Cool. Where did you get the files from?

Does anyone else's RNS510 always start up zoomed out to 300 miles or something daft?  It doesn't remember it when I change it to 0.1 miles or what ever.  Frustrating!

It's a known firmware bug that happens with some radios, not all. It happened more with 5238 and supposedly it was corrected in the 5274 and newer versions. I have that happening, but not as bad as 300 miles, sporadically with mine that are 5274 (P revision) and 6276 (R revision). Fortunately it's rare.

Same but not my new MacBook no longer has a built-in DVD drive to burn the Dual-Layer disc. Was hoping the SD card was a successful option as when I first tried it 3 years ago it didn't work very well and I went back to DVDs.

You still need a DVD with the maps when you use the SD card method. It just reads a few files from the DVD, instead of reading the whole thing. :\

On the eBay listings for this most of the discs include RNS software version 5238 - is it important to update to this before you update the maps?
My RNS has software version 6270 on it .

Really need the update because I ended up getting lost on the way to AKS tuning because of new roads missing from the maps!

Interesting.  I had no troubles burning discs with my Mac Mini using OSX 10 High Sierra Cosworth, or whatever it's called now.

I did bork one disc by following instructions online doing through the Finder, but in the end I just right clicked the iso image on my desktop and clicked 'Burn'.   Seemed to work perfectly.  RNS happy with the disc.

That.

People ARE helpful on here.......but in order to provide this service - DVD R DLs have to be purchased, hours sat a computer burning them, buying bend proof packaging materials, posting them out at lunchtimes etc.   So because you're not prepared to spend £15, you expect others to do all that for you, for free?  Doesn't work that way.

Think I've saved more than a few people good money on information
Learnt the hard way from spending money on bits & pieces
ABS pumps, pretty know all there is on them now - revisions, compatibility and wiring differences
door controllers, climatronic panel upgrades with info, radio upgrades - spent time doing pdf diagrams (now deleted)
Plus loads more useful info that & contacts that is probably useful.
Research, time, experiments... all costs money and headaches.... no matter,  live and learn, live and learn!

Hi, just been reading this post and thought it's the right place to ask where to get a working map update from ? I bought a disc from someone I've had discs from before for a Mitsubishi a few years ago ( which worked) . After putting the disc in I got a message saying disc was not recognised, so I bought another disc to update the software version to 5238, which loaded no problem, I then tried the maps again, but still not recognised ! The disc itself looks like a jvc, so not the best . The trouble is now I have lost all my music and existing maps on the hard drive. Can anyone point me in the right direction, any help would be greatly appreciated  :happy2:
