Hy! thanks for the tutorial!
Do anywone know hot to activate dvd playback in motion whit this version of firmware 276X?

this is really helpful!

I have just loaded on the http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VD5REKW1, so hopefully I won't have a flat battery again in the morning.

Do you know how to tell if the batter drain issue is resolved, other than just waiting?

Should the unit take longer to boot up when first turned on after being off for a certain amount of time?

Unfortunately the key press unlock was removed from 268X onwards. It now has to be programmed in using special software. This can't (at the moment at least) be done any other way than connecting a laptop to the car. The only person i know on here who can do it is Darren (MortyGTTDi)

It will take longer to start up if it has been left for a few days (mine always does)

seems that the new firmware has sorted the problem, the vw screen is appearing after i have left the car for a couple of hours. I didn't have a flat battery this morning either.

Great tutorial as it has saved me the hassle and money of buying a newer can gateway, many many thanks!

Is there anything similar for the MFD2 to up date the firmwere??

What would happen if I did the 2760 firmware update and then left the Navi software to update, and then I started the car and drove it before it finished ?  Would this stuff up the upgrade ?

You can update the maps whilst driving as it will just continue where it left off

Hi All,

I'm new to here, and trying to get my head round the RNS510 and it's capabilities!!!


I have a version b (1T0035680B), and I have managed to update the maps from 6835 to  7388 on hardware version H11, Software version 1200.

At the moment, if I press the button at the top right I get a message saying 'The guidance system is inactive'

Also, if I try to get the DVD in motion over-ride to work (top right button then setup) it works, but after about 5 seconds the setup screen comes on. If I press cancel, it comes up with the message to say the vehicle is in motion and the screen won't work...

A few questions:


1) Does anyone know what firmware this unit will take?
2) How do I get the guidance system to be active?
3) is the dvd issue a fault or is there a work around?
4) can ther  video in motion be activated with Vag-Com?


I have the proper RossTech Vag Com sso I can alter whatever is necessary...


Any advice / assistance would be greatly appreciated...


ps.. anyone in east yorkshire - vag com services available FOC - pm for assitance!



Thanks in advance!

That button can be used to speak the last instructions. If you've not programmed your satnav, then it doesn't have any instructions! Set it up to go on a journey and then press the button at various points and you'll see what it says.

2) How do I get the guidance system to be active?

Program it! Tell it to go somewhere!

4) can ther  video in motion be activated with Vag-Com?

No but I think mortygttdi has a tool to fool the unit into thinking the "safe speed" is higher so it doesn't cut out.

Did the upgrade no problems.  Now just have to get the 7.1 maps....

FYI I have a Golf TSI 60 plate, Dec 2010 with RNS510.

Hi - did people use the regular download on the link to 2760 firmware and have it work successfully?

[vRS Carl]

Yes Chris the regular download will work fine
