Hi,
I have just bought a 59 plate Golf GTi with RNS 510 and Bluetooth/Rear Camera/Mic as standard. Was working all fine today then just recently it keeps showing the Volkswagen and dynmaudio screen for a couple of seconds and then rebooting to black screen and repeating. I can hear the fans and CD fine. I don't know what hardware is on the radio and I have tried disconnecting battery and the 3 button reset on the front still nothing. Ive been reading around and people have said maybe firmware or something.
Can anyone with any knowledge help at all as don't have a clue and want this back working! VW quoted me 120.00 just to look at it which i just can't afford right now especially after buying the car.
I have no knowledge of what firmware is on there or how to / where to get my one working again...anyone experienced the same issues? Or anyone in Midlands that could help as I need it sorted asap and don't want to spend a fortune!
The headunit is factory fitted as far as I am aware and has the original bit in the handbook
Much appreciated!

you can try a firmware update, but if that fails you need to send it to an RNS repairer

What firmware would I want to install and where would I find it or go about it?
Cheers

A vcds scan of your radio/nav unit will show you your present firmware version.
