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

[DSGVW]

^^ I just asked this a couple posts ago. DkN says soon!

My unit keeps hanging on random .mp3 tracks on my SD card. It'll get frozen for 20-30 seconds and then flip back like nothing happened. Seconds on the track stop counting, buttons don't work, weird. I hope the latest firmware helps me! My "new" 4GB SD is in the mailbox today, lol. never thought I'd have to downgrade to upgrade, haha

Thank you for the firmware update - Have solved some of the SW errors

The ANS810B works fine with Skoda logo and green lighting in the display.
ANS 810B will not change to green "keys"!
I have followed the instructions from this thread without success - what can I have done wrong?

I still think that there are some buck with the FM radio when the RDS is turned on.
Examples of strange behavior - when RDS is turned on.
- FM1 no.1 frequency is 87.50 MHz without RDS - I turn on RDS now is the frequency 113.50 MHz no signal. the same for the no.2. Remaining 3 to 6 are ok.
- Some time when RDS is on and I press no2. and it switch No. 2 and it is also that channel that it switch to fur after a few sec. the display indicate that it is playing on no. one. but i playing on no. 2. the same will happen if i press on no.5. if I turn of RDS no problem.
- Frequently change between different transmitters - completely unnecessary since the signal is ok. Typically it will change for every 2 to 5 minutes.
I have this on video - maybe Audiosources would be interested in these video?

And some time it get frozen on OPS, when i start ny car, and nothing works - I have to turn of the engine to make it work again!
I don't have OPS in my car yet - hop to have it one day.

Thanks for the help guys, I got into the SATNAV again just fine. Phew! Now my issue is....nothing has changed since before the update, but my satnav can not detect any satellites. I have not changed anything with the radio, not taken it out, moved the antenna, nothing....It worked fine before the update. I drove it for about 20minutes this morning, and it did not find any. Then another 10 minutes about 2 hours later....Still nothing! Any help besides removing the head unit and playing with the antenna? Which does not seem logical as it was working before where it is now!

For changing button lighting to green, are you sure you changed key colour in setup->display to green before doing the hidden menu? Hit green even if it is already selected. Repeat the process after doing that first.

Send me a link to your video and I'll take a look. I don't use radio much at all but I haven't come across strange RDS issues.

If the unit does freeze you can just manually power off by holding down the power / mute button.

Regarding navigation, if you ever run into GPS signal issues, deleting the folder in the Primo2 directory named "save" will fix it. This is like resetting the software though and you will lose your settings and custom POIs. Before you do that there is another file you can try editing, I don't remember the exact directory it's under though, will post it up when I get home tonight.

BT20120512 is interchangeable with 20120405.

Also in response to someone's query about seat warmer display not showing a couple of pages back (posts here moving pretty fast these days), my technician says that they've confirmed seat warmer display to work on a Passat CC. The display probably just looks a bit different to the stock RNS-510 one? I cannot confirm myself since there is no A/C display for a mk5 Golf.

Hi DkN,

when i press the seat warmers there is nothing displayed on the screen at all.

Hi DkN,

Perhaps there is a glitch in triggering the display - have you tried adjusting the seat warmer then adjusting the AC, to see if there is seat warmer displayed in the image? If not then I would have to investigate further with the technician. What car do you drive?

is there a way to watch movies off an USB stick?

Yes it plays AVI and mp4 off USB / SD no problem. Issue is with resolution, it won't be able to decode files that go much higher than its native resolution of 800 x 480. I've tested AVI files but not yet for mp4.

arh awesome i was trying to play MKV format. cool

Interesting thread. Seems like a great product still in it's infancy. Lots of little bugs and things, but a group which seems keen to improve the product asap. DkN, I love your input with your customers, helping them with everything along the way, replying to every post. Awesome.

I'm in the market for a new LCD type unit for my 2008 MK5 GT Sport, and was going to go OEM, but since seeing this...I'm not sure which way to go now. For me, not being tech minded, the price was right, but it seems a bit user intensive; setting it up and maintaining it etc? I wouldn't have a clue how to install all of this stuff.

Out of curiosity, what is the CAN-Bus?

Essentially all I'm after is an LCD panel display for my radio (SATNAV would be a bonus) for my car over the tragic little OEM unit. and seat warmer or A/C functionality is separate to the unit as well. I guess watching DVD's and having the SD/USB functionality would be a bonus as well, but unless I'm on a trip I just listen to the radio.
