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

[jaredtomas]

Battery drain relates to devices that have an older CANBUS gateway installed. A Google here will tell you the exact part numbers but if you have the older gateway, the ANS is unable to disconnect from the battery and will continue to draw power even when the car is not running, thus draining the battery.

The DNS should be smarter because it has full CANBUS integration.

I believe this is only an issue with the OEM units (e.g. RCD/RNS510).

I understand that ANS units do not suffer from this issue. I stand to be corrected though.

Edit: oops, seems that Sandy has already answered this.

Thanks for the correction. I remember looking at this before I found this thread and must have for the various units muddled up. I know I spent some time working out if I needed a CANbus upgrade at the time.

Yes I am expecting an update on Friday. If not, I'll be expecting some big concessions from them if they want to make us wait any longer.
