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

BUT I did get fat32 to work once in the past.

Bazzle

Also a pointless post!

Just thought I'd offer some feedback.

I got back to Sydney after the holidays and did the upgrade to both the firmware and maps.

Once I got the Sandisk MobileMate I was able to get the files on to the mapping microSDHC card. All went well with the map upgrade.

I formatted a microSDHC to FAT and then downloaded and extracted the files onto it.

I did make note of how to get to the language section as suggested and I did need it. A tip for anyone is to just note the column and row for the buttons, spreadsheet style. One thing I did not do was to note the radio stations as they all get wiped

The upgrade went OK. I reinstated the language and then had to try and remember the stations I had. I have now made a list of stations for the future.

hi DkN,

Are you able to give any more info on the new units yet?

Thanks

Unfortunately no, Audiosources is being tight-lipped about this unit, but I have confirmation from the manager that I should at least receive a test unit by the end of the month, so I'd imagine I would be able to release some more details then.

What car do you drive? I don't think it has to do with the USB but you can disconnect it and see if it makes a difference. Does it stay black forever, or does it load eventually?

The sound glitch at the end of the song has been reported before, it's most likely something technical to do with the WinCE system in the way it handles the song files as it closes one file and moves on to the next. I'm not entirely sure where they are at with this issue, but it happens only to some songs - still no clear pattern, but the glitch is only for a fraction of a second.

I drove a Golf MkV. This firmware IMO has made the RVC functionality worst. My unit hang couple of times to the point where I need to power off the unit. The RVC is unusable if you have bluetooth, navigation on, or both.

One thing I have noticed with the new firmware is that when I start the car, it goes to the radio rather than the sat nav. I have to press the NAVI button. The previous firmware remembered what was last being used. Not a biggie as the satellites hook up much quicker.

While I am here, I went fown to Bendigo (from Sydney) for the Christmas break with the previous firmware (only did the upgrade when I got back). One thing I noticed was the system switching between Profile 1 and Profile 2, all on its own. The other thing (even after the upgrade) is that even though I have named Profile 1 to something else, it still shows Profile 1 on screen.

I've not seen a unit do that before - it could have something to do with the MCU update. I should get a new update soon and hopefully that will fix it, otherwise you may have a faulty unit.

Satnav autostart is an option under setup -> system. It gets reset by a firmware flash, that's all.

Not sure what you mean by profile - are you talking about the navigation?

Not sure how you do the wiring connection of your reverse cam. This link was useful to me: How to install OEM backup camera on mk5 mk6 VW Golf or VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI JSW
Especially this info from the link provides.(This requires a permanent 12V supply with a 5A fuse, don't attempt to use an ignition fed 12v supply otherwise unpredictable results will occur.)

I'll reset the system to get the navi come on.

The profile is the navigation profile. I presume it is the general settings that you can setup for different preferences. When the navi system starts up, there is a black "jelly bean" that comes up anouncing Profile 1. While driving to Bendigo (and on return), I would suddenly get this black "jelly bean" anouncing Profile 2 and then back to Profile 1 and back again. Nothing really changed, just this was displayed.

Well just got to the point where I am considering some mods to my 2011 CC. Main upgrade is to install a RVC, but reading through the great info in these forums, I am now getting giddy about the idea of replacing my head unit from my RCD510 to a more featured one which includes SATNAV with possibility of adding aftermarket RVC and not just OEM one. But from what I can gather, the ANS810 unit which looks quite impressive is just about to be replaced, and DkN is no longer stocking these.
I am not really interested in the OBD functions which look like a big feature of the soon to be released units, so the ANS810 would probably suit me fine as long as it fully integrates with steering wheel and MFD / AC like the stock unit does. I note that there has been improvements with Ipod functionality which is good - (I take it that you can list titles by podcasts now as well as albums, artists etc?).
Any other options I could consider? Or should I just wait and see what is just around the corner?
Thanks
