Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)

[swyner]

To me, the issue isn't with the screen itself, bit perhaps almost with a processor, perhaps the video processor, as the system reacts to various things, ill turn the system off to get rid of the glaring white screen, just to have it turn back on when I put the car into reverse.

Excellent point. Mine is the same way. However the reverse camera white screen is much more colorful and ONLY happens if the turn on white screen happened then cleared with soft reset. Sandy something to make note of.

The latest firmware definitely hasn't fixed the memory issue. I still cannot use the SD playback and nav at the same time without severe stuttering or a complete melt down. During just SD playback (nothing else on) I have had several monsun.exe errors and it is tking an increasingly long time to load it every time you switch it to SD mode. Hopefully the coming update provides some fixes as I believe the SD module has some serious flaws at the moment. I can use the nav with any other mode with no issues at all although I can't test aux or usb till Sandy sends me the cables.

Hi all.

I have a couple of DNS810 units on order for my Mk6 Golf and my 2011 Caddy Maxi van. In my Caddy, I am replacing a stock RCD210 which does not have multifunction steeling wheel button functionality.

Assuming I have the correct steering wheel with blank panels for the multifunction buttons, does anyone know would I be able to fit steering wheel buttons and have them work with the DNS unit?

What would I need to do or have for the Multifunction display (between speedo & tacho) to provide the same comprehensive trip info as the Golf and also info from the DNS unit. Currently the MFD only provides very basic trip info.

Unit lights are triggered by the headlights. They have to be on.

Fascia covers the gaps, google image what the rns510 in either a golf or skoda looks like and you'll see.

It's pretty self explanatory, but yea, the book is useless. GPS attaches to the threaded port, fit the antenna where appropriate. The top of the unit has a pinout for the iPod/whatever. Radio antenna fits in the only one it would fit in. CAN harness fits in the only one it would fit in.

GPS file is in iGo -> Scroll to bottom using your finger swipe, it's the only .exe file.

Thanks moda.

What's happening with the dns lighting is that it only comes on when I switch the lights on manually. I leave my lights on auto 100% of the time, and the dns does not realize they are on. So I have to flick them off and on again.

I went to skoda for the fascia and the one they had was the wrong shape for my climate section. He could order a few different types in but it would take three weeks and weren't guaranteed to fit- no clear picture... Nothing about the gap filler inserts. Do you have part numbers for these inserts?

In igo I'm looking for a way to silence spoken directions, while spoken alerts still exsist. i.e. turn left @ xxx is silent, but speed camera @ next intersection is spoken. Couldn't find this option.

Thanks heaps!

Pretty happy with the seeking through large mp3s speed now, it skips straight to it (even if you skipped 1.5 hours in from the start) and the screen is pretty response. Works well. There still is the bug about not remembering/resuming on shutdown/startup, though. It just starts from the start of the track (bit annoying for a 2 hour set).

Have a search around, theres some threads talking about updating a non MF steering wheel to MF. You need to get a new steering wheel and the modules to read them, I think it's a bit of a mission, from memory.

On the MFD side, there's not much else that the DNS displays, so far. As discussed previously, eventually it should get updated to display nav and 3 line info for music etc.

Thanks moda.

No clue what's going on with the lighting, maybe try doing a reset.

No clue about the skoda thing, like I said, google golf rns510 and have a look, I imagine it should be similar or the same?

In iGo, go to options -> Sounds and notifications, and have a look in there, there are all sorts of options for spoken alerts/directions etc etc, it's just a matter of having a play around and tweak it to how you want it.

Cleaned up the spreadsheet a bit, removed some duplicates and added a Category section so it documents whether it's a bug or a missing feature.

Had a weird error tonight, exited GPS and the screen went haywire....

Also no CD text support? Really? Mark that down for a requirement!

I thought the same about the CD text thing. But if u go hit menu. Then back to the CD screen the text comes up. But doesn't progress to the next track. This needs work. It seems that it recognizes track names etc. But doesn't realize to read the new one when the track changes. Should add it to the spreadsheet.

I'm still waiting on the new firmware, I should get it early next week.

Audiosources has located the cause of the white screen fault, apparently one of the resistors on the motherboard did not like low temperatures. It's been fixed in the production unit. They are still investigating the memory and monsun.exe fault. It's a bit hard because the software engineer says he has not been able to replicate the problem. Also, monsun.exe is simply the SD playback program, so the fact that this program is crashing doesn't really help with tracking down the cause. Woweriux you said you can pretty much replicate it on demand, could you please explain how and if it's connected to a certain file / file type etc being played in SD mode?

In summary, if you get excessive noise / static in the BT interface or the white screen error, these are likely hardware faults. I need to confirm availability with Audiosources but you will be able to exchange your faulty unit for the final production units. I will cover half of the return shipping for international orders and all of the return shipping for local Australian orders. The replacement unit shipping will be free per the standard warranty.
