alright, I will check in with Audiosources and see how their support treats me, and otherwise I will surely take you up on your offer as you have been a HUGE wealth of knowledge thus far on this forum and I just found you on GOLFMKV as well. Are you on GOLFMK6.com?

No, I'm mostly just on this forum, and I'm occasionally on golfmkv because I own a Golf 5 and that's where I initially found the AS-7608 units which eventually led me to where I am now. Seems the majority of people there on golfmkv are still sticking to the old AS-7609 / 7608. Can't say I understand their enthusiasm, sure it's almost outrageously cheap but I think the little things wrong / missing will eventually drive me crazy.

If you purchased a unit with TMC, it should be working. I can't test here because TMC service is provided largely exclusively by SUNA in Australia and you need a commercial licence with them to receive it (broadcast is encrypted). I don't think even VW has one though apparently a few years ago people thought it was coming on the RNS-510... Maybe because apparently SUNA service is pretty terrible anyway.

I will check which TMC receiver is being offered by Audiosources though.

so any news on further firmware upgrades ???

so any news on further firmware upgrades ???

The BT update is delayed because of an issue with sorting the phonebook alphabetically, taking into account multiple languages. I've suggested to do it based on selected system language and start with English, so hopefully it will come with the next update. This means there's not a big difference with the current update so I decided to withhold it since the current rate of 2 to 3 updates a month is probably a bit too excessive for most customers. I will release updates after I test them if I find significant enough improvements to warrant it

Are there no browsing improvements in this update?

Not the one I have on hand, but I have just been informed they have preliminary software with iPod menu improvements undergoing internal testing at the moment. Also that the phonebook sort order for English systems is pretty much done, so I'm hoping both will be finalised in the next firmware release.

Are they making any progress (or have intentions) to make that right hand knob scroll through the menus again as in the previous units? I find it downright dangerous to try to touchscreen scrolling through the menus/folders of my SD card while driving.

Also that hidden OBD menu is intriguing! I just hope some of the settings (analog gauges and speed in-particular) come to life!!

DkN, thank you for all your efforts and communication with Audiosources, you are seriously 1,000,000X easier to communicate with than their tech support reps.

alright, I have a question about the SUB OUT RCA cable.

I have an amplifier wired to the rear outputs (right and left RCAs) and when I connect it to just the one subwoofer out (1 RCA only) I feel like I get 1/2 the signal as my amplifier has 2 RCA inputs.

Does a Y-adapter RCA (2-->1) make this signal full again? Does anyone use the SUBWOOFER OUT on the headunit with success?
