Description of the problem | "510" nav system back up camera is useless. Put car in reverse, back out of garage -still no camera, it turns on when already down driveway. This is a commom complaint (see internet) the company will do nothing to address this expensive but useless toy as the nav system is also useless because of complexity. Cell phone is my navigator of choice. Knowing now what i know i would not have bought this model. This system is basically a useless add on and an embarrassment to vw. |
