Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Hi All,

    Need some help.

    Tried updating firmware on my RNS510 to v4120 but it failed about 51% of way through. Now have no radio etc. Looking for help on getting another copy/or loading of the 4120 software so I can finish the update.
    Have rebooted but requires the installation to complete before I can get back to normal use.

    Regards,

    Shayne

    • Thanks HB.

      Not sure on exact version, however it is from a 2010 passat so assumed it would be ok. Tried the secret menu but never got passed the radio menu.

      Hopefully I haven't bricked it!

      • Ok heart palpitations have been averted. Downloaded and loaded the fix and all working. Thanks HB!

        New problem is that everything is in German. Even when I go to the system menu and choose English it remains in German.

        • Load the map....then select "English" as language.

          • Thanks FJ, tried that but it didn't give me an option to select language during or after it had loaded.

            • I can now interrogate the unit by holding the setup button and have discovered my h/w version is 0006. So I may try to upgrade to 52xx firmware and see if I have more luck. Although the minimum burn speed my laptop will do is 10x which I believe may cause issues...hmmmm dilemma's.

              Nevertheless thanks to all the tireless efforts of those that post the information and provide advice. Muchly appreciated!

                -I thought the H/W version relevant to the latest version firmware you can run ends in a letter... but I think radio HW 0006 is usually in the later LED units ... C+ so should be OK

                Same here, minimum 10x write speed, common in the newer CD burners/Cd media. I wouldn't worry about it, I never had a problem with it using IMGburn.

                • Thanks YL, I am in the process of loading it onto dvd-rw (due to size) now. Fingers crossed it goes smoother than the 4120 upgrade.

                      The software lets you select that, however the burner itself sets the minimum speed. You will request 1x and receive the lowest available, usually 16x these days...

                                Unless you have a very new unit with DAB+ I wouldnt use it as you could brick the unit

                                The 5238 on here is probably the latest you should use What version is your unit

                                4120 is Ok and there is no reason to go higher as there are no obvious improvements in 5238
