Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

Thanks for the reply, looks like I will stick with SW5238 and the live traffic app.

Read reply 497 about running 5238

[Fire 76]

SW 5238 was preinstalled in my car by VW, but I don't think it has either a working Digital or TMC Tuner on board.

It definately won't have a dab tuner. TMC is transmitted over fm. So you have the hardware, but we don't have the decryption key installed to be able to use the service that is provided in Australia only on a licensed basis.
VWA choose not to pay SuNa for this service, so we cannot use it

[Fire 76]

Disappointing that you have the TMC hardware but can't use it because VWA won't pay the licence fee.
I will not buy V7 maps unless they include the Suna licence fee, so it looks like I won't be buying it.
Hopefully will it be included in V8 maps?
I hope so VWA.

I wouldn't count on it. I would suggest that it will never be offered. (on the RNS 510 or similar)

More likely in future Dash units options such as Google traffic will be considered, just not anytime soon.

I'm trying to put an H60 Skoda Columbus in my 2008 Octavia (it has an upgraded Canbus gateway). All seems to work ok, except the steering wheel buttons aren't working. I saw mention of this issue for the 28xx series firmware here

Volkswagen RNS 510 Firmware Upgrade to version 2680 / 2682 / 2684 / 2686 / 2688 | my-gti.com

and there's a fix (below)


Note! Skoda owners

Extract files PQTABLE and SKTABLE from image (use magiciso or ultraiso). Files can be found from path: \VUCI\B101\RNSMIDEC\PROG
Switch the filenames by just renaming SKTABLE to PQTABLE and vice versa
Overwrite the renamed files back to image and save the image. Burn this image to DVD or CD.
Load or reload the Firmware to your RNS-510 using the steps below.
Voilá… buttons are back!




Has this issue been fixed with the 4120 firmware? Or do I need to swap those files around to fix my steering wheel?

[kamold]

You will need to swap the tables as before.

Did you go in with VCDS & change the "short button press on steering wheel option"?? That's sometimes an issue

[wfdTamar]

Well 88gger me. I've been puzzling over that for days going mad looking in VCDS changing and trying all sorts of things. Making that change fixed it. Why isn't that bug still mentioned in the firmware download post? Looks like we need a VW download and a Skoda download (and Audi & Seat?).

[kamold]

Because hardly anyone in aus has a pre-fl Octy with mfsw and rns.

Hi all,
Does anyone have a working link to the V6 or V7 maps for AU?
I've been search the forums all morning and the old V6 link seems to be broken.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Your best bet for V7 maps is your dealer - most are doing them for $60 now, all above board and legal.

I tried updating the firmware on my RNS510 today and fear I may have bricked the unit. Based on the advice in this thread I was upgrading to 412 code (my unit is a 'D' model according to the version info screen), but the unit will now not boot up.

I have burnt the recovery CD but can't get it to boot from that either. I can't even eject the recovery CD at the moment either.

Does anybody out there have any ideas where I might go from here? Would replacing the hard drive make a difference, or is the firmware kept on some flash memory device inside the unit?

Any advice gratefully received.
