Tutorial - How to Update RNS-510 Firmware. ***New Links & Firmware*** 19/02/12

[SkyJawa]

Now for my next mission.  I downgraded from 4020 to 3810 and then back up to 4020.  I then applied the VUCI fix and I was finally able to apply my personal poi folder with speed cams.

Also, I can now search POI's from my map, which I couldn't do before.  As a number of other users have said, if you have a version A, B unit, then you must update your FW to version 3XXX before updating to version 4XXX or else you won't get the POI's working!

Thanks to all for your tireless efforts in helping us noobs!

I thought 4020 didn't work with the battery drain fix?

I've tired to download the files for the upgrade but the the file is 'RAR' file and then you can't put it into img burner. What do you need to do?

download winrar to extract the file. it should then be a recordable format like an ISO.

Sorry for the late reply.  4020 is the last update that will be stable for the 'B' revision units, but just as I did you'll have to apply the vuci fix, which comes from the older firmware.  I've done this update to my car and its been running for the past 3 months with no battery issues.  By doing this update, I've got a faster system, 7 digit postcode search, and the latest maps with full POI's and even Speed Cameras.

Does anyone know the latest firmware that can be installed to a rns 510 version c? In the process of reading up about maps etc too. I'd love to have maps with the poi's showing on them, such as petrol stations etc

Any help appreciated

X2 on the above. Just buying a version C.

What software should I load to avoid battery drain?
I've read through this thread but can't pull out a definitive link.

Also need to source the latest maps, if anyone has any info on where I can source it from. A PM would be great.

Thanks

I have a couple of questions and in need of some info please.

1. I have updated my RNS510 REV H maps to V10 this week including POI's and cams. Everything went fine and is now working. I am currently running SW Version 3970. Is there any point updating to a newer firmware and if so to what?

2. I tried to update the maps on a friends Rev C LED but that just kept spitting the disc out. I also found it does not have the same menu options that mine has. E.G. no menu to allow personal POI's to be loaded. This is currently running SW Version 2840 and believe this is the reason. What version should this be upgraded to to allow V10 maps plus personal POI's and cams?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on the age of your vehicle I believe 
Late 2007+ you should be fine if not then you may require a Canbus, you can buy these preceded on ebay if required otherwise the main dealers or VW specialists will charge you a few quid

Hello, my 2006 Passat is lousing battery! I have 3810 firmware version on the rns 510 and a Version Q gateway! It´s a new gateway!

But the problem continues!...

Sometimes the rns starts by its wone! After the ignition is off!

Can somewone help me???

Thanks!...

So if i'm reading this correctly, updating the firmware has a good chance of correcting battery drain, but i might still need to change the Canbus Gateway?

Does anyone know the cause of the battery drain? I'd have thought turning the unit off when you exit the car would have worked but something must still be active?

Hi all,

Thanks for this helpful topic.

I've just bought a car with a RNS-510 with a very very dim screen.  As if the backlight isn't working.  The unit functions, there is sound and I can operate the menus.  Infact, it's all working as normal apart from the screen.  I've tried adjusting the brightness but it's as if the backlight is off.

I've downloaded the 2760 firmware and burned to a CD.  I inserted the disc, it rebooted and started the firmware installation - however the screen was still dim.  Would this be the case until the firmware is replaced?  This is my first attempt at a fix - otherwise I'll have to remove the unit and send it off to be repaired.

I've tried to get into the "secret" menu, but all I see is three radio mode options FM, AM and DAB.  As I see DAB in the list, might this suggest the firmware has been upgraded at somepoint?

As anyone else had this issue?  The screen is almost like an "inverse of colour" if that makes any sense?

Many thanks.

I have the exact same problem as jamie the screen backlight is really dim regardless
any help???
