Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[Programme]

Hello all,

I have been reading up on firmware and map upgrades and not sure if I've got it all correct.

The RNS-510 version I have is 1T0 035 680 B, HW: H11 and SW: 1200 (from the sticker on top of the unit itself).

Would it be correct in saying that upgrading to firmware 3970 and v5.0 maps as linked here would be unlikely to be problematic or require recoding? Would there be another firmware/maps version that would be more suitable?

Thanks!

Definitely a good step up to try first and see how it goes.

At this stage, you'd only miss out on radio text which is contained in the higher FW.

3950 should be fine, beyond that I'd be more cautious since you have a B unit.

If you have VCDS then save a backup of coding for the sake of it.

Thanks for the replies.

No VCDS, so I'll probably have to wing it and hope for the best!

Hi all,

Would really appreciate help in upgrading RNS510 from FW3970 to 4210 (including GPS maps V5).
I have a few added options to my car; park assist 2, optical parking sensors, auto drive/driver assist, climate control, bluetooth audio streaming and bluetooth mobile.
I understand the steps involved but would appreciate if someone with VCDS (HEX CAN cable) in Hills District, Blacktown, Pennant Hills area could help with this?

Thanks a lot, in advance!

There's a special 'VCDS' forum where you can ask for help; more likely to get a response.

I just did this upgrade on my 1TO 035 680 B unit tonight. Went flawlessly, took about 45 minutes.

Has anyone noticed with the new firmware (that gives radio text) that radio reception is sometimes not as good (i.e. you get some static as well while listening)?

[zei20t]

no not on mine. its the same.

maybe your booster has died? assuming they have a booster.

First of all many thanks to kamold and aussletig for all their hard work on making this happen!!

Completed firmware upgrade yesterday and all is good..... also added POIs. Everything works including VIM.
The only difference is there is still the female voice for navigations...any clues how to change this to the male voice?

Newest FW on P units is 5230 - I have not used it properly to see any major differences
Has anyone seen a write up on this somewhere?

Would have to say no fricken difference whatsoever from FW 4120

[Sammy125TDi]

Ok,

So i've attempted to upgrade to FW 4120 and ended up having to use the SWL recovery disc to get the unit to wake up.

Its now working after re-coding with VCDS to get my RVC and MFD working, however I still have no voice guidance in navigation and the unit is stuck in German language, it tries to load english (background text switches to english, then fails and reverts to German) but no love.

Anyone able to assist me ?
