MODS - please move if in the wrong section - thanks.
Morning guys,
with the crappy weather this weekend, im resigned to staying in. Thought i might as well do some car admin and update the firmware and maps on the RNS510.
I have an RNS-510 Version C. Using the secret menu, this is the current state of play:
SW- 2760
HW-H43
Maps
Western Europe
Navteq
7343
I look to update the firmware first. Im i ok to jump straight to the latest firmware - which i believe to be 4210? any reliable links please?
I've read there is a small risk of bricking the unit. If this happens, what can i do?
Others have mentioned that when the firmware is updated, it wipes the existing maps - my unit came with maps pre loaded so i guess i will have to update the maps!
with the maps, i believe the latest maps are V9. which version is the latest one with which displays speed/redlight cameras?
Sorry for all the questions!! Im quite nervous about doing this and i bloody work in IT!!
Thanks
Richard

If you go from a 2*** to a 3*** , or from a 3*** to a 4*** fw you will lose the maps and music.
First check what canbus you have to prevent yourself from the battery drain.
I would update to a version 3*** first and then to a 4*** just to be safe.
V9 Maps is 7920 which has speed cams and red lights.
