V9 Map Disc With Speed Cameras

[Georrge]

From holding down the set up button, I have the hidden menu enabled

[Georrge]

It just seems as if my SW version doesn't match up with what is actually installed

Upgrade your version and get your problem solved (except the battery drain issue, that you need to test to see if the fix works for you).

Just use a modified update version (and not a factory version that deletes you coding) and you won't need to code your unit with VCDS. That's what I've been doing and never needed to code mine.

Can somebody do a update disc for my rns it has old software on there I believe and I'm not that great at downloading the right stuff myself.

Easier said than done when all the links for the firmware come back with 'file not found' because the links are so old 

I need modified versions of 1100, 2680, 3810 and 3970. I've been told I can't just jump from 0900 to 3970. I've spent a while looking and come across loads of old forum threads on the topic, but every single link is broken 

[Shoduchi]

You can safely jump to modified 3810.

Your unit will be completely formatted so I don't see the benefit of doing those older firmwares.

This has the new partitioning which is necessary to put v10/11 maps on units with a 30GB HDD.

You'll need to put maps, POI and all music back on.

I have this FW on my A unit by the way.

I'll take your word for it then I was jsut purely going by what vRS Carl told me, this will be the first time updating my firmware so I'm literally just taking into account what others are telling me. But you amongst others have said it will be fine, so I'll go ahead and get it done!

Cheers for the link buddy! I am downloading now and will update this afternoon. Does it lag at all, or does it all run smoothly?


IF MY UNIT GETS BRICKED I WILL BE RUNNING A COLLECTION OF £50 FROM EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED 

[Shoduchi]

The firmware update is done with the ignition off. So don't put the key in the ignition.

[skard]

I have only ever had my A unit but it is no slower than any aftermarket stereo I have used

[Georrge]

The key will remain out, cheers!
Just popped down to staples to spend £13 on a pack of blank discs.. funnily enough they had sold out of single discs.. 

Time to burn it to disc!

[Georrge]

Update complete, seems to be running faster than it was originally

When will I know if I have the battery drain issue? Will it be dead in a few hours, or is it an overnight thing? Or should I just assume I have the issue and do the fix for it? I don't fancy getting stuck at work tomorrow

Cheers

[Shoduchi]

Depends on how your battery is atm. It can be hours or days.

I would do the fix and have some jumper cables at hand...

[Viking]

You should fix the battery drain. And next time I tell you to do something......

You may now install the new maps disc you have.

[Georrge]

I'll run the fix just in case then! All seems well, but my bluetooth module seems inactive?

Also, am I right in thinking that I should now have the feature which displays what song is being played over the Radio?
Viking, that disc got chucked But now I updated I'm able to add them myself via the memory card
