Hi Guys
Im looking to update the firmware on my RNS 510 and have realised that in doing so i will loose my European maps, as my unit didn't come with any DVD is there any way I can backup the maps to a sd card before I update the firmware?
-
Not all firmwares remove the maps.
272x doesn't for definate. Pretty sure 268x & 276x don't either.
What version is your RNS
-
You advised me on another post to go for 2760. I'm on veer c. Cheers

If you have a version C RNS it should upgrade fine.
Just ensure you have a genuine unit. Check the security seals and if they are intact you will be fine to upgrade. If they are not you risk bricking the device as it may have had it's EEPROM soldered to reset the security code :happy2:
-
Be careful I have seen units that still have the seals intact and still brick
All the sellers are doing is replacing the seals with photocopied ones on stickers and cutting the stickers to size, they do look good but you can tell just by running your finger over them...genuine ones will be very thin and feel quite smooth over the edges where has copied ones will have a pronounced lip cos the sticker is quite thick.

Just tried installing firmware 2760 and I get a software error at the start of the installation, ive tried burning to a dvd and a cd both have the same issue. Is there a certain type of disk I need to use, or maybe you cant install version 2760 on firmware 2680, anyone had similar problems?
-
I installed 2760 onto 1024 firmware so I can't see why not :confused: Have you downloaded the correct firmware? Not one modified for an octavia?
Just checking :smiley:
-

-
thanks, but which one if you have the K gateway?
-
Sorry should have said K or above.
The first one is what you want if you have a K or above gateway :happy2:

if your upgrading the firmware then might be an oppertunity to download new maps (i think were on V6 now) and then insert speed camera POI's
i did it, was a doddle and its really helpful in the long run. if you wanna do it you will need:
this guide - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2092.0
and...
a subscription to these guys for you POI's - http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/
I have some proper OEM look image files which are loads better than the crap ones people have made (if i do say so myself lol)
-
Help, I've just installed the update 2760, all seemed to go ok but now my satnav dosent work, no visible satellites.
-
Leave it on for about 10 mins as the firmwares sometimes delete the Satnav Almanac (directory of where they are in the sky) and it can take 10-15 mins for it to rebuild. Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky.
-
Thanks Carl, i had to put the gps arial on the dash for 10 mins and it started to work, I think I need to find a better location for my arial.
pat15312 thanks for the links, do you know any where I can get a maps cd, ive got v6 maps installed but no disk. Also with the camera poi's I believe it dosent worn you when your approaching a camera, if so is it really any use?
-
Checked the car this morning and I still have the dreaded regensburg syndrome,voice control also still dosen't work. Any other ideas?

Hi guys.
I installed 2760 firmware on my RNS and since then I cannot update the maps?!? I insert the new version cd, I confirm "Continue" and then it freeze to "Please wait". I tried to restart the system, I tried different cd's and versions, but all the same.
With the previous SW version I've been always asked if to save the new version or it's only for temporary use.
I'll be gratefull if someone can help me with an advice.

2760 No Battery Drain (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VD5REKW1)
Does this mean that you dont need a new can gateway and the battery drain issue is fixed by firmware???

In 99% of cases yes :happy2:

Hi Guys
update on my regensburg syndrome problem, just took my car to VW today and they have uploaded an older firmware, not sure which one as I no longer have the hidden men, but this has fixed the issue. i'm guessing its 1100 as no sdhc support anymore, but at least the satnav is working now.
