DNS series head unit (new generation dual core RNS-510 alternative)

[asa572]

Still no fix for the laggy Nav , sd , usb.
USB playback is fine.
When EQ is set to loud it still has way to much bass.
BT works fine but takes a while to connect.

Installed this morning, at least on quick usage (just radio), works fine, BT works again, MFD screen works again. Will let ya'll know when I use iPod/SD/Nav and see how that is now.

Versions:

BSP: MS9.H.32.0616
MCU: DNS810.140702
MPU: DNS810.2Jul14.32.VW.V19

Still laggy....? Are you serious? I am frustrated now.. It seems theyvwill never fix this!

[moda]

Can confirm, SD (FLAC) and Nav is still laggy (the usual volume/track change, playback stalls on end of song, won't progress to next song until you minimize Nav).

SD Playback is much quicker on its own, though. BT/FM/MFD working fine, as normal, though.

I might experiment with iGo8.3 and see if that makes a difference, really don't want to go to Sygic, though.

I can't adjust the NAV volume while it's running.

I would be a bit careful with the feedback guys

All my posts were deleted (including those not related to this group buy).

Sandy is still a paying sponsor despite his infrequent posts

My month long ban without warning, all my posts deleted and silence from moderators concerning the delays, product failings, and the "I'm too busy to update the forum" is disrespectful to the people that trusted Sandy.

I'm sure this post will be deleted and I will be banned for speaking out

But as a reminder, I made Sandy's actions clear last year and I was shot down.

I hope it works out for you guys that have paid the money.

I learnt a lot from the experience.

I will be trying Sygics maps tonight.

[Fdandy]

I've tested sygic, the app seems to work ok, but he maps graphics have issues (it's rendering diagonally)

Same here, either renders map scrambled or freezes in menu while browsing settings

If anyone has any luck let us know - Sygic otherwise looks quite good!

[Goobz]

I'm willing to try it if someone gets a working build. IGo is pottery much unusable for me at the moment. Freezes and locks the whole unit even when is the only thing running.

Something not right there Goobz, which version of iGo? I'm using Primo 2.4 and it works perfectly (aside from it causing SD playback to not skip to next track) and has never caused my unit to freeze

[matiasg85]

For those using Sygic, how do you put the maps in the maps folder to be taken by the app? I'm not having luck with it. By the other hand, i've tested the latest fw i uploaded on my dns610, and it's unusable, iit will freeze almost everytime, and then it will stay on the vw logo, while playing the radio in the background.

Any ideas?

Hi everybody, I've also DNS610 unit and as you all fighting everyday to get it work as a proper product. The last firmware I've installed was one AS sent me on June 22, the result although better than before, still not getting it work properly. I will share with you some issues I have, maybe you can help.

1. While starting the car, the radio losts sound and the way to recover it is by restaring the unit.


2. I lost communication with the CANBUS randomly. From time to time my steerignwheel commands stop working and information from the canbus is not show anymore in the unit (ex: doors open). The only way to recover from this is by removing the fuse inside the hood.


3. The unit randomly can't be started. From time to time and without any errors appearing the unit doesn't start, not even by pressing the knobs. The only way to recover from this is by removing the fuse inside the hood.


4. After the last upgrade the multi-function display (MFD) appears in "off" status while showing the radio station information. With the previous Firmware the radio station was shown in the MFD.


5. I can not set the correct time to the unit. Looks to be in China's timezone.


6. When switching from FM to AM it does not syntonize any existing presets, it just goes to the first station in the dial (ex: FM 87.5 MHZ)


7. I've also tried to go back to the previous firmware but it was impossible, the upgrade process gets hanged and never ends.

8. I have Igo Primo 2.4 working fine but the GPS position is not that precise (the GPS dot shows some metes away from my current position).

So I finally got iGo8.3.5 to work for me. Works fine, no lag at all, even when using SD and playing back FLAC.

Unfortunately iGo8.3.5 looks like ****, looks like something from the 90s, where as Primo is much more refined and actually usable.

Very strange as to why iGo8 works fine but primo is a laggy potato.

I don't want to use Sygic either because the maps are super outdated :\

Unfortunately mate, it seems the DNS610 software hasn't been developed much, as they're trying to fix all the issues with the 810 first.

I don't have any of those issues on my 810.

Sandy is the new update compatible with the 610?
Andy

Andy,

All the updates should have been universal. I know AS sells mostly 610s in the domestic Chinese market so I am not sure why your unit has not been doing well with the updates. Have a go with this one and see how you go.

Cheers,

Sandy
