Rns 310 Update

The usage of the MFA-screen requires a format like shown on the pictures below. The color can be red or white. Touareg (7L) requires a wide color screen display as shown below.
On RNS-310 radios the described functionality is working only with a radio firmware level of at least SW0351. This level was installed into new cars from mid of 2010. Updates are not available.
We recommend the optional microphone for invisible installation into the dome light (36338-2). At a Volkswagen T5 it is required to verify if the dome light indeed has a slot for the microphone. This can be recognized by a grid in the light front panel. For the Touareg (7L) a special microphone (36338-7L) is available for cars with an opening in the dome light. Please choose in our shop which microphone has to be in the package.
