Title: Rns510 only has 4 digit postcode after service?
Post by: heavyd on March 10, 2011, 03:20:52 pm: I had updated the fw to 2760 no battery drain, and had v7 maps on. All worked fine. Had the car in for a service, now I only have 4 digit postcodes avail. I went into setup, and it says fw is still 2760, and the map is version 7377. Has anyone any idea what has happened?
Thanks in advance :wink:

Try soft resetting the RNS. hold down <> and (i) together for 5 secs to reboot.

definately a reflash then. Its probs becuase you had a nodrain firmware, it wouldve flagged as out of date

Post by: heavyd on March 11, 2011, 11:45:47 am: It wouldnt let me update the FW as it says the current version is the same. I put the v7 map dvd in, and nothing came up on screen. I went to enter a postcode in with the map dvd in the drive, and the 6 digit postcode appeared.
I shut the rns down, ejected the dvd. entered another postocde, and the 6 digit option reappeared????
Very strange, but glad its working properly again. my car is definetly cursed!
