Hdd to Ssd and all the updates!

What up...
Hope everyone is well.

Today's first question is:
Who here can and want to replace my RNS unit's hard drive to an SSD and has the latest firmware and maps.

Second question is:
What would you like in return ?


Melbourne.
R36 2010 build I don't know what firmware I have but it's factory.


Thanks

There is a thread on this in the technical section complete with pictures on how to do it

RNS-510 HDD replacement/SSD swap DIY

Also one for upgrading firmware which is pretty easy to do. Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

Your firmware version is found by holding in the setup button till a screen with version information appears and press that.

All will be revealed.

Maps are not available on here any more We have to buy them to stay legal.

Its a lot of work for what I would say is not a lot of gain.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't have a problem updating the firmware my self but I wouldn't attempt the ssd replacement cause I would destroy the clips for sure, hence why I asked if someone is willing to do it for me...

I wonder how the new DAB version of RNS with SSD that i have recently purchased from Europe will go on performance for a stock ssd model?

[Waah954]

What's DAB? Assuming it's new better spec than mine.

Is that you hinting to install an ssd in mine so we can then compare it lol

[Hillbilly]

DAB is Digital audio Broadcast and is used in lots of countries.

However Australia uses DAB+ which apparently is not compatible with the older DAB and so a Euro version may not work here

See here for description Digital Audio Broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As well as that its range is limited and our DAB+ radio at home suffers from dropouts when we walk around the room so best of luck in a moving car. A far better thing is SIRIUS satellite radio as used in the USA which has a huge number of stations and is available nationwide.
Only place it didnt work was in narrow canyons and the GPS dropped out in the same places

DAB = Digital Audio Broadcasting

I will be installing my old unit into a mk5 golf so i can test that way. I am not sure it is worth the effort to install ssd, i am only getting ssd as i wanted a DAB unit.

Oh fair enough is it worth updating the firmware ?

Oh yeah I watch some video on HD radio and was trying to get it in my car then I thought the reason I don't have it cause Australia don't have digital radio..

So now it all makes sense

I would like a radio that I can watch video on LOL

Is that what the firmware update does ?
Is that video in motion ?
