cannot find my can bus

<< < (2/2)

Well, i finally managed to get this done yesterday!

It was a bit of a pig but not too bad in the end. My canbus was buried above the accelerator pedal. Once i removed the drivers side cubby hole i could just about see a red tab poking out but it was behind a load of other stuff and i couldn't reach my hand that far back. Until i realised that some of the stuff in front of it could be unclipped. Once that was moved to one side i could tease the old gateway out and simply unplug it and plug in the new one. Not too bad in the end.

Thanks for the pointers all!

Glad its all sorted mate :smiley:

Got a question myself. Looking to purchase a RNS 510 nav Version C for my 2005 Golf mk5.

It will probably drain the battery but the seller is saying that he will update the firmware via a cd and that should prevent the battery drain. Is this possible?

If not, how much would it cost including coding for the gateway? Could i get the correct part number for the gateway?

Thanks in advance

Hi.
Yes it is possible to have RNS with such a software. Only one disadvantage - you cant upgrade the software otherwise you will get battery drain. So basically you stuck with only one SW version.

@MAH you need to contact @Eddie-NL for a new canbus. He provided me with a new one for around £70 (i think). Arrived safe and sound and once i could get to the gateway in my car it was a simple swap over.

MAH:
Cheers guys for the help

I will give Eddie a shout once I have the nav.
