If those of you that have one don't know you can update the firmware.
The latest is Version 26XX (last 2 X's will be different depending on your model. i.e Golf is different to Passat but all firmwares are on one disc)
The download location is:

Be warned though neither i nor MK5GolfGti.co.uk will be held responsible if anything goes wrong. You undertake the firmware upgrade process at your own risk
Gives the following functionality
Voice control (requires oem Bluetooth & MFSW)
Speed limit display
Display both OPS and rear cam ( like audi)
SDHC 32 GB (dubious to this as i would imagine its Hardware related not firmware but will see when mine is done)
Switch off display
Menu for setting climatronic on screen
Clock on display when RNS/Columbus is shut down
Carl :happy2:
-
Have you done this yet Carl? :popcornsoda:
-
94% through just finishing off on the Gateway update
Will post back on here and on Briskoda when all done but fingers crossed its looking good
Carl :happy2:
-
I haven't even installed 1122 on mine....
Am I brave enough....
-
Nice one Carl. :happy2:
-
Well just got the SWL SUCCESS message so will play about now to see it all works :congrats:
Carl :happy2:
-
i doubt that climatronic would work on screen.
i think it would only work with the new climatronic on the mk6
-
thanks god im a premium user of rapidshare.
Im guna try this update and hopefully wont brick my unit.
im interested to see if the firmware change will alter the units inability to read SDHC cards. If so, BINGO!
-
Ok here are the pics for the New stuff on 2664 firmware. (VW units will prob read 2660 iirc)
I know it's Skoda but as i said all units are basically the same just coded slightly different for VW/Seat/Skoda etc

I know those with a MK2 Superb with this unit from the factory will have a lot of this but for those with 1Z0 units i'd defo recommend it.
The unit seems a lot more responsive aswell and if your wondering why the number of Satellites shown is so small the unit does that after a firmware update for some reason i now get 8/8 satellites.
As for SDHC not sure yet but as soon as i know i will update this thread
If anyone wants any help feel free to PM or ask
HTH
Carl :happy2:

Im getting my RNS510 tomorrow. Does your firmware version have to be a specific level before upgrading to this revision?
-
Nope it upgrades all firmware versions so im told
I went from 1004 - 1024 - 0904 (changed to superb unit style but still an upgrade despite the lower number) and now 2664
So in essence i upgraded from 09XX firmware to 26XX firmware with no problem
Carl :happy2:
-
Carl, good to know.
Any chance of sending me a copy of the DVD in the post if i send you a paypal donation, as Rapidshare is horrendous. It will take me 3 hours to download at this rate lol as i have just hit my download limit for the day. :scared:
Oh, does anyone have the latest maps too?
-
rapid share is well worth the 5 quid per month, i downloaded that in about 3 mins!
Right ive come to do the firmware update and i got the
invalid clamp state message.
now ive had this before and changed my 12hr clock to 24 and then it worked. but it still wont work.
maybe this is a sign to say "dont do it, youll brick your system" lol
-
Right, so I stumped up the €6.99 to download it (on a shared work connection so had to)....
What do I need to burn it with? Onto a CD or DVD?
-
Nero or similar to Burn it
It all fits on a CD just burn it at the slowest speed possible and make sure you verify it when done otherwise you may brick your unit
Carl :happy2:
-
Cd will be ok. Use nero or similar to burn it. I had to do a forced start on my update cos the unit kept telling me about the issue above. It's just running it now. It says 47 mins left. Great, I can't risk leaving the car locked in case the car shuts off the power to it

Just sit in the car with it (thats what i did) or just close the door over (not fully) the unit restarts several times so you wont hit the 1 hour limit for power anyway

Im sure you will be fine.
The only people i know to have bricked their units have tried modifying PQTABLE.FLI for maxidot issues and that is the single biggest cause of people bricking their units
Carl :happy2:
-
:signLOL: i'm still sat in the car. It has about 90% on hdd and it just went black and silent!! Great it's not done anything since
-
Oh wait wait it's woken up again. It's 25% thru radio and it's got mpeg and gateway to do yet. This is stressfull!!
-
:drinking:
Let us know when its done.

Yeah don't panic JPC
It does that a couple of times more yet :grin:
Carl:thumbup:
-
Yep live updates ha it's still on 25% for radio :s 33 mins remaining. I've only got 10% iPhone battery left too
-
God I'm not sure I can cope. I nearly threw up over the dam thing when I thought I'd bricked it haha
-

:pomppomp: Hooray :pomppomp:
-
The unit thinks I'm in wetzlar Germany now though! Can't really see any differences on my unit. Apart from the contast on the selected item. For example out of 6 silver buttons for radio stations, the selected one is black. I prefer it how it used to be haha
-
Depends how new your unit was originally.
Also thinking its in Germany is because the GPS Almanac has to be rebuilt so it will take a while to do but after about 10mins or so (as long as you have a Clear view of the Sky your Unit will update and lock on to more satellites and find it's true position
There will be features in their you didnt have and i reckon you will find it a lot quicker than before
Carl :happy2:
-
Downloading now, cheers Mater :happy2:
-
Your Welcome
Always happy to help :smiley:
Carl :happy2:
-
Just finished, slightly nerve wracking however all done.
Will checkout the new features in the daylight. :driver: :pomppomp:
-
Im still in germany! haha! im only about 200 miles from worthsee! i might stay!
-
Well i can confirm that SDHC cards now work
I just tried a 16GB Micro SDHC with an adaptor and it worked perfectly
Simples!
Carl :happy2:
-
great stuff! :)
ive left my unit on outside my unit.
Doors locked, screen off and volume off. hopefully it will find where it is before it powers itself off! ;)
-
Mine has been faultless. It was a bit sluggish to position itself on roads but that seems fine now.
The speed thing works but is in km/h. :confused:
SDHC card support is spot on and long overdue. :happy2:
:pomppomp: :jumpmove: :pomppomp:
-
Just drive around for about 10 mins.
Be aware sometimes mine on startup thinks im in Germany till it gets a signal from the satellites (but usually within 5 seconds it is back to wherever i am )
Carl :happy2:
-
The speed thing works but is in km/h. :confused:
Are you using the speed reading in the TEST menu or are you looking at the Symbol on the map display??
It should be in MPH on the map display :confused:
Carl :happy2:
-
Speed reading on map display. :confused:
-
Odd
It does MPH on mine
Have a play with it (the satnav dirty minded person :P ) and see if it changes it?
Would be a good excuse for doing 50 in a 30 and 115 on the M'Way :grin:
Blame VW and sue them :grin: :grin: :grin:
Carl :happy2:
-
Just installing Nero to burn the image to CD.

Bit nerve wracking innit?!

No pressure eh :pomppomp:

Summat like that :grin:
Overall 77%... MPEG 29%
21mins to go....

Done.....
Just rebooting.....
-
Sorted :congrats:
Can't see any differences yet lol
Although I do have the newer balance/fader options so it must have worked.
-
So how do I show the "Version Info" as seen in Carl's pics?
-
Hidden menu. Reboot the unit and as it comes up hold setup (If i remember correctly).

Don't you need to enable the hidden menu in VCDS now with the latest firmware?
-

This any good Ian?

Yes the hidden menu needs to be enabled in VCDS as follows.
1. Go to Navigation - 37
2. Click on Adaptation - 10
3. Type 50 into the channel box.
4. Change the value from 0 to 1
5. Click on test and press code
6. Exit out of VCDS.
7. Press <> and brightness to reboot the rns-510.
8. Then press setup for about 20 to 30 seconds to enable the secret menu (just keep your finger on it it will go from normal menu to radio then after about 10-15 secs to the hidden menu)
Basically you can vew info like map version software version etc. You can even see your digital speed (in KM/H) in one of the menu's but it's no different to what is displayed on the speedo

I need the V4 maps I think :(
I only have V3

Reload normal V4 Maps :wink:
Carl :happy2:
Is that an educated guess? :smiley:

Will this upgrade wipe my HDD music? Did the 1100 firmware update not so long ago and had to reload everything!!

Mine survived :)

Mine too. :pomppomp:

Nope this update retains the Map & Music
Is that an educated guess? :smiley:
Of course :stupid: :stupid:
Carl :happy2:

Can anyone tell me how to delete the last track on the HDD? There was a load of crap R&B on the system i bought, but i cant delete the very last track. Do i really need to put my own music on there first?
-
I need the V4 maps I think :(
I only have V3
i have a copy of V4 Lee with speed cams locations, can bring it to JKM with me on the RR day, just have to kick Mr Hedge in the shins to remind him to bring it with him.

Tried that. as the maps are the same on the HDD it does SFA. :sad1:
Any other suggestions? :smiley:
-
Hmmm
My V4 Maps are different. I'm sure they are 6682 and the V4 with Cams is 6684.
I used the V4 with Cams and reverted back to V4 no problem
Have you got V3? load that on then load normal V4 and just keep your eyes peeled :P

-
What is this? :confused: :signLOL:
i have recently bought a RNS and I am waiting on delivery from Germany. :sad1:
It is coming with V4 maps and 1100 firmware. Is the one that is downloadable better than this?
Thanks
-
I know. :)
76%
mpeg 33%
-
yep its newer.
it would be wise making sure if its an A version or B version.
I think it can ruin the unit if you try and flash this firmware with it.
could be wrong but its worth treading carefully and searching around a bit, with it being an expensive piece of kit
-
Just sh*t myself at 62% of gateway. The power cut, screen went off the
everything came back on. Ahhhh and again at 69%. scary sh*t.
-
yep, i was the same...as i said...i nearly threw up! haha!
-
Swl success. :)
Anyone know how long maps take to download. Doesn't seem to be anystatus on the screen.
Can I leave this running as not a danger like the firmware.
-
maps to download?!
do you mean for the car to figure out its actual GPS position?
-
No. Just updating maps to v4 :)
-
not sure about how long it takes then to be honest. my unit came with V4 maps on
-
If you press eject it tells you what it's doing with a little status bar. :)
-
Yeah mine is a version b. What is not the latest? Both of them? What benefits do you get?
:happy2:
-
dont worry ollie ive got the new firmware on disc so we'll sort it when you get to my place next week
-
Cheers darren! :happy2:
it won't break the system like jpc said will it?! :scared:
-
what extras are old 1100 users getting ?, i vowed i would never ever do another firmware on it lol
-
I think mine is a version A? It was factory fitted to a Jan/Feb 08 car.
It updated fine to the latest version 2660
-
Hedge = HM1975? Over at vwnavi.com?
HM1975 is a guy called Mark. Has a MK5GT TDi IIRC.
-
If it breaks Ollie I have firmware 1100 to revert back to which Maters advised does work. But mine had a cd/dvd error at the beggining and still worked fine :happy2:
Darren
-
When its been off for a few hours it still thinks im in Germany. Takes about 10 minutes till it realises im in the UK. :confused: Also, i cannot get the speed display for the current road to show MPH. It will only display the speed of the road im on in KMH.
-
I get the same Deako not sure how to change it to mph, Also get the german thing but mine take a couple of seconds to sort itself, although I've retro fitted the Q7 antenna so I get about 9/10 satellites out of around 12.
Darren
-
i reckon i might stick to 1100
-
OK, i lied, didnt want to be the odd one out so have done mine too LOL, all seems ok :happy2:
-
Sorry only saw this late.
This firmware updates both A and B units.
As for the speed being in KM it's because you have modified maps showing speed cameras.
HTH

Carl :happy2:
how do we change it to MPH though ?, something on the map file ?
-
Without seeing what's been added for the speed cameras I'm not sure.
It must be something to do with the data that's being added for the Speed Cam POI.
Where is the data coming from. If it is coming from a non UK source i.e. A foreign map disc that could be why.
But as I said I would need to see what files have been added.
Carl :happy2:
-
The files that get updated on the V4 disc I have with speed camera's are the CDROM.TOC and some of the POI IDX and HTML files under the tpd\ntcWeu_eu_20081110\ENG folder.
I suspend the v4 disc I have is the source of the problem not the speed camera overlay :confused:
-
I've had a few people asking me how to rig up the voice control for use with the new firmware in the RNS510. I have a similar setup in my car, known as SDS, since I bought it and it works well. This is how I've done it myself (and this one is for Hedge's little passion wagon) - perhaps a little more complicated than required but, as ever, entirely reversible come sale time.
Parts you'll need (assuming you have the 26xx firmware, OEM Bluetooth installed and MFSW) -
Female Microphone Plug x1 1J0 973 332
Male Microphone Plug x1 1J0 973 119
Repair Wire x1 000 979 019 (for Plug 1J0 973 119)
Repair Wire x1 000 979 132 (for Plug 1J0 973 332)
Repair Wire x2 000 979 009 (for Plug 3B7 035 447 B)
Repair Wire x2 000 979 009 (for Plug 3B7 035 447 B)
2 - 3m of screened cable (minimum of 4 core), some heat shrink and soldering equipment.
Connections are as follows -
Plug 3B7 035 447 B
Pin 7 = Mic In +ve
Pin 1 = Mic In -ve
Pin 9 = Mic Out +ve
Pin 4 = Mic Out -ve
The idea is to remove the plug from the microphone in the headlining and plug in one end of this replacement lead which is then run down the door pillar, to the back of the head unit and connected to the Mic In connections in the existing green plug (3B7 035 447 B). From the Mic Out connections in the green plug and back up to the microphone but this time plugging in to the cable that runs to the Bluetooth Unit. I've soldered the connections and used heat shrink to tidy it up a little.
Here is the head unit end complete (i'll post up the other end when the plugs arrive)

Has anyone else had their battery drain since upgrading to 26xx? Mine was dead this morning (cost me £100 for a new one). Just trying to determine if the issue is with my can gateway, or if its an issue with the firmware.
-
how old is your car ?
-
I've not had any battery issues yet.
Although my phone doesn't work fully now since the upgrade :chicken:

Been hearing a bit about this phone issue, have you given the coding a once over. One of the guys on Brisky has said a Blackbury thingy doesn't work properly anymore but SE and iPhone are fine - Odd.

^^^ Yep I get the same, Blackberry 8310 doesn't work on the RNS-510 screen anymore but the iPhone is spot on still :confused:
PS - Cheers for the parts list of the voice control stuff Stu :happy2:

I would be surprised if a firmware update has suddenly caused the RNS to suddenly be live all the time.
You shouldn't have needed to buy a new battery just get a decent recharger or was it completely dead. I had mine go flat when the fan kept starting of it's own accord due to water ingredd and I just used a decent battery charger for about 18hrs and it was fine.
Make sure you haven't got water ingress into the electric box in the engine bay.
Other than that can't see why else the battery would have been flattened as the ecu would have killed the power to the RNS anyway after about 60 mins
Carl :happy2:
-
Carl, thanks for the advice, but there are plenty of reports on VW Navi about earlier Can-bus controllers causing power drains when updating to RCD510 and RNS510 systems. :sad1:
-
^ think he said he would be surprised if a firmware update caused the battery fail, not the RNS install
-
^ think he said he would be surprised if a firmware update caused the battery fail, not the RNS install
And also stated that he couldnt see why the power would have been flattened.
On VW Navi, people with similar symptoms (flat battery) had also reported just updating to 26xx too. But yet to find out if actually updating the can gateway fixed the issue.
-
When you say plenty of people, how many actually have had a rns installed fir a while and have just updated and now have a drained battery ?
-
I updated a week ago and it has been as good as gold. :confused:
-

3 people on one thread. What is your problem exactly? Im not saying its directly related to the firmware, but the Can gateway, its just co-incidence that those people have also updated to 26xx.
Im not sure if you genuinely seem to think you are trying to be helpful, but from my perspective its like you are trolling my posts.
-
Think he may have misunderstood your post and is asking if it's a problem with replacing the unit for the RNS510.
Have you got any fault codes on VCDS? Reason I ask is because when my Fan was draining the Battery it logged a fault on VCDS.
If not try going to the 11XX firmware and see if you still have the same problem.
Oh and Halfords are doing a fairly decent battery charger for £38 at the moment. Might be worth getting one as it also does maintenance.
Can't think of anything else at the moment that could be the issue.
HTH
Carl :happy2:

I recently updated from version A to version B (fw1100) iirc. Im not sure im seeing any further functionality with this new firmwear update??
Is it worth doing it?? and if its not successful can you go back to 1100??
Currently running v4 maps but without speed camers.
thx

Carl, i dont have 1100. But i am confident the issue i am having with battery drain is with the Can gateway revision i have in my car. I do not have VCDS.
-
The CAN gateway issue has been around for months with this upgrade - I read a lot about it when looking at the options for putting a RNS510 in my car - I'd say its pretty much a dead cert thats your problem and not the firmware :smiley:
-
Just had a thought
Didnt you say you had bought a dual antenna adaptor thingymajig from VW?
If you did could this be causing a problem and making the Radio Permanently live hence causing the CAN gateway to be faulty?
Not saying that is the solution just a thought
Carl :happy2:
-
No, i didnt bother. Just took the Fakra adapter apart and fitted the metal connector straight on.
I have downgraded FW to 1100. Lots of people reporting power drain issues on cars with the 2600 FW. Must be an issue with earlier CAN Gateways and later firmware.

The original source disk is whats causing the problem. You could reinstall V3 or a non-speed camera POI V4 and that should fix it. (I think) or just remember that 1km=5/8mile. :ashamed:

Hi i'm new here, got directed from another forum i'm on. Ive tried everything to get the new fw on my rns510 but the unit wont recognise the discs, ive gone through about 10discs ha. I was wondering if anybody could send me in the post a copy of this fw, the fw that you need if you brick it and a copy of maps? I'd obviously pay you for your troubles via paypal, and also after retrofitting my rns510 the mfsw buttons wont operate it and i get no info in my MFD anymore. Anybody know why? Thanks
-
^^^ Has your RNS-510 been coded to the car with VCDS or the dealer tool?
If not then this is probably why is it's working with the MFSW or MFD. :smiley:

Regards the firmware just Check the Seals and as long as they are intact you should be fine
Carl :happy2:

Just like to confirm that rolling back my firmware has resolved my flat battery issue. At some stage i will update the CAN Gateway and update the firmware. But there definitely appears to be an incompatibility with the latest firmware and earlier CAN Gateways.

Big thx to Mater!!! I updated yesterday and everything went well. Lookingforward to using the unit later today :drinking:
Just incase anyone is wondering I updated from original version A to the fw1100 (version B) and the this latest update to a version c and everything went well.

It does show okay unless you have the maps with speed cams, if you just have normal V4 maps then it should be okay, Ive just gone from V4 maps with cams to V5 maps normal and its fine now.

how much did the s version cost and was it easy to do?
do you thing that with the highline clocks that we retro fitted that there is a way of successfully upgrading the convenience module :confused:
cheers pal
scott
-
Every thing is upgradable its just the costs involved :evilgrin: I had the 2660 F/W for about 3 weeks with no problems whatsoever but I never left my car for more than 12 hours at a time?
The S version from VW was £130 and no it wasn't easy although strange cos when I changed Ollie288 his was in front of the ash tray where has mine was in the most stupid place imaginable!!! right up behind the foot pedals I could only get 1 hand to it and that was a squeese.
Ive been searching for the right comfort module and im trying to look for one with AT/CC I think mine is AK once that is upgraded ill have full control over the highline with the conveinence menu.

Darren was it just a straight swap of the s version or did you have to code anything?
i would love to have all functions over the highline,let me know when you are attempting it and how you are getting on.
how are you getting on with your xenons?
cheers
scott.
-
Hi Scott the gateway needed coding but its very easy you just tick all the equipment on your car, you cannot go by the old gateway cos the new one is totally different on the long coding...Once I find a comfort module ill let you know.
Im awaiting a ballast for one of my xenons due to one not working other than that Ive got the adapter looms from kufatec.de and there was also a broken tab on the top of one of the lights so ive plastic welded that but you carnt see it cos its under the front carrier they should be in next week hopefully :party:

The seals on the unit?
I'm unsure on weather to update mine. Its a second hand "off the back of a lorry" version B unit. I also think I may have the old gateway (07 reg).
-
The unit has a couple of security seals on it.
If it was factory fitted they will be intact or if it came froma legitimate source.
If it "fell' out of someone's dash board whilst they were asleep then it will have had the back opened up to Solder the EEPROM to reset the Security code. These units can't be updated as they brick when reaching 10% of the Can Gateway upgrade part of the Firmware flash.
Carl :happy2:

If you open the unit up you will quite clearly see the solder on the EEPROM
See here :
EEPROM Solder (http://vwnavi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=44265&highlight=Soldered+EEPROM#post44265)
The guy that took those bricked his unit when updating to 2664 firmware (Same as 2660 just Skoda is 2664) and when we did some investigating this is what we found.
Carl:thumbup:
-
Ok so just to check I;'ve got this right:
To update firmware:
I burn file to a cd, verify.
Insert cd into rns, (turn on 1st, keep keys out of ignition)
Wait
Job done???
Is the above right?
-
That's right, mate! Updated my firmware without issue - was a doddle!
-
Is there a link to an alternate host other than rapidshare chaps? :ashamed:
Thanks :smiley:

Is there an upgrade firmware for 2880 or later?

The Latest which I have on mine is 2720 just a bug fix for 2680 and again abit more faster start up,

So I installed my RNS510 by torch light on friday night :stupid: And I have currently not had an issue with battery drain, the longest ive left my car is 19 hours, can I assume I dont have an issue or should I be keeping an eye on it still?
From what I read on mygti http://www.my-gti.com/1101 (http://www.my-gti.com/1101) I shouldnt have an issue with drain if my firmware is lower than 2660, is this true?
I have the following RNS510 fw version and can gateway info from VCDS:
fw 0900
Address 19: CAN Gateway Labels: 1K0-907-530.lbl
Part No SW: 1K0 907 530 F HW: 1K0 907 951

Coding: 7F3F0340070003
Shop #: WSC 01279 785 00200
Can anyone help put my mind at rest?
-
With a gateway of 1K0 907 530 F don't go above version 1100 of the firmware
-
Thanks for the reply Camel, its been sat without starting the engine now since Sunday so feeling much happier, although good to know that you and darren both think I will be alright. Will eventually replace the gateway once I have bluetooth and microphone installed, but for the moment going to get used to my 900 firmware as it has all the features 1100 states and I belive HW03 units dont get SDHC support with 1200.
-
mmmm :happy2: ive got HW02 and sdhc 8gb card works fine although you have to format the sd card every time you put somerhing new onto the rns? Otherwise it says sd card error??
But when i put this new rns in i put about 550 tracks on at once and it was fine.
:happy2:
-
transferring 500 tracks in one go is the stuff of dreams! :laugh: Will have to pony up the cash for a new can gateway but will have to wait till next month at least :sad1:

^ How longs it take to complete that copy process Darren?
It takes about 3 minutes for one 6mb mp3 on mine without the FW update :sad1:
-
Thats a long time Pete, even with a 1gig card I could manage quicker than that, think about an album in 4-5 minutes (10-12 tracks) might be the read speed of your SD card as these can vary alot depending on the chips used, might be worth trying a different card if you have one?
-
On mine it took about 30 mins :confused: but I was actually listening to stuff on the HDD at the time while I was working on the car :happy2:
If you are coping put it on the radio so it takes the stress off the hdd and sd card.

Thought I'd take the gamble...
The update definitely makes the unit faster and more responsive than the 1200 or 2600 firmware counterparts.
Plus, the update retains all your previous music, settings, sat nav favourites, etc. Result!!! :happy2:
P.S. My unit took 40 mins to complete the update.
-
Yep, did mine the other week and can confirm that it is a lot faster than it was with the 2600 firmware, quick install and didn't delete any of my saved music etc. Slightly annoyed that this update still hasn't resolved the Skoda bluetooth issue though, works fine with my iPhone but not my Blackberry, just like it did with the 2600 firmware.
-
What's the Skoda bluetooth issue?
-
The Skoda UHV bluetooth 1Z0 035 729 B (1Z0035729B) has an issue with RNS 510 firmware 2600 and above, with some phones it no longer displays the phone book and/or the call details although signal strength etc are visible for some phones. However, the MFD functions as per normal with phone book and last calls listed correctly, so it's not the end of the world. My Blackberry 8310 worked fine with firmware 1200 and below but it only partially works with any firmware above this (ie 2600 and above). However my Iphone 3G works perfectly with any version of firmware. Apparently this is not a problem with the 1Z0 035 729 D (1Z0035729D) Skoda UHV bluetooth kit and I hear that Android 2.1 phones work fine with the update.
-
Have you tried updating the firmware on the Kufatec kit? What version do you have at the moment?
-
It's not a Kufatec kit, it's a Skoda unit that I got from vrStu. This is a known issue with the Skoda bluetooth version B units and 2600+ firmware on the RNS 510.
-
Ahh right...I thought I was on to something - no worries. Hope you get it sorted.
-
Cheers, shame it affects the BB as that is my work phone so it gets used much more than the iPhone (which works perfectly with this firmware).

Yes, the last version that doesn't suffer from battery drain with older gateways is 1200
A new gateway is around £140

Though you can pick them up cheaper on eBay from reputable sellers such as this one... [ebay]180492875465[/ebay]

The Skoda UHV bluetooth 1Z0 035 729 B (1Z0035729B) has an issue with RNS 510 firmware 2600 and above, with some phones it no longer displays the phone book and/or the call details although signal strength etc are visible for some phones. However, the MFD functions as per normal with phone book and last calls listed correctly, so it's not the end of the world. My Blackberry 8310 worked fine with firmware 1200 and below but it only partially works with any firmware above this (ie 2600 and above). However my Iphone 3G works perfectly with any version of firmware. Apparently this is not a problem with the 1Z0 035 729 D (1Z0035729D) Skoda UHV bluetooth kit and I hear that Android 2.1 phones work fine with the update.
As above, mine works fine with Iphone but doesn't display phone book etc on Nokia E51!
Also, there is a greyed out bluetooth logo on the media menu. Is this supposed to work with an iphone? It would be good if it did. :happy2:

Ok - been reading this and other posts about RNS510, Gateway and firware.
I bought and fitted a RNS510B bought via Ebay and everyhing works - display on MFD and buttons on steering wheel - and coded and cleared all faults via VAG COM.
I have got the following according to VAG COM scan:
RNS-MID
IT0035680B
HW H74
SW 1100
I have a new gateway to fit (mine is a "K") - I think it is behind the relays - how the hell do I get at it to change it?? I have VAG COM to recode it.
Can I update firmware to the latest in one go i.e. from 100 to 2760 or do I have to got to 2660 first?
When I connect my ipod to the lead in the glovebox the sound is not very good - kind of distorted, is this the lead swap fix on the plug I have read about?
I am concerned that one of the seals seams to have been cut but the other is intact - does this mean a firmware upgrade is likely to brick it.
sorry for so many questions but I am worried about cocking it all up
any advice greatfully received :happy2:

A K gateway may work with newer firmware
Normally its either behind the ash tray or above the pedals - pray for the first location as above the peddles is a pain in the rear
Looks like you have a B version, it won't allow you to go onto 27xx unless you use the custom firmware over at vwnavi.com
Did you get a security code card, if not then it may have been opened to reset the code, this might mean that you will turn it into a brick when trying to update the firmware :scared:
-
thaks for the answers
I did get a code which I put in when first connecting and it all worked - does this mean it probably hasn't been hacked
As I said I have the later Gateway and I'm sure its behind the relays above the pedels :scared:
Custom firmware ??? - I am downloading 2720_all_v1 now if thats the one you mean
-
I`d wait and see if you have ANY problems as I`m running the 26XX firmware on a can gateway "F" and I`ve HAD NO problems YET ....
Mr. Hedge has got the details of it if any one want`s them ...
:happy2:

Did someone call? Now what am I supposed to have done? :confused:

As long as the code wasn't 1234 then signs are it hasn't been hacked
Forget what I was saying about B and 27xx, It will work on B's and C's just not A versions :ashamed:

Those of you who have installed this, how long did it actually take?
How did you do it, on a long journey or leave the ignition active with the engine off? :ashamed:
Ta.
-
Takes around and hour and the car has to be stationary with the keys out of the ignition for the whole time - make sure your battery is in good shape beforehand
-
Loading the firmware is the hard part since you sit there like a muppet and scare yourself silly because at certain points, you think it has frozen.
If the firmware is a factory upgrade, it will wipe the HDD completely, including the maps. The maps need to be reinstalled but this can be done whilst driving around normally. This also takes at least 30 mins.

^ :signLOL: too true SW, it's that fatal click sound when the screen powers off :scared:
Is this now the latest FW version fellas?
http://www.my-gti.com/2291/volkswagen-rns-510-firmware-upgrade-to-version-2760-2762-2764-2766-2768
I might apply it if so to fix my MDI USB problem :ashamed:
-
276x is the latest one thats lurking around the internet. 2800 should be now available if any one can find it

Hi TonyZ
Yes mate i have the greyed out bluetooth icon on the media screen, i'm using 729B i believe audio transfer via bluetooth A2DP is only compatable with 729 D but then still has loads of bugs if you read vwnavi and google search it its quite hard to get working.

Anyone know how to tell what version unit you have?
Mine shows in VCDS as:
Part No SW: 1T0 035 680 C HW: 1T0 035 680 A
So is this an A or a C version?? It was sold to me as a C.
I've been trying to sort out an issue with the MFSW buttons not working and want to update to 2760 but the SWL keeps failing on initialisation and reverts to 2680 firmware.
I've tried every combination in VCDS to try to get the buttons to function under the audio menu (works fine on all other menus, eg MFD) and have disabled and enabled MFSW in VCDS too (rebooting RNS 510 after each change..ugh). I am fairly sure it's the firmware causing it to not work...
Relevant info: 2008 MkV Golf R32, L Gateway, red dot full height display, RNS 510 running firmware 2680, MFSW with one phone button, star and volume controls on the left and up/down, menu and OK on the right ones.
-
That looks like a version A that's already had a recent firmware update.
What firmware is it showing under VCDS?
It soun like it's running a modified skoda firmware, have you tried the latest 2720?
-
Thanks for the quick reply. I though that it was an A version when I read that. I am not really happy considering that it was advertised as a C version.
Anyway, it's definitely 2680 firmware that it's running. I tried to update to 2760 but it won't load. It reads the discs fine, I've burnt several on different settings and verified every time, but it gets to starting loading the new firmware and comes up with an error and reverts to the 2680 firmware. I have considered popping in a hacked version of the firmware (by a chap going by the nick of Josi) that should work on an A unit. Just not sure whether I should take the risk or not...
-
You can't update an A Version past 268X
272X onwards does NOT support A version units.
The only way you can get 272X on there is to use Josi's firmware. It works fine as i have it installed on Both of my MFD3's in my Octavia's which are both A versions
Just make sure you download the VW version not the Skoda version. This should then fix the Issue's with your MFSW. If not then the MFSW is incorrectly coded.
-
Thanks guys! I took the plunge and used Josi's modified firmware and it all works like it should now. One happy camper....now to start the bluetooth install and reverse camera retrofit (not looking forward to the work involved in the last one, though!) :drinking:
-
Has anyone worked out how to get the DVD video in motion hack to work with the latest firmware?
-
It cannot be done Mojo even UV Worldwide cannot do the hack for it... :confused: best bet would be to buy the VIM module from ebay or Kufatec.

EDIT: I take it Josi's modified FW is the one that is in 4 parts on the MY GTI website?

i have the Info button,
my RNS 510 is orignel VW
can i copy the MAP V8 with this firmware?
-
Sounds like version B. Think version C had a star and version A had a moon symbol.
V8 maps should be fine. Will probably need to update firmware first.
