Hi Martin Thiesen
I have the same problem with my ANS510. I think i have installed a bad version that i found on the internet. A part of this update is done by media slot (MPEG) named ANS510AS.XF14. I contact audiosources to have the latest version of my ANS510, I done it but i have the same problem. media sdcard, CD/DVD and USB port doesn't work. In the update that i had from audiosources there is no ANS510AS.XF14 just the BSP, MPU and MCU.
Did you found a solution,
Dkn can you help me please

My actual version:
BSP: ANS510AS.612
MPU: ANS510AS.M99
MPGE :
Servo :
MCU : ANS510AS.131012.m1.T0
BT : 20120512
MST701: 7.0.098
Region code 9

Sorry for my bad english

MPEG will only show the version after first playing some media.

When SD, DVD and USB fail together it is the decoder hardware that has failed. This could well occur because of flashing the wrong firmware, but could also just be a faulty part - unfortunately the only solution is to send the unit back for repairs, or get a new DVD drive (the decoder chip resides on the DVD drive's board) and replace it yourself if you're handy with this kind of thing. You can order spare parts from Audiosources, but the shipping will be expensive.

G'day,

I have an ANS-610 and only just noticed after the last firmware update that the graphic on the touch screen to indicate which door is open is reversed. It appears to be set for LHD vehicles as when I open the driver's side door, it shows the passenger's side door as open. How do I set it for RHD vehicles?

This happens after updating MCU - just go to setup -> system -> driver door and choose "right".

any updates sandy? waiting is like waiting for xmas...

I assume you mean the DNS series unit, please refer to the group buy thread. This thread is for the older ANS units. I will start a specific thread here about the DNS unit too, after its actual release, so people can post questions and feedback.

Thanks.

While I'm here. When I got to the shopping centre on Saturday morning, I noticed a Chinese dialog popped (top left of the display) up over the navigation screen when I stopped the car and took the ignition key out. Unfortunately, putting it back in and turning it on did not reproduce the dialog.

It would be a WinCE error message - not sure what it could be, maybe out of memory when the GPS is running with 3D buildings on and other things running in the background? You're probably unlikely to see it again, but if you do just take a picture and send it to me and I'd be able to tell you.

Hi Sandy,

I have finally updated my ANS810 firmware to the one that you sent out in May, everything went ok, however now when i reverse the OPS system is displayed when i dont actually have the system installed can you help?

Hi Sandy,

Unfortunately, I have the exact opposite where this upgrade does not always (rarely?) shows the OPS display if you have the navigation screen turned on.

The only way I have found to overcome this is to not have the navigation to start automatically, or if you have the navigation on, to press the NAVI button to turn it off. Even here, you may have to press it twice, as the first time it will display something like "Navigation starting...". Press it once more and you will be back at the radio screen and now the OPS display will show.

Sandy, any idea if this will be fixed?

Thanks.

Wai, I dont have the Nav system starting automatically this morning the radio was on and when i put it in reverse it OPS pictures came up.

I will have a better idea after they release the new unit since they've put all their focus on that right now. I suspect it has something to do with the satnav program being designed to always sit on top unless minimised.

Just a note this is to stop the OPS screen from showing if you don't have RVC or OPS installed.

Thank you DkN for your answere. Could you tell me how much it will cost me to repear it?

If it's under warranty you could ship the unit back to them to fix, but you'd have to handle the shipping. Otherwise, it's about $40 for the replacement part I believe. It's a straightforward enough job that your best solution would be to just order the part from Audiosources, ~$40 + ~$35 to ship via DHL, much faster and probably end up costing less than shipping your entire unit there and back. All you do is undo some screws, open up the unit, unscrew and unplug your DVD drive and install the new one.

Are the majority of people happy with there ans 810,510?
iam on the waiting list for the dns. But the delays,bugs etc is killing me. if I order the ans will I be happy with it or should I wait for the dns?

[a803sgo]

my 810 has been ok, cant complain for something that only cost £400 but the screen feels cheap and sometimes the functionality isn't great - saying that its very oem looking and everyone who sees it is impressed.

Hi DKN,

just a question regarding reversing camera, is there a a way to connect a number plate late style camera to my ANS810 without tapping a rely into the reverse light,

[bazzle]

Depends on what version of ans you have . Later ones have a Brown wire you can tap camera power into. Early may need relay.

Hi Sandy, please help? I finally got around to installing the update that fixes the reverse camera screen issue that pops up when you go into reverse.

I inserted the SD and hit yes. Then had to let my fiance out of the driveway while it was thinking so went into reverse and the unit froze. So tried again and it won't read anything from that SD slot, USB or CD/DVD, it just stalls on the Volkswagen screen. The only functions that work are Phone, GPS and Radio.

However I tried the 2nd part of the update process and it worked fine from the GPS slot and fixed the reverse camera issue just fine. But I still have no luck with reading form the other SD slot, USB or CD/DVD.

Cheers.
