Can bus gateway confusion

(1/9) > >>

MPS:
Hi all,

Lets see if anyone on here can clarify something for me, basically I own a 55 plate GTI, with the F revision CAN gateway. I know this needs updating to overcome the battery drain issue when I come to fit my RCD510. I've bought an 'S' revision gateway off ebay that came off an Octavia, but I'm now not sure if it's recent enough to work. (The latest version is AD methinks)

My main reason for confusion is the advice on the site below, which contradicts itself.

http://www.my-gti.com/1101/upgrading-2nd-generation-radios-rcd-300-rcd-500-to-3rd-generation-rcd-210-rcd-310-rns-310-rcd-510-power-drain-issue

As you can see, on one line it says, "The problem is the CAN bus Gateway is too old and an updated version 1k0907530 (1k0 907 530) of L revision or higher is required"

then further down on the same page, the contradiction -

Check the ‘Skoda Parts’ link (right hand menu) for a reasonably priced gateway. Revisions that will work after the 1K0 907 530 S (1K0907530S) revision include 1K0 907 530 AA (1K0907530AA), 1K0 907 530 AB (1K0907530AB) and 1K0 907 530 AC (1K0907530AC).

Now, I don't know about them, but in my alphabet, S comes after L?

Anybody used an S revision gateway and can confirm it solves the problem?


Thanks

Matt  :happy2:

If not, I've just wasted £40!!  :sad:  :sad1:

VAG don't always follow alphabet convention with part numbers, so it doesn't follow that the later the letter the later the revision.

oookay.  :scared:

im fairly confident revision 'S' should be fine....latest revision is 'AD' IIRC
