When you get your post count high enough, shoot me a pm and I'll sort you something out.

Thanks, I will do.

This seems to be a very informative forum about the RNS510 so will no doubt stick around.

I should also ask, what's my post count needed for PMs?

I've had a quick browse on forum titles but nothing seems to stand out as being "rules" or do I need my eyes tested?

You need 10 posts mate.

I'm going to give the firmware update a try this coming weekend - I've bought the 2014 V11 maps off the internet ready, for the Scirocco's RNS510 and the RNS510 in our Tiguan.

I don't know which mode our Tiguan's RNS 510 is though - can't gain access to the information - even by pressing and holding the Setup button.

So I've downloaded firmware 3810 ready to burn to DVD and will give it a try.... Unless someone warns me otherwise?

I was prepare Sdcard with Maps Tool program map V12 WEST and burn CD with iso image on my RNS 510 firmware 4120A and process didnt end.
I get error:

How can I repair it? What does this error mean?

Hi all newbie to the gang

I wanted to find out if you faced any issues with battery drain after the update. I have a 2006 mk5 1.6FSI  and i haven't yet checked the canbus but ive been reading that theres modified versions to assist with upgrades. Are there any links for updates for maps and modififed firmwares. Ive been on the hunt and i managed to be directed to this page as there was a link for the 4020a update. Been racking my brain over this since i installed the rns into my golf. I cant get access into the software version so im going to take a risk to update it to 2760 then work my way up. Also are there any reasonably priced canbus's which can be programmed on ebay?

Hi,

I have a RNS 510 C (1T0 035 680 C)
the radio is great, Europe map with portuguese language, video unlocked...

But my car use a old can bus (VW 2006), and if I don't use the car... only 1 day... the battery drain

It's possible to resolve/update this?

Hi ALL,

I took the plunge and upgraded the firmware using the guide to fw26xx and it worked. I now however still dont have 7 digit postcode search. I ve read a few different forums and discovered you need maps v7 as well. I only have the 6.2 disk :(. Can anyone pm me a link to the version 7.1 / 7.2 maps so i can get 7 digit postcode please. ive looked on google and all the links seem to be dead. ive looked on ebay and the only disks i can find seem to be in latvia. Can any help?

Thanks,

I used the modded 3810 software and updated my version B. All went well but now it is asking me to insert the nav dvd. I don't have one :(
Any advise? Thanks.

I am new to the forum so learning all the time, is there anyone reliable in the Birmingham west midlands area who could update my firmware and maps on my revision B 510 including full postcode.

I've got a GTI registered in December 2006. Which firmware do i need to prevent battery drain?

Sounds very confusing to me

If you have vcds then you can unlock it in the adaptation section.

Or if you have a Video In Motion disc then it does the menu at the same time.

thanks for the reply m8,

Load up VCDS, click on navigation, go into adaption and IIRC change channel 50 to 1.
Reboot the rns and it should work.
