Title: What Software version for RNS 510
Post by: T6 SUR on October 23, 2013, 10:42:14 am: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am on the look out for an RNS 510 unit.

I am just wondering what firmware version i should be on the look out for, i have a 2008 Mk5 GTI and want a simple plug and play unit without the hassle of updating anything.

many Thanks

thanks for that would do you mean though that it needs to be the modified version?

And can you confirm whether this is version B, C, L etc etc

Many Thanks

EDIT: just seen yo have a 2008 golf, Your canbus should be a newer version so any firmware will do

I have had 3 B units now and cant complain with them, If you go for a C or above, they will be LED and of course the price will also go up.

Whats your budget?, Ill see if i can source some for you..

Does this mean an RNS510 with modified firmware doesn't need the new gateway on a 2005 to stop the drain?

Thanks in advance :happy2:

I'd be interested to know this too :) And also what the differences are between them, what features do you lose with the 2760 over the 3810?

Does the VUCI update work on a C with the 4020?

3810 is slightly more responsive, faster startup and a different startup logo.
