Morning caps.
New on here but it seems the font of all knowledge for the RNS510!.
I've just obtained one to put in my Aug 2007 Passat Sport TDi 170 (200) to replace the old RCD300. I've recently had an MFD2 in the car which worked fine through my MFD+ on dash.
The RNS510 I obtained is an old one 1TO 035 680A HW: H04 and SW:1000 made 10:12:2007.
I installed it and to start with the screen wouldn't react for putting code in. After disconnection and retry bingo it worked and after putting code in all worked fine except it's asking for map DVD which I don't have............... anyway it doesn't seem to want to connect to the car and won't run off with ignition or link into my MFD+. To me this sounds like the drain issue people talk about as you have to actually switch radio off.
I have downloaded the SWL fix to see if that helps things first and have also downloaded the 4020A Firmware and also the 1200GW fix for power drain (I think).
Mine has the 'i' symbol top right so how do I go about this?
I assume I switch on but must not have key in ignition and then insert the SWL fix and press Setup 'i' and ejct and wait and see. If all works do I then insert 1200GW drain fix or 4020A firmware update??
Lots of questions but what maps should I be hunting for - I know I may have to pay for them but how up to date can I get on it after doing the above??
Many thanks in anticipation - yes I know it's a Passat but there doesn't seem to be a forum like this for them?? After all I do have 200 hp in a 2.0TDi and 430Nm................
