ANS-810 / ANS-510 (PROPER RNS-510 alternative)

**DkN** · 07-05-2013, 11:00 AM

Yes Mirrorlink is one specific company with registered trade mark and patent etc but these days the term "mirroring" or "mirror linking" is increasingly being used for such functions, hence the confusion. Anyway the new unit does true mirroring of the device unlike Mirrorlink which unlocks specific apps only when connected.

The new unit is progressing and I am hopeful for a release within a month. Their software developers are working around the clock to get everything finalised.

Applied the firmware update and all went well.

There is still an issue with the OPS not showing.

From very limited testing, if you have the Navi auto set to on, then the OPS does not display. If you have the Navi auto set to off, but press the Navi button to display the Navi screen, then a few seconds after selecting reverse, the map display is replaced by the OPS display.

Ok I apologize in advance as I know this information is in this thread but there are so many suggestions/info it's overwhelming and I can't find what I need.

Can anyone help me out with some links or part numbers to the radio adapters for the ANS-810? I've had this unit for over a year and never cared much about listening to the radio (and never have). Recently I've been wondering what I'm missing out on and want to get some decent reception.

I'm in the US, have a 2012 MK6 GTI with the dual antenna. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Sorry again for not searching better, but again too much info!

Thanks,
Brian

You'll want this one. I know it's not cheap; but don't make the same mistake I did. I just ordered one for 14 dollars and change, plus 13 dollars in shipping only to receive it and find out the AM side of the connector is empty. It's not wired to the antenna at all. I never listen to AM; but I still don't like the idea of having something that is not fully functional.

You can also try this one. It is what I got (after getting the other first) and is a touch cheaper.

Is there any point in upgrading to the latest firmware? I'm currently running 2 versions back. I skipped one because it had a few issues for some people on here. The only bug I've noticed in the version I'm running is when I start the car and engage reverse before the unit has finished booting up the screen flashes black and goes into like a reverse camera mode (I don't have a camera), it only happens for about 5 seconds though then returns to normal.

I'm running the same version and have yet to install an upgrade either. I also have the brief reverse camera screen when I engage reverse in the manner you describe. Unfortunately, I did install a reverse camera and this is the only time I see a brief glimpse of the reverse screen. I have yet to solve my reverse camera dilema.

I'll be interested in opinions on whether to upgrade. I believe from memory I have version M93...but I haven't checked the screen in a while and could be mistaken.

Update: It is version M93

Im back to M93 and I can see my camera (it does have a mind of its own though) but it is there.
How is the camera set up?

Thank you

Yes you may be the unlucky few to have the BT noise issue. If a full soft reset + firmware flash does not help then it is the hardware itself. You will have to contact Audiosources, if you bought it from them, if you really want the issue fixed.

There hasn't been any significant feature upgrades from what I could tell in the last two firmware updates. That was part of the reason why I was in no hurry to distribute them, but a few people were asking about the new firmware in this thread, so I thought I'd just throw it out there and let people play with it themselves if they want to.

That black screen does happen when you put the car in reverse before the "Welcome to Volkswagen" loading screen shows up, and you do not have an RVC installed. Doesn't really cause any real problems as it disappears later either by itself after a few seconds or when you put the car out of reverse, and it will not do it again for the rest of the session that the unit stays on.

If I remember correctly you mentioned that your reverse light wire is actually getting no signal? So unless I'm mixing you up with someone else, you need to fix that issue first, as the relay will not detect anything and not power the camera as long as that's true. The fact that you experience this little glitch which occurs to people without RVCs shows your RVC is not being detected. Firmware updates cannot fix anything if power is not physically being fed to the camera...
