Anyone got it ?, could do with this myself, wonder what updates are on it

At that price I would think it's cheaper to buy it directly from the stealers over here :confused:
I will give mine a call in the morning to see if they have had any cars in recently with the V4 disc :happy2:
The latest Audi maps on there MMI system are much better than the VW's v3 one's, so I hope the v4 will bring some improvements.

i would be interested to see what's different, also i wonder if we can keep the speed cameras on ?
-
i reckon v4 will give us full post code search! fingers crossed
-
Let's hope they update the maps as well... some of the road details are woefully out-of-date where new bypasses, round abouts, etc. have been built.
-
And there's also a new Firmware 1100 for the RNS 510 Rev. A
With this firmware the RNS 510A gets the same features as the RNS 510B like bluetooth audio support or AV-Out!
My m8 @ vw has this disc so will be getting my firmware updated 8)
-
Do you normally have to pay for the firmware upgrade and nav disc update?
Seems a bit unfair if you already have an older version, and its a simple task of bunging in a disc to bring things up-to-date?
-
^^^ Yes each new disc is chargeable.
Previously the new versions for the older MFD2 DVD Navi where around £165 each.
-
ouch...luckily ive got a brand new V2/B unit with the latest firmware. and ill be hoping to find the V4 maps on the "internet" somewhere! ;)
-
How do I check the firmware version?
JPC - please give a shout if you find the maps online.
-
The V3 maps are online already and are quite good, with TMC enabled etc. I've got a "B" version RNS-510 - there don't seem to have been any updates for that as yet.

get in the car, don't put key in ignition, manually turn the unit on via the unit and immediatly press and and hold set up button for about 15 secs, this should get you into the hidden menu and here you will find map version an software etc etc, this works on my revision unit
-
Tried it... I just get a setup menu showing AM/FM/DAB.... perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
-
How new Is your unit ?
-

Newer A firmware (and all version B) don't allow you to do this. The setting needs to be enabled in VCDS.
-
My RNS 510unit has the new touch screen. It also came with the V3 disc. Car is only 3 months old.

Looks like you will need VCDS then
-
Is VCDS the VAG-COM dongle thingy?
-
yep. thats right.
-
think i will stick to version 1020 :signLOL:
-
There is an adaptation channel to modifiy with VCDS to enable the menus.

-

it's a B now :signLOL:
-
Did you upgrade the motherboard? That is the only way to make a Version A into a Version B, there is some hardware difference apparently.

Not alot from what i can see, postcode is still the same too, im guessing there's some road changes there but not in my area
-

please do consider the implications of upgrading, and do so at your own risk
-

182_blue - looks like your the resident expert here... :happy2:
How do I check the current firmware version on my RNS 510 unit? And, what changes are there with this newer 1100 version?

well, depending what version your running you can check by opening the car, getting in, don't put key in ignition, start up the nav unit using the knob on the unit, then when VW splash screen starts up press and hold the set up button for about 15 secs, then you enter a hidden menu, here you will find your map version and HW number.
certain versions wont allow this until programmed to be allowed to do so via Vag com (bear in mind updating to 1100 will necessitate the use of vag com (one time only though) to enter this hidden menu)
As i said doing this update could Brick your unit, so do so at your own risk
heres mine now

Ordered the V4 from VW. Will this have the firmware update on it as well?
Apologies in advance...but how do I check my version number - and I don't have this VAG-COM thingy (what ever that is)?
-
i dont think the firmware comes with the map (im told not anyway), your dealer can do it for you though, as for firmware check the text you just quoted LOL
copied here for you

ps, you know how much the disc is dont you !!!!
-
ps, you know how much the disc is dont you !!!!
Just over 200 bucks... it's on order. So, if I get this right I have to ask VW to do the firmware update separately?

yeh, if they will do it for you then fine, not sure if its chargable ?, just say you find it slow when you touch it and your mate has had an upgrade which solves this
ps, you dont need the upgrade for v4 map, it just makes the unit a bit more responsive
