Kamold on here has set up a site with links to a firmware version that WORKS.
Go to http://www.rnsfirmware.com/
Select the modified fw 3810a and download it.
Burn the image to a good quality disc at the slowest speed possible and then feed it to your rns510!
Make sure your ignition is off with keys NOT inserted.
That site above will tell you what this fw will do for you.
All respects and thanks to Kamold.
I have used this and it works well without issue.

Thanks a lot HumbleGT. Further up this thread it implied I'd have to go to 2xxx first because I'm currently on 0800. I'd love to be able to get at Joshi's recovery CD too before giving this a go just in case...

HumbleGT:
If I'm honest I don't know if you have to jump up incrementally as I was on 1120 and went straight to Kams 3810a.
I think I made a recovery cd but don't know it's value yet as I've had no issues.
My ball ache stemmed from the fact that my SSD drive would just NOT get recognised by the unit. Had it in and out at least 10 times over a few days.
Any way, hopefully someone in here can confirm for u that you're ok to jump to 3810a.
Anyone???

Well I gave it a go. It did upgrade successfully.
On the plus side I get full postcode entry, on the negative my Fiscon Bluetooth is no longer recognised so I guess the coding got trashed by the upgrade :confused:
MDI still works but I don't know if that needed coding changes.
Sigh

Yes some firmware upgrades can delete the coding so it's handy if you have or know someone with VCDS.
If you've gone to 38xx above then it will need a recode.
MDI is a seperate controller to RNS.

Well I ran Josi's rescue image against the install and that sorted the coding. So I'm happy; full postcode lookup, rear camera, Bluetooth, MDI all working. v9 maps installed :smiley:
Thanks to all
