I want to use SDHC cards with my RNS. (version B, HW11 and current firmware 1100; canbus L). Am downloading 1200 (don't like the bugs with 26xx) which in theory should have SDHC support.
Can I use any SDHC card? Are there any brands tried'n'tested by other forumites?
What is the maximum size compatible? I read that 32GB support is available only on 26xx firmware.
-
i thought it was only on 2660 that supported SDHC. i dont know about 1200.
I would suggest buying a quality SD card like a class 5 sandisk card. Otherwise you'll be transferring music onto it at like 1mb/second. Which will take hours for 32gb of music! and it will miss tracks!
-
Which 26 did u have, did u try 2680 ?, some people get sdhc support on 1200, some don't, seems to be a HW thing
-
Which 26 did u have, did u try 2680 ?
Sorry to digress a little...where can I get 2680 and what were the bugs with 2660?
-
I didn't download either 2660 or 2680. Just spent this morning reading vwnavi.
I'd always go reputable but just wondered if there were some cards that worked. Not all cards are equal and I wouldn't expect them all to work.
I was after getting class six either 16 or 32GB cards.

on yours i would definitely go for 2680
-
im running 2660 and never had a problem. whats the beef? and whats different in 2680?
-
2660 was a beta release and 2680 is the full production version :happy2:
-
differences between 2680 and 2660 as posted by Mater
1. Firmware is a Factory Firmware Release version not a Beta
2. Reformats the HDD and updates the way it is addressed (hence the speed increase that is noticed by most ppl)
3. Better support for SDHC (now properly supports 32GB before some people had problems over 16GB cards)
4. Fixed Regensburg Syndrome. Will change back to your location within a couple of seconds (will depend on how good your antenna is and location but everyone who i have done the Upgrade for says it changes within about 2 secs.)
5. Fixed Battery drain issue
6. Correct support for MFSW
7. Correct support for Voice Control (it is hit an miss on 266X) It's now an option in the Setup menu & Voice Tag option is also an option when saving addresses
8. Fixed MP3 issue for HDD playback
9. Better response to touchscreen input
10. Different graphical displays for HDD capacity and copying to HDD
-
SOLD! to the man with the soot chucker!
-
I have still to test mine 2680 properly but initial thoughts are good, although i have had to muve the GPS antenna to get better reception
-
After mine failed the first time to update from 2660 - 2680 (disc read error), it's now all upgraded fine but everything has been reset and text currently all in German :laugh: :laugh:
Just need to reload the maps and updates the coding :happy2:

Steve, you my not need to reload map if your putting V6 map on, just insert the map disc for turning it back into english language and see if map is still on as mine was still there ? :happy2:

Thanks, why would I need VCDS? I upgraded to 2660 with no issues.
P.S. Attempting to download the file comes up with a broken link!!!

well, you may be ok but 2680 reverts your RNS to how it was when it left the factory, so any special bits added will be reset, like phone, reverse camera, soundpack etc etc

Quote from VWnavi
Concerning the need for Coding:
The RNS510 defaults back to factory standards after upgrading with a "Factory CD". This means:
- Language will be German
- Speaker setup will be 4x 20W standard setup (no Soundsystem)
- Layout will be Highline (Silver/Black/red)
- unfortunately i do not know the default Coding for the Steering Wheel and MFD. It might cause problems with the Multifunction Steering Wheel and the Multfunction Display Plus if fitted.
As you can see from the above: The radio will work with basic settings. If you have Volkswagen Sound System or Dynaudio Sound System fitted this will not work without coding. Also it might cause pre-amp problems with the dynaudio and volkswagen sound system (not sure, just read that somewhere) if not coded right.
If you have no data on ur MFD this is a coding issue resulting from the upgrade.
If all these points work the way they did before u are fine without coding! Problem is, u will not know until you try, unless u can say: i have no soundsystem installed, my skin is highline and my MFD doesnt support the RNS anyway...

Can I not go to the dealership and ask them to do the upgrade, i.e. if I complain about speed of satnav, etc.?

you could try, it might be like asking the government to reduce the duty on fuel by half though :P, on a serious note was your Nav in the car from new ?
-
Yes, RNS510 (the touch screen version) was in my car from factory.

In that case they may do the upgrade if you say you have issues , tell them your friend had same issues and the dealer put new firmware on that fixed it :happy2:

Does the battery drain fix mean earlier cars no longer need the updated can bus?
-
possibly but if you dont update the can bus the you will get coms errors with the gateway and nav/radio.
Darren :happy2:
-
Cheers, mine works so gonna leave it that way!
Well apart from a dodgy volume control lol, anyone else had any issues??
-
possibly but if you dont update the can bus the you will get coms errors with the gateway and nav/radio.
Darren :happy2:
How do I check if I have the updated CAN bus?

ah is it too big to upload? no worries mate, i think ive got V4 maps so it would be a good move for me and v6. cheers pal

Where can I download V6 maps from guys?
-
There's a few links in this thread clicky (http://vwnavi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12560)
I updated to F/W 1200, mainly for SDHC and to avoid the other issues some people are getting with a newer F/W. Alas, it didn't recognise my 32GB SDHC. Have downloaded 2680 and will flash it asap.

Why can't this be simpler... :confused:

That would be really appreciated...you wouldn't have VCDS as well would you?
P.S. Let me know if I need me to cover any costs.
-
Don't worry about costs. I have VCDS too. The problem will be meeting up because I'm at work daily for the next few weeks. Gimme a PM and we can arrange a suitable time.
