VW RNS 510 Turning off issue

[LowVeeDub]

Hello,

Recently just purchased an Eos 2010 TDI DSG for the wife.

I have done a search and found a similar thread but was there was no identified solution.

Upon driving the car home from Sydney, The radio was fine until about Mt White area.

It turned off, and reset after about 1 min or so. Completely off, no lights, nothing.

Found a similar thread as I said, but does not really describe a fix.

It has been doing it now every 10 mins driving on the Central Coast

Called the dealer and its $148 for a scan to identify the problem.

Can anyone suggest a possible fix or solution if they have experienced this issue.

Cheers... LVD

Load 5238 firmware.
Then test it again.

Thanks

Load 5238 firmware.

Have rcd300 in mk5 Jetta that turns off after 60min exactly. Have to turn in again manually then get another 60min.
Don't drive many long trips but is always a comment of "well 1 hrs since we left"

Did a 5238 firmware flash and still turning on and off.
Re installed maps etc.
Its driving me bonkers. Any ideas out there?

It's pretty straight forward to remove the radio and reseat the main connector. Worth a shot in case it a poor connection.

Ignition switch.

Hmmm so known issue with the IG switch. Anyone know a decent price for replacement at a dealer?

OK to add to the weirdness, went for a drive to Sydney today to Ikea. Went off once on the M1 close to Ourimbah exit.
Did not go off once in Sydney, on the return home went off again close to Ourimbah. So if anyone has any ideas. Unsure how a ignition switch could be effecting the functionality of the unit. Let me know your thoughts people.. Just dont want to throw $$$ at it when it wont fix the problem. LVD

The igniton switch has an internal fault that intermittently cuts power to the accessories.

Little update, took the car to VW dealer on the coast for scan. They have advised ignition switch is not showing any error codes. They removed the Bluetooth module thinking it could be that. Drove off from dealer and radio switched off after 3 mins. So no fix really and they are saying new unit if Bluetooth removal did not correct issue. So $3k unit is what they advised, absolutely ridiculous!. Any ideas??

Speak to Euro Car Upgrades... They are one of the sponsors here...

If you are already running 5238 firmware and there isn't an electrical fault then you have a problem either with the power block or mainboard. If it's main board you are best off buying a new one (not from dealer try vwcentral) as the replacement cost is probably half of a whole unit. If it's power block then I could probably replace it for a reasonable cost.

Same

Hey I know this post is old af!
But I recently bought a mk6 gti from Sydney and the exact same thing happened to me on the way home at ourimbah exit and still happens every single day. Driving in Sydney and Newcastle, it is fine.. as soon as I hit the coast on the freeway it's off and on. No one knows what's going on. Did you find a solution?

Ourimbah sounds like it's the Bermuda triangle for RNS systems...some sort of buffer overflow caused by specific GPS coordinates?

What firmware version do you have.
