I just bough a 16Gb sd card for my RNS 510 and it will not read it. I gather I may need to update the firmware.

Can anyone tell me how to check the version?

Also if the car is only 2 years old will the dealer do it for free?

Thanks,

Alex

Probably not.

If you can get into the secret menu (press and hold setup for several seconds), then it should be able to tell you. Otherwise you'll need someone with access to VCDS (have a look at the register).

I know versions B and C will read SDHC cards, but I'm not sure about version A.

Not heard of any dealers doing the update TBH.

I would bet it's on firmware 900 at most.

You can check by rebooting the unit (press the buttons < + > + i on the top row of the unit), as soon as the VW logo displays press and hold the setup button. This will take you to a diag menu.

After several tries not reading your instructions properly and holding down setup too early I got there.

is the SW number the important one? Mine is on 1000.

If I upgrade it will it improve SD compatibility? And if so what should I be looking to upgrade it to and where would I get the files?

Also I have a bluetooth kit waiting to be installed when I have time. Does the HU's firmware affest that at all?

Thanks :)

Legally, you should obtain the firmware from the dealers.

Obviously, there are illegal methods that this website cannot condone.
