RNS 510 again

Hi,  I know this has been done to death but I am trying to get a definative, 100% answer as to the version of CAN gateway needed to ensure no battery drain issues when retro fitting a RNS510.  I have a March 2007 ED30 with Can Gateway "K" according to VCDS scan. I managed to clear all the faults after fitting but have 1 question.

answer #2 states that "K" or above will be OK - is this correct?? as I'm sure I have read elsewhere that it needs to be at least "L"

Any advice would be appreciated as I would like to upgrade from SW 1100 to SW2680 for the extras but don't want to run into battery problems as I don't use my car every day.

No problems for me. I have k version gateway with B revison RNS-510 (HW:11) retrofitted. Originally running fw 1120 and now running 2680 for a few months now with no battery drain problems.

I had a similar thread a while ago.

Ron,

thanks for that - looks like I'll give it a go.

Did you lose Maps & music when you upgraded to 2680?
Where did you get the updated fw?

There are a couple of working download links if you search my-gti.com

Thanks for your replies - I have downloaded the 26XX firmware and burnt to a CD so just have to go for it :scared:

Will the unit switch itself off after 30 mins or will it stay on till the upgrade is finished,  I believe that takes some 50minutes

How do I ensure the RNS stays on without the ignition on for long enough?

Thanks

David
