ANS-810 / ANS-510 (PROPER RNS-510 alternative)

I am back guys sorry I was catering to the group buy

Seems some of you have the reverse OPS issue - please do READ every update I send out and not just download the files even if you have done it plenty of times before - If anything changes or new information comes up I put them in the update emails. Check the last (or the one before that) update email I sent, I explained that you have to flash a different MCU file if you do not have factory OPS / reverse camera.

If you can't find that info, drop me a PM and I will give you the link.

Sorry Sandy that's not correct, here is the email you sent for the update that started the reverse OPS issue;

New firmware update is available for M version ANS units.



This update is only incremental and focuses more on options available in the hidden menu (long press middle of the far left screen in Aux-In menu). I have not identified any substantial updates to everyday usage so feel free to skip this update if you want.



Note there are changes to the update instructions as we now have clearer explanation on the difference between certain MCU files. You will need to read the updated instructions to proceed with this update.



A reminder that all Skoda customers can change the skin to green after the update by using the hidden menu referred to above.



Updated firmware flashing instructions:

Latest M99 firmware:

Cheers,

And if you read the new instructions there is no mention of it either.

And here is the email before;

New firmware update is available for your ANS unit. Please see below:



Updated flashing instructions – please read:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jasd57d8qpaus81

M version firmware:

http://www.mediafire.com/?huqohgxhdfhbt4f

V version firmware:

http://www.mediafire.com/?rux6sul4p2dwgzu

The update for the M version firmware should fix any black screen issues with the reverse camera.



Please note the new V version software currently only has English and Traditional Chinese as language options.



For Skoda users, there is a new simpler procedure to change the colour. The setting under setup -> display -> key colour should now work instantaneously when you select a colour, and to change the loading screen images, you can select these directly in the previous hidden menu, accessed by going to the Aux-In screen, then pressing and holding the middle of the far left of the screen. You can separately choose the boot logo and load screen logo, while the skin colour setting is in the “model select” option.



Cheers,



Sandy

Can you please PM me a fix?

Cheers.

Yeah my mistake, it seems a few people have recently signed up to my update service and I sent them the OPS fix, and then I got mixed up thinking I've sent the fix to everyone already.

In the interest of making things easier for others with the same issue I will post the fix here, it's just the MCU file and you just replace the MCU file in the updates I send out with this one below:

Brilliant thanks Sandy!!

Sorry, had to register just to ask a question. I've had this unit for about three months. All of a sudden I get no sound from the GPS Unit. Radio works fine, but I hear no navigation voice or alerts when I am in GPS mode. All of the volumes are on, nothing is muted. Does anyone have any suggestions? Faulty fuse in the unit itself? Something disconnected??

I've factory reset the unit twice and no change.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!!

You need to perform a firmware update, soft reset will not fix this issue.

I'll give that a try and see if it solves the problem. Thank you.

No software update needed. I simply started up the GPS unit. Put in a destination and then held the NAVI button until I saw GPS Sound On appear.

My gps unit won't read my sd card for the nav after the update. Any fix?

Just says sdmmc on very top with no options like it used to

That's only if you accidentally muted nav audio by long pressing the navi button. There is a separate glitch in older firmware where the navigation loses audio and does not come back until a firmware update.

That's not good mate, are you sure you performed the update properly? Did you perform any updates in the GPS slot or not? If your GPS slot can no longer read SD cards you're pretty much stuck because you can't even do any MPU and MCU updates without it. This would require the unit to be sent back to be fixed.

I did the new firmware update correctly in the media slot and the GPS slot.
I went to use it and it said sdmmc at the top while the card was plugged in. This was few weeks after I did the update. Then I tested it yesterday and it worked fine. I set the GPS path and used it for one trip. When I tried to use it to get back home it did the same thing sdmmc again. =(. It's like intermittently working.

If I needed it to be sent back can I send it to you for a repair job ? Or is there a full reset or roll back update I can do?

Pull the SD card in and out a few times. Also try a diff SD card.
Ive had both issues, poor contact, and intermittently faulty cards.

Does anybody know if there are any after market parking sensors that they can cooperate with these units?

A friend of mine is interesting and I didn’t know what to answer him.

And one last thing, is it compatible (ANS/DNS 810) to install on VW Amarok?

Thanks in advance.

If you mean you want to show the parking sensor information on screen like the OEM OPS system then no, you will need the OEM system to see the OPS information. If you just want parking sensors, they don't really integrate with anything, even the OEM PDC sensors just beep at varying rates depending on the distance, nothing more.

The units are compatible with Amarok.

Sandy, I thought that the screen could show the sensor display, as in 4:40 of your (second) video of that Golf here - or am I misunderstanding the abbreviations?

The factory PDC sensors by themselves are just sensors, they do not have any means of sending information such as distance to detected object etc. Likewise for any aftermarket sensors.

With the addition of the factory OPS system all the information for the factory PDC sensors can be read and displayed on screen. The ANS / DNS series units are fully compatible with the OPS system and will show all sensor information just like the OEM units, but without the OPS system it is not possible to get this information for display, not even for the OEM RNS-510.

Hope this clears things up.

These units work quite well (when they want ) with nearly any aftermarket reverse camera. A better option in my opinion than beepers. Last one I fitted on someones car was $19.99
