Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[Guest001]

Just a quick follow up guys.

The dealership I bought my car from is telling me that I already have the latest maps and that everything is up to date.

They also told me they updated the headunit software, but they've indicated they flashed the version I already had.

This obviously flies in the face of what you guys have said. I just wanted to check with you all as I don't really trust my dealership :/

Thanks in advance for any help

Hold the setup button in until a screen comes up with "Version information" on it Press that

Take a picture of it and post it on here.

Then we can tell you what you have.

The latest firmware on here is modified to give different partitions for more music so wont be added by any dealer.

If you have an SSD based unit with 6000 series firmware on it, do not downgrade to 5238.
I will eventually get around to modifying and uploading an image for these units.

Is there a download of the 6xxx firmware somewhere?

[kamold]

There is on gpsunderground but I haven't modified it yet with custom partition ratios etc

Hi all, first of all - many thanks for the detailed data on updating firmware for the RNS 510. Went through about 8 CDs, and DVD's before it finally recognised a properly burned iso. After the update I've noticed that I'm now missing the Nav and Audio pages on my MFA however. A quick google search suggests I need to recode via VCDS in order to get the data back.

Should I take it to the dealer to get this done??

Dealers generally don't have VCDS.

Thanks for the heads up, the MFA has come to life after I restarted the car this afternoon.

Joined up to the site to say thank you to Kamold for the great information and help! The fw update managed to solve my bluetooth issues where I could see track names, but not hear anything. It would only work when it was streaming all sound without track names. Thanks again!

Ditto for me was well, thanks to the OP for putting all the info together and making the firmware available.

I have an early RNS510 HW04 SW2680 witch I installed 9w7 bluetooth mod. Was having the same issues at the last poster keno.

All sorted with the new firmware

Anybody know if you can turn off the bluetooth connected tone when you start your car?

It's frustrating when something interesting is on the radio, and then you hear the bluetooth tone, and then a delay of 5 seconds or so before you get audio again.

What Bluetooth connection tone? I don't hear anything, so I guess it's possible. My setup is RNS-510 with 9W7 bluetooth module.

Bit of an odd request here, I was forced to update my unit to the 523x firmware listed about recently. Reason being the unit was stuck in a boot loop related to a dodgy mp3. What the 523x update did was of course repartition my stock hard drive and have me lost all my music, stopping the problem with the unit booting onto the dodgy mp3. So, don't ask but the offending mp3 made its way on my hard drive again and once more I'm in the loop. No worries I think, lets reinstall the 523x firmware and it will reset, thing is as the hard drive is already repartitioned I'm not wiping the mp3s this time and I'm still stuck in the loop (All I get is the VW logo, a bit of music and then a crash back and reboot).

Sooooo, I'm just after an older version of stock firmware that will work with my 2012 Passat basically... Are there any about? Or alternately a button combo that will wipe everything?

[Guest001]

Top left two and right one all at once resets it You could format the drive and start again That would fix it. Did you reload your music after losing it

Hi mate - you need to make a FORMAT DISK which will wipe the mp3 HDD and/or MAPS partitions .. no need to redo the firmware. Then you can reinstall the maps and mp3 as required.

The use imgburn to burn it as a UDF disc (not iso966)

Good luck
