which uses a 5-inch touchscreen and very basic navigation software.
Jumping up to the SEL model adds a Fender branded speaker package and a 6.5-inch high resolution navigation system with satellite radio and Sirius Travel Link live traffic and information services. While most of the information is superfluous, the fuel pricing and locations proved handy as locating a diesel station can be tricky. The traffic and Travel Link features require a Sirius subscription and VW tosses in a 6-month trial for free. Sadly VW's navigation systems predate the 2012 Passat refresh by a decent window and are among the oldest and least feature rich in the mid-size sedan segment barely scoring a win over the ancient system in the Chrysler 200. You won't find smartphone apps, slick graphics and VW has even reduced the number of voice commands the system can recognize because the hardware was unable to handle it with reasonable performance. With Toyota and Honda recently launching their new infotainment systems and Ford's MyFordTouch system getting a much needed refresh, this puts VW in next to last place, just in front of the dreadful navigation system lurking in the Mazda6.

my 2014 passat the panel of the radio doesnt turn on what i have to do ?
I have this infotainment system, and it is very broken. it won't let me change languages and it's very finicky and only sometimes actually connects to my Bluetooth. as well as the GPS doesn't show where I am. it locates in Germany... so I was only wondering if it's possible to Reset it or reinstall whatever rit uses.
Is it possible to change the color?
Mine just died, no display what so ever, and you can hear the fan still running when the car is off. Does anyone know what other radio brand works well with a passat system.
The fan running when the car turns off is normal, thats an automated thing for these specific cars. Im also having the issue with my audio resetting and not turning on
Does it have a backup camera?
Mine has one it probably does
Does it have a DVD player?
Yes
mines takes incredibly long to load up or it doesn’t even load at all
I have the same issue Did you find out how to fix it ?
Michael Smith nope, I’m thinking I might just have to put in an after market one? 🤷🏻♂️
Same. it says Welcome to Volkswagen for like 2 minutes before it actually is up and running.
how about the bluetooth volume adjustment? I can't find it anywhere and it's to low
Turn your phone volume up first then the radio
Is this a fender radio
Yes
Mines won't power on
Same except it says Fender on screen and does light up. It just does not function at all.
Mine does but at the same time I have a Jetta so I’m sure if it’s the same
I work at a dealership. No choice we replaced it with I believe a deluxe Golf radio. Part # the same and all buttons the same including guide. But instead of L as the end part # it was different $500 bucks instead of $700 and then the dealer has 2 unlock it. $139. There was no other option.
Mine is stuck at the fender premium audio help me on what to do?
Same
Calvin Funk you got to update it
Did you figure it out yet?
