RNS-E / SDS help

So I have finally started to have a play with the toys in the RS3 but I came unstuck. I thought I had SDS as I have the multifunction steering wheel and indeed when you press the speech button it makes the beep button but that's it. It will give me help when I ask for telephone help but when I look to store tags it states the phone book is empty. It also doresn't recognise navigation or radio commands but when I press 'mode' on the other side of the wheel I can scroll through numbers in the apparently empty phone book using the left click wheel and dial them that way by pressing the click wheel (which in itself is pretty nifty).

So does this mean I don't actually have full SDS? If this is the case is it a simple VCDS fix, firmware update or visit to dealer to have my arm ripped off for the proper version?
