I think there are a few of us that haven't upgraded our older Can Gateways that would like to know this.

Would be great to have most if not all the additional features of the later firmwares, without having to spend more money on upgrading the gateway.

If anyone has attempted this please post and let us know.

If you look on VWNavi a guy called Josi has modified both 272X and 276X firmware to solve the battery drain issue. He has taken the VUCI from 1200 and put it in both firmwares which solves the battery drain issue.

I have the 272X version working on both my MFD3 A versions and suffer no battery drain.

Click me

You need to register (which is free) to see it. I'm not linking the firmware direct so you can see what issues there are (mp3 not resuming etc)

Not tried 276X as happy with 272X

Had a reply back from Josi over at VWNAvi who posted the hacked firmwares for Rev A units. According to him, the standard (non hacked) VW 1300 firmware is perfectly suitable for my 2005 car (with Can Gateway E) and my RNS510 Rev B. Again, according to Josi, NO battery drain issues at all, no Resenberg Syndrome, and all the main features of the later 27xx firmwares with the exception of Voice control.

Darren, Steve, Carl, do you know of this being correct (before I stuff my unit)  :grin:

Cheers

From what i have heard and read what he has told you is correct.

I haven't heard of anyone with any problems.

I'm running his 272X firmware and it works fine. Josi knows his stuff :happy2:

Either is fine.

Just burn it as slow as possible and verify it afterwards  :happy2:

Yes Maicaerin, downloaded and installed at lunchtime. Everything seemed to go well, with no errors. The Map data and music on the HDD was unaffected as were all the previous settings, radio stations and Nav addresses.

The unit is now reporting itself as a 1T0 035 680C with firmware 1300 HW-Version H02. I've only had a quick play but I do seem to have a more responsive unit and certainly have the road speed indication on the Map screen, option to turn the screen off and various other improvements. Didn't see an option to change the voice from female to male (like a friends later unit) ? But as I said I only played with it for a couple of minutes.

Did notice that immediately after starting and switching to the map screen, it was already showing my current position - not a far flung field in Germany  :grin:

Will have to wait to see if there are any problems (like battery drain) but so far fingers crossed. Pictures below of the install process

Good to see its worked Norbecka, the only worry I have is the mp3 resume function as that could really get on my nerves!  Also do people know if the 729E bluetooth kit will work with the 1300 FW?

I'll try that out tonight Rich and report back. Doesn't this only affect VRB mp3 files (of which I actually don't have many) ?

I didnt appreciate that it was specific types of files as that acronym meant nothing to me, that makes me feel alot happier as I dont think I have any variable bit rate files.  Just the question on the bluetooth kit now then!  Cheers Norbreck  :drinking:
