Title: RNS 510 C & Can Gateway Upgrade
Post by: Kalpsn2000 on January 10, 2011, 05:22:20 pm

I have been reading the sat nav & car audio section over the past week for info on a RNS upgrade. My car is 2007 56 plate so understand it is borderline with the can gateway version that avoids battery drain.

I have decided that I want the latest RNS 510 version (C with LED) and want to update the firmware/maps without the battery drain worry.

Therefore I am looking to upgrade the can gateway either first or at the same time as fitting the RNS.

Have seen this on the bay:

Looks like the latest gateway available, is this ok?

I would then need one of the many helpful guys on this forum with VCDS to help me fit it/them.

Yes that gateway is fine for the upgrade. As you rightly said one of the most recent.

I used AF when I fitted my LED RNS in my 2005 car and am using v7 maps and firmware 2760 :happy2:

Really useful that post because if it is the most recent then they are half the price of what a dealer would charge you.

So its definately the right one?

100% the right one mate.

Although there are many others that would be ok too.
