Loving you anni, great colour choice on the ED30  :happy2:

I haven't got much to update at the moment but I recently upgraded the firmware of my RNS510 to the modified 2760 version and it all went smoothly thanks to the guide on here! :happy2:



The modified version works perfectly without any battery drain on my (I assume) K version CAN-BUS, and enables other features too such as the test menu.

I just need to obtain the v7 maps now for full 7-digit postcode search (preferably not at the cost VW charge for them!).

marka87uk:
Time for a proper update... :smiley:

I bought a US spec grill courtesy of damo666 on here, and he was even kind enough to throw in the black badge too! :happy2:

It left me thinking of what to do about the front number plate and so I decided the best method would be to use magnets as others have done.

Here's the parts ready to be assembled:



I used neodymium N42 magnets with a pull of 6.4kg. Do not do end up getting them all stuck together like I did as they are a PITA to get apart again!

Firstly I glued on the magnets to the number plate, spacing them about 11cm apart:



Then I covered them with weatherproof cloth tape which helps in keeping them secure too:



Next I held up the plate to the grill where I wanted it to go and placed the magnets on the back:



I then removed them one at a time to glue into place and finally covered them again with weatherproof tape:



And here's the finished shots!  :pomppomp:




stealthwolf:
Do you have a pic of the number plate on, especially the top view so we can see how the plate is attached to the grille?

marka87uk:
Here's a couple of the plate attached (excuse the dirtyness of the car!) - I'll take a picture from above tomorrow.

They are 5mm magnets so the plate sticks out slightly but not much; less than it would with the standard holder on anyway! :smiley:
