What software should I load to avoid battery drain?
I've read through this thread but can't pull out a definitive link.

Also need to source the latest maps, if anyone has any info on where I can source it from. A PM would be great.

Thanks

Depends on the age of your vehicle I believe  :happy2:
Late 2007+ you should be fine if not then you may require a Canbus, you can buy these preceded on ebay if required otherwise the main dealers or VW specialists will charge you a few quid  :drinking:

Hello, my 2006 Passat is lousing battery! I have 3810 firmware version on the rns 510 and a Version Q gateway! It´s a new gateway!

But the problem continues!...

Sometimes the rns starts by its wone! After the ignition is off!

Can somewone help me???

Thanks!...

So if i'm reading this correctly, updating the firmware has a good chance of correcting battery drain, but i might still need to change the Canbus Gateway?

Does anyone know the cause of the battery drain? I'd have thought turning the unit off when you exit the car would have worked but something must still be active?

Hi all,

Thanks for this helpful topic.

I've just bought a car with a RNS-510 with a very very dim screen.  As if the backlight isn't working.  The unit functions, there is sound and I can operate the menus.  Infact, it's all working as normal apart from the screen.  I've tried adjusting the brightness but it's as if the backlight is off.

I've downloaded the 2760 firmware and burned to a CD.  I inserted the disc, it rebooted and started the firmware installation - however the screen was still dim.  Would this be the case until the firmware is replaced?  This is my first attempt at a fix - otherwise I'll have to remove the unit and send it off to be repaired.

I've tried to get into the "secret" menu, but all I see is three radio mode options FM, AM and DAB.  As I see DAB in the list, might this suggest the firmware has been upgraded at somepoint?

As anyone else had this issue?  The screen is almost like an "inverse of colour" if that makes any sense?

Many thanks.   :happy2:
