Tutorial - How to Update RNS-510 Firmware. ***New Links & Firmware*** 19/02/12

Have you got the SD Card setup correctly?

Ensure the PersonalPOI folder is in the root of the card.

i.e. follow this

• Format the card in FAT 32
• Make a folder on the card called "PersonalPOI" (cut and paste between the quotes for the name as if it is not exact it won't work)
• Move the .db3 file into that folder
• Remove the SD card and place it in the Nav
• Press Setup
• In the setup menu select Navigation
• You should now be able to select My points of Interest
• Select import
• Select import database
• Once complete (5-10secs) select OK and remove SD Card
• Soft reset the RNS as per the pic above
• Now press "MAP" button
• Select extras at the bottom of the screen
• Select POI Selection
• Your POI Categories will be at the end of the list
• Select the ones you want displaying
• Press ok once finished
• Do one more soft reset to give it a kick up the hoop

Your POI's should now be displayed (as long as you are near one)

thank you so much for the answer,
i tried those steps but basically my RNS doesn't recognise the SD card has the POI of interss,
the folder on the Root called PersonalPOI and  the Databas called PersonalPOI.db3

i am on 3810 FW and hear its read differet datbas formate?
the POI datbas i have is the one from the map 7692, i didnt create it
the map i am using is 7690,
probably this the problem?

That's the problem as its the POI from the disc.

You need to use POI inspector and make a database file.

Hi there...

I have an older RNS-510 Rev B runnning an older firmware i think its 1200 / Since the (FM,AM and DAB function) comes while i hold the Setup button down, no sectret menu...

The thing is its runing well no battery drain but i want the lattest firmware on it, i got 3810 on a disc will it work without getting drain problem? (car info VW Passat 3C fr. 03/05)

If so i would like to load the drain fix that is mentioned but how do i load it to my unit?

I've successfully upgraded my B unit to firmware version 2760.  When the % sign stood still for a couple of minutes, my heart did miss a beat or two, but eventually all went smooth

I have just updated my rns510 to 3810. Think it's probably wiped my hard drive, as the unit boots up fine, plays radio/music from an SD card, but asks for my navigation disc. Problem is, it doesn't seem to recognise the hard drive any more - I can't copy music from the SD to the hard drive as it is greyed out in the media screen...

Any ideas, please?

I solved this in the end - just in case someone has the same problem, I copied music from a DVD (that was the only thing that worked), and from there it allowed me to select the HDD.

updated mine to 4020, works great and i now get full audio text when using bluetooth audio.

only downside is my screen is now very dim and i can't turn it up. will investigate in the morning

Is there a link to 4020? I have 3890 at the moment with 7552 maps (how do I update the maps btw?).

[stealthwolf]

how do I update the maps btw?

You go to the dealer and buy the disc. Any other method is illegal and cannot/should not be discussed on here.

[nadlad]

Any links to 4020 software

Hi all,

On firmware 2760 I've also successfully activated VIM by using the RECODE VIM Berto89.zip update. (No firmware update, just setting the VIM to 200km/h)

I have a 1T0 035 680 B that was delivered with H03 SW 0900. Earlier today i installed the 2760 sw and now it looks like this:



From what i read this should work fine to upgrade to 3810? with 3810a_noru version of firmware?

The question is, can i after i have installed the 3810 firmware install the 4020 firmware on this one?

I have V8 map.



This looks fine maybe? http://gpsunderground.com/forum/volkswagen-seat-skoda/15903-firmware-rns-510-4020-4026-4028-4024-later-versions.html

Modified version for A and all later versions..

3810 version worked fine!





The OPS changed layout with 3810 fw :)

Hello, I'm new to the VW world.  I have a RNS510 and I'm not sure as to what version it is (A, B, C?) nor do I know what version firmware it is running.  Can I just burn the firmware update (I think it's 3680) and put the cd and run the update?  The instructions on this thread don't say if there is a sequence of updating the old firmware to the new one in order. 

Also, do I need to do any coding myself as in VAG-COM etc?  Thanks so much, so far, my 2009 Passat is amazing to drive.
