The RNS315 is the Mid-level Audio system from Volkswagen which offers plenty of features at a budget friendly price. This system was introduced in 2011 in most Volkswagen models such as the GTI, Jetta and Tiguan as the premium Navigation System, replacing the RNS510 for those models.
The RNS315 is a fan favorite, due to the following features:

- 5" Touchscreen

Can anybody tell me what is the latest version of software update for the RNS 315 Navigation System installed in my VW Tiguan 2014. My dealership says it is V7 Western Europe, although I see V10 and V11 advertised on the net. Volkswagen Customer Services say they do not have access to that information and that I should talk to the dealership. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Bluetooth info is wrong. RNS-315 has built in bluetooth just has to be enabled with VCDS but can also work with external Bluetooth module.
