RNS510 Firmware Upgrade Dealer/Supplier

[pazz]

Is anyone aware of a company or Volkswagen dealer who would offer to upgrade the RNS-510 firmware?

Call me a bit of a girl , but I dont want to risk bricking my RNS-510.

I enquired at my local dealer but they tried to sell me a £100+ maps DVD  

I'd like 266x as I'm stuck on 900 at the moment, I've got a new "Q" gateway ready to be fitted/coded.

Is this an A revision unit ?, Going to 2660+ can cause more issues than just needing the new canbus

also you may as well do it yourself, because whoever does it will probably make you sign a disclaimer in case it goes wrong

I cant even get my unit to show me what Firmware is installed. Mines a Version B but when i press the buttons <>+ i, then setup, nothing happens!!

Ive also tried just holding down the setup button, but all that does it bring up the Radio service test page showing FM/AM/DAB sig strenghts?

Any idea's chaps?

it needs VCDS to enable it on newer units (an adaption change)

this one i think

Using Vagcom/VCDS open Channel 37 – Navigation, go into adaption and change channel 50 to 1 (will be 0).

To enter the test/setup mode when the RNS 510 is operating press and hold the setup button, keep holding it when the radio menu appears and shortly after the test menu appears . I had to reboot my unit after coding it but it may be possible a power cycle is enough.

But as far as I know that adaprion change is only applicable from 266x and later.

Or do you have details which firmwares it is applicable to?

On mine I had to make that adaption change when I went to 1100 IIRC

Version B. The only issue I am aware of is the battery drain on MY 07 or earlier cars due to old canbus gateway. Mine is March 2007 reg so I presume MY06? (I've not checked this yet).

On mine I had to make that adaption change when I went to 1100 IIRC  

I had to make the adaption change to get it show the secret menu and I'm only running f/w 900.

By getting another party to do the upgrade you can pass on the risk.

Good Point. Will have a chat with my local Master Tech.

So you don't know the exact origin of your unit yet you want someone else to accept responsibility for upgrading it.

I honestly can't see anyone taking that on, why would they? Especially a VW dealer.

I have an A rev unit on 266x firmware but we failed with voice control.
Can you post up your coding or an autoscan please?
