Does the RNS510 hum/buzz after use??

(1/2) > >>

Mako V12V:
YAY! Just had my RNS510 installed today at VW Blackburn. Took them an hour and a half!! Anyway, the charge was as per quoted at £55 incl vat so am happy with that  :happy2:

Question - after the units first use from the VW garage to home and after turning the unit off and the car's engine, I noticed a quiet humming noise from the unit. Is this normal? I sat in the car for a few minutes but it carried on. I then left the car for an hour and when i came back all was quiet. It's since done it again. Is it cooling itself down?

I'm not overly concerned except for the posting about a newly fitted RNS510 flattening a battery - could the unit be using battery charge after everything is switched off?

Cheers - Phil

Yeh it will whur away for a while. It doesn't turn itself straight off in case you return to your car after a short period

QD MBE:
It has a cooling fan built into the rear of the set.  It is normal for the fan to remain on cooling the set after use.  It will shut down after a few mins.

Oli:
Phil, where did you buy the rns 510 from if you don't mind me asking??

stealthwolf:
The satnav, when first started, takes ages to startup and be useable. If you get out and return to the car within twenty minutes, it will be ready to use straight away. After twenty minutes, you have to wait for it to load again. Bit like sleep mode and bootup in a computer.
