2680 & K rev Gateway, (Update- no battery issues!)

<< < (2/2)

Ron, Edition30:
My car fitted with the K revision CAN gateway was built in July 2007. From what I can tell K revision was in use from April 2007 untill June 2008 when it was replaced with the L revision.

Aldo:
Mine was registered March 07. Any indeas what CAN gateway it will have? I've just put my name down for one of Darren's RNS510s version Cs with 2680 SW. Should I be worried? :scared:

Really? My car was built in October 2007, reg'd Jan 08 and bought by me Aug 08. It has the L version of canbus. The only thing is I asked the dealer to fit an ipod cable to the RCD 500. No idea if this required upgrading the canbus.

Ron, Edition30:
Revision change dates were obtained from the ETKA parts catalogue, perhaps the availability of newer revisions differs between the factory and the dealer parts network..?

My car is a very early 08 model year. One of the option codes indicates that is a Pre-production series/next model year build, maybe factory revision changes are brought in after this cycle...

Ron, Edition30:
Just thought I'd update this thread. I've upgraded the firmware on my B revision RNS-510 to 2680 and have no battery drain issues with my K revison gateway.  :happy2:

Thanks to everyone that replied, gave me the confidence to take the plunge and upgrade.

Cheers
Ron.
