Can you update Seat built-in satnav database?

[The_Blue_Dragon]

Hi people,
I have a Seat Altea XL Copa which has the built in satnav but the maps are out of date and also the speeds, so it shows the wrong speeds. Is there anyway I can get it updated?

Do you know what system it is?

RNS310,RNS315 or RNS510?


I managed to update the sat nav data and system firmware on the RNS310.

Sounds like an RNS 315 (aka SEAT Media System 2.2) if its a Copa. I've got the same unit in my Golf but unsure how to update. It stores its maps on onboard storage rather than CD/ SD like the RNS 310.

I think you have to buy thge correcy map disc and it copies it to the hard drive of the unit. About 150 quid IIRC

if its a 315 then yeh you have to buy the disc i'm afraid.

If its a 310 then I can send you the link to the firmware update guide I wrote a few years ago and also link you to the map files.

Hi,

I know this has been dead for a while but could anyone walk me through how to check which system I'm running?
All I have been able to find in the system is the current map version (western europe 4.0)

My car is a 2013 Seat Altea.

Any help would be much appreciated

Post a picture of it for start.

[Goll182]

That should be a picture of the unit there, I have another of the current version installed as well if that would be of any use

Thanks

[AJB88]

Yeh post that as well.

That looks like the SEAT version of the RNS315 unit. You can verify which unit it is by holding down the setup key to access a service menu. In there look at versions. If it’s the 315 model you will see 5 information lines. If it’s the older 310 model there will only be 3 lines of information. You can also check which map version you are presently using in that menu.

You’ll be able to find a SD card to update the maps for about £35. The latest version for the RNS315 is version 12 which has only been out a few months. Avoid the V10 and V11 updates apps they aren’t stable in UK models and cause the headunit to reset frequently.
The RNS310 is up to version 11.

I did a big upgrade thread on Cupra.net back in the day for the 315, I dont have the files anymore to update though and dont have a 315 either.
