Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[arcadelt]

I have a spare 512GB SSD lying around so am thinking of installing that, replacing it with my current 40GB SSD.

I believe that the disk interface is PATA, not SATA, so you might need to check the compatibility of your disk. Apart from that, I recall that there is a tutorial/guide on how to do the disk upgrade somewhere on this forum, so you should search for that.

I haven't actually pulled my current RNS unit apart (same as the above post from @joecool) however I don't believe that the SSD in these units has a SATA interface. I'm pretty sure it is a NAND flash device soldered straight onto the board.

So unless you've got the mad solder skillz and can replace 144pin TFBGA packages you're stuck with the small device they've decided to stick on it...

I see. Thanks arcadelt and kamold. I mostly listen to talkback radio anyway....

Me too (ABC RN); but don't be disheartened. You could always get the MDI kit and an old iPod Classic and then you would have 160GB of storage (or more if you custom upgrade it - I have one with 512GB on board), or the appropriate bluetooth module and then stream from your smartphone to your heart's content. Personally, I use an iPhone and anything that I can play on that can be streamed to the RNS-510.

Has anyone found bugs in the 5238 firmware?
- I find that when I start the car the radio sometimes forgets what station I was last tuned into and reverts to whatever the first station it finds in the FM band, in Melbourne it's 89.9Mhz Light Christian Music *groan*.
- GPS takes forever to get an accurate fix on you, usually at least 5 mins before the navigation can start directing you properly, before that the GPS shows my location as been blocks away from where I am.

No and sounds like low battery as that will cause whats happening

Try putting in this string and saving, then go back and edit the coding bytes using long coding as appropriate for your car:

Mate, this worked and I was able to do one set of recoding, and now it won't change the code at all? It just comes up with "coding accepted" but when I go back to check the coding, the "current coding" refuses to change. Any ideas? ATM it's running as if it's got a sound system installed so low volume which is a bloody pain

There sounds like there is a bad eeprom in your unit.
Initially it had no coding, now it's not saving new coding.
I would try and enter the coding string a few times in a row to see if it will update, otherwise might need to look at a repair

Got it to take the code by reinstalling firmware, coding that generic one you sent me, then recoding again. Fingers crossed its now bloody fixed!

Good result

Hi, do you know where I can have the rns510 updated here in Melbourne? There's a compatibility issue when i plug my Iphone ios 10.3 in MDI. Thanks

If you are using the cable that came with it you will find it will only charge it NOT play music through it.

Hi everybody.
Newbie here with little vw knowledge, however, my wife has a 2012 yeti with an rns510 that has decided that audio isn't nececary and that neither is English.......

From what I have read, it isn't exactly an uncommon issue and is usually rectified with a software/firmware update, but there are so many hardware versions and software versions for different regions etc, I find it a little daunting.

Anyone prepared to help me decipher exactly what I need to sort it?

Thanks in advance

Install version 5238

Hw version says H60 and existing firmware is 3984.
Will 5238 be compatible with the hardware?
Also do you have a link to it.
Thanks
