Repair of the radio, navigation and amplifier in Volkswagen California T5 covers the factory RNS 315 radio-navigation system (TechniSat), used in the post-facelift Transporter T5 range.
The navigation turns on, but does not work properly
If the RNS 315 starts up but still cannot be used, the cause may lie in the software. In that case, the screen shows the message “Please insert software CD” or, immediately after switching on, the “Software Update” screen. This same group also includes freezing, resetting and no response to the NAVI button. We also handle units where the code is missing.
RNS 315 hardware faults
The second group of cases concerns the hardware itself. We repair units in which:
- the touchscreen does not work or the display is shattered,
- the FM or GPS antenna socket has been torn out,
- the front panel buttons are worn or damaged,
- the drive cannot read CDs or the reader cannot read SD memory cards.
A radio that does not switch on at all may belong to either group — checking the module determines which one.

The navigation in the California shows the update screen as soon as it is switched on – what next?
