Tutorial - How to Update RNS-510 Firmware. ***New Links & Firmware*** 19/02/12
RagingKileak:
Thanks Carl,
Just upgraded to 1300 firmware and now all working. If anyone wants the disk (burnt on a DVD at 2x speed and proven working) just let me know and I will happily post it for the cost of a stamp and an envelope. Note I am NOT offering maps or anything else which would be naughty - just the firmware I used so that it cuts out the download/burn stages of the process.
For info, if you sit and watch the process you will probably crap yourself. The unit will do all sorts of mad on's/off's and when the gateway is updated, it will buzz and pop through the speakers as power cycles happen etc.
My advise? Don't watch it.
Also, I have never seen anywhere what happens if you open doors/close doors or mess around with the car during the process. I got in and out of the car a few times, but I never shut the door fully, because I didn't know either way. If anyone can clarify that kind of thing and add it to the main post it might help some out.... It's obvious, but for thos ewho don't know it might save a person from bricking maybe?
Thanks
Matt

As long as you don't turn the ignition on or start messing about with switches etc then opening and closing doors is fine. :happy2:

I just took my netbook with me and surfed the forum whilst I did my firmware updates.

LOL. Never put the keys in mine.
Washed it while I waited. Then waxed it still waiting.
Did nearly poop when it switched off.

Hi Guys
Hopefully someone can help me on this one. Recently purchased an 08 plate Passat with an RNS-510. I believe it was an aftermarket installation.
The problem I'm having is that when I put a route in, it tells me that it's "downloading new route" and the "direction is in the route indicated" or something along those lines. I want it to talk to me along the way to tell me where to go. I've been told there may be a bug in the system as the previous owner had a lot of downloaded music which may have put a bug in the system. I have no original firmware/map disc. My questions are...
1. Could this be the case?
2. Will this firmare upgrade fix it?
3. Would it be better to format the HDD first (bearing in mind I have no original CD)
4. I dont know what model/serial number etc of RNS-510 it is, so - is there a way of finding out without having to take the thing out and will version 2720 work on it either way.
What do I need to look out for?
Thanks
