        I think Google's up to the task

        Have a separate G-Drive full of Mk6 related stuff including previous versions of firmware & maps

          Keep in mind the following still apply:
          1. You NEED to recode your RNS510 after installation. No VCDS, DO NOT install.
          2. You will lose your music and maps. You need the map DVD available to reinstall. You also lose custom boot logos.
          3. There are only two real new feature over previous version. First is a new male voice guide, second is RDS now working in Aus. This may or may not be useful for some depending what radio stations you listen to as some use it more than others.
          4. There is an issue with the spoken directions: it tries to do a text-to-speech for town names, and fails. ie it will say something like, 'take the next exit, then turn right towards DUMMY'. Not sure if this is an issue with our map data (likely) or the firmware itself. I know on the RNS-E in Audis this works however. I used to get 'take the next exit towards Campslie' as it appeared that Campsie was misspelt in the database.

          If anyone can recommend a hosting site let me know else I will throw it whereever I can. I asked KimDotcom to host but he was busy getting a backrub from the warden in Auckland gaol.
          Footnotes summary please.....
          Have an RNS510 Version A, running FW4020. Worthy of an upgrade to this...or leave it alone?
          Have an RNS510 running in Touareg with FW 3810. Again...worth an upgrade or leave it alone?

          Thoughts please.

            Gain will really just be radio text.

            Useful if don't necessarily know any songs on the current charts.
            These days most stations don't actually announce every song both before or after it's been played.

            Still ... Wouldn't bother with the A unit. Really would be punching above its weight.

            But which version unit do you have in the Touareg?

              If you've got an Android phone install Soundhound and put the widget on your home screen. One press and it'll tell you everything about the song (assuming you're using a legal phone holder), with the added benefit of you then being able to check the song history list when you get home so you can then download all the good songs you heard.

              Shazam is also on Android but the general consensus on Google Play is that Soundhound is better, and it's always worked for me.

                Sorry, forgot to mention, it's a B unit in the Touareg.

                  A and B units best to leave at 3800 or 4020 only.
                  Radio boards have been known to have been killed by attempting to install 4120 or higher as they are not compatible.

                  I've tried to upload the image a few times and keeps bombing out.

                  I'm actually going to improve the image before attempting to upload again by turning it into a non-factory load (ie should not remove the coding, making it safe to install for those without VCDS). Will see if I can get this done tonight. Crazy busy atm...

                    Could someone with a factory installed RNS510/Columbus do me a favour?
                    Go into the secret menu and check under radio what the diversity type is set to?
                    Just want to know what the default is set to as mine may have been changed with the latest upgrade where all settings were wiped.

                    Thanks
