The RNS315 is the replacement to the RNS310 system found only in Europe. It's the new in dash GPS system for VW Golf TDI starting in 2011 and replaces the RNS510 option in 2011. The 2011 VW Jetta TDI will still keep the RNS 510 (the larger more expensive HD screen system with hard drive). If you decide to buy it later or buy a RNS510 later you can always swap and retrofit it. I also see no reason why you couldn't buy a RNS-315 and install it in your 2011 Jetta TDI. The part numbers can be found in the article link.
I like the new price point but it would have been nice to keep the large screen but just lower the resolution from the HD screen of the RNS510 if they wanted to offer a cheaper system. I don't have an iphone but I know they have GPS applications and the large screen was one of the reasons to buy the OEM navigation vs. an app for your iphone.
Inside the article are some video reviews of a nearly identical unit, the RNS310 (only sold in Europe). The best one, shown below, was a Spanish review - my Spanish is broken but you can still figure out what's going on.
The article will be updated as more info comes out.
