Hey guys,
This is an amusing, but quite annoying problem that cropped up last week.
It seems like my rns 510 crashed last thursday night. When i started my car the next morning, the display read like it was "stuck" on an mp3 track on the hard drive, with no sound, or ability to switch tracks, or even modes or menus. I turned the car off, removed the key and waited a few seconds.
When I started it up again, the menus had defaulted to German. Although I dont know how to read German, I did remember the the positions of the menus, so was able to find my way into the system menu, and the language selection option. However, if I select English, or even "automatic" the menu text will change to english, but the screen will display "loading desired language" then get stuck on "cannot load desired language".
There is a cancel option on the screen, but it wont work. The only way to get out of this is to use the 3 button reset (RW, FF and star i think) to reset the RNS unit. It will then default back to German.
In addition to being stuck in German, a more pressing issue is the fact that a large number of the RNS functions dont work at all now. For example -
- the Reverse camera doesn't work at all. Mechanically I can hear it open in the tailgate, but no image displays on the RNS 510.
- no audio works at all. Mp3s from the units hard drive, mp3s from a SD card, even aux input produce no sound whatsoever. I haven't tried a CD or DVD but imagine it will be the same story.
- Radio doesn't work at all.
- Navigation does work (in German) and I get a map display, but navigation directions no longer show up on the MFD between the tacho and the speedo. Additionally, audio information no longer shows up on the MFD either.
Needless to say, Ive got a warranty service booked in for the Friday. The car is fairly new, bought last may, with around 8100kms on the clock.
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues?
Will let you know what the resolution is, regardless.
cheers
