I had battery drain when I first installed the RNS510 in to my 2005 GTi.

Installed a 27xx modified firmware from Josi, and drain sorted.

Just my 2 pence worth  :mad:

No need to get mad :confused:

Originally there was a 272x firmware that Josi modified to fix battery drain.

However now it is just the VUCI File swap so that it will work with most of the newer firmwares. Otherwise you were stuck at 272x until you got a newer gateway.

I've got a B unit and was running modified 2760. Upgraded canbus and firmware to 3810. The unit seems more responsive but apart from that are there any other new features? Still looks same apart from the startup logo

The main changes are

Voice control, however you do need to wire in a seperate mic for this. I have it and hardly use it as it is quite slow. Earlier versions had it but it was improved from 38XX onwards.
When you hold setup for 30 secs you get the FM, AM and Version Info menu's. Version info gives you map version, hw and sw versions
New style compass
New POI which you can load from SD Card
Third partition for the POI's, Music partition becomes 15gb unless you have one of the newer versions which has a 40gb HDD like i do.
Stability improvements
Faster startup over 2XXX firmwares
Display optical parking and rear view camera at same time
Display climatronic control if approriate climatronic fitted
Excluded roads in route options menu
Larger RVC screen with transparent menus at the side

That's about it off the top of my head.

I was thinking of upgrading to version 3810 so that I can add POI (cameras) via memory card

With version 27xx I have to burn a new DVD with modified maps to update POI,s
