You can get VIM just by inserting a CD with a small modified firmware that does that. If you press the Setup key and after 30 seconds you don't get a different Setup menu, then you don't have it enabled. You have to keep pressing when you get to the radio menu.

Yeah just tried.... It's not enabled :(

I worry about updating firmware in case things go wrong elsewhere. Read a lot of reports of screens going dim and other problems.

That's not for your version. It came from factory with the firmware 5238. I just installed this modified version to get at the same time VIM + secret setup menu.

Burn a good brand CD, get a good version like this from josi and it will be ok. I did 3-4 firmware updates on my old version B.

So do you get no lag whatsoever?
Where is your antenna placed? We both have P ver

Could it be the maps?

I remember having this issue with my previous B version but a reset and a drive sorted it.

You can update to the latest maps (v11) but I don't think they'll matter. I had v10 before and never had this lag issue with this unit.

I have my antenna in this position:


It also works if it sits just above the RNS-510 but it fixes less satellites there.

I have mine in the position they have theirs in in the pic but tried it sat on top of dash and no change to the lag....

Bloody annoying it is!

Just watched a video on YouTube of someone demoing the unit driving around France and mine seems to be the same as his too. Just not sure if I am just a fussy twat! Haha
