Can Gateway battery drain
« on: September 30, 2011, 06:43:52 pm »
Hi

For people who have had the dreaded battery drain from installing a 3rd generation headunit (RNS 510). How quickly did you battery go flat, as im just making sure i definitely need one?

Since having the latest RNS 510 firmware put on for the rear view camera install, my car is still not showing any signs of a battery going flat despite leaving it for 48 once and 72 hours once as well, it turns over on the key as fast as ever  :laugh:

The gateway I have is K

Address 19: CAN Gateway        Labels: None
   Part No SW: 1K0 907 530 K    HW: 1K0 907 951
   Component: J533__Gateway   H04 0020
   Revision:   H04 02    Serial number: 241106F2000049
   Coding: 3F0F034807000001
   Shop #: WSC 00218 210 82609
   VCID: 2F691568C78D

No fault code found.

Can anybody shed anymore light on whether im guaranteed battery drain in the not so distant future?
Am i not leaving the car long enough to have a flat battery?

Confused.....  :laugh:  :scared:

Battery drain will normally occur over night, I'm surprised that you are suffering this, as I have known a few people with rev 'K' that have been fine..... :surprised:

I think Some K gateways get away with not having the battery drain issue, sure someone with more knowledge then me will be along to confirm

Guys, if you read the OP, you'll see that he's not suffering battery drain, but wondering if it is going to present in the future.

I'd say you'll be fine, Alan :happy2:
