Battery drain on 2008 gt tdi after RNS 510 installed.
« on: April 11, 2012, 06:56:43 pm »
Hi, Just purchased  a RNS 510 and iv noticed that i have Battery drain. ( The player has black screen  and runs when off )    Iv been recommended from Edition38.com that there is a guy called EDDIE-NL which could solve the problem. 
Any help would be much appreciated  :smiley:
   

                   Many thanks Craig

You really need to find out what version gateway you have installed, something you can do with a vcds scan.

If it needs updating then you can get an updated one from Eddie.

vcds is the new name for vag-com.
And yes, do a scan and post the CAN Gateway (address 19) details.  :smiley:

It's the software that causes the drain. From whet I've gathered it doesn't get the signal from the gateway to turn off
