No idea mate, never used the rear screen function.

Edit: The older firmware versions, like the ones you're running, had heaps of issues, so yea.

1) Primo has never worked properly, even with older versions
2) Why would you run such an old firmware anyways, it had heaps of bugs. The current version(s) are significantly better.

???

I suspect that Audiosources may have done some tweaking and Primo works better in the new (new canbus decoder) version of the DNS, otherwise people just aren't very good and seeing how broken it is?

I installed the old firmware because the latter worked very unstable. Besides the cold weather in Russia, and the device was loaded with 10 times. On December firmware today DNS610 booted immediately. Primo works really fast!

More forgot to say. Manager of Audiosources told me that they did not change can bus chip. and set that everything is the same. Here is her answer - About the chips, we always use the Japanese Shinwa chip as car standard line chip, dear, pls kindly note.

Strange, what version were you using before?

Not my experience, the latest firmwares are way better than the december version. I've used each version a lot. Even in the december version Primo was ****. The latest versions are much more stable, there are very little bugs and it works much better in general.

Sounds like there was a language barrier. They definitely did change the canbus decoder module.

I tried all firmware versions that were available in this forum. The latest version of October - tightly halts When switching the device options TA radio. Plus my favorite navigation software Navitel works in all firmware is not very stable. In the December version is no navigation problems. Yes, if you're interested - there is a free navigation software 7 ways. She works with the format OpenstreetMap maps. And Map reference

I'm back in action guys, sorry about the wait. I haven't been fully idle either, had to check in on the status of return shipment on my honeymoon at the reasonable rate of $1 per minute of internet.

Long story short I had to pay another $750 to get the shipment out of China customs and redirected to a maildrop address I rented in Hong Kong. However the maildrop company is unable to send the shipment cross border because of similar issues with customs. Chinese regulations are very strict about defective electronic goods coming into China.

The good news is that the HK address is only some 50km away from Audiosources. So, $1500 later, one way or another we should be able to get the shipment across the border, even if it means someone physically drives over and picks up the shipment rather than using a courier company. I will let you guys know, I should be able to sort it out this week.

I'll start the process of going through my emails and PMs but it'll have be slowly over this week. I should have caught up on my correspondence as well by the end of the week.

No worries mate, hope you had a great time

Wow, those returns sound like one hell of a mess, hopefully it all gets sorted!

Just got passed along new firmware for the DNS (October 18 ), but it was for the new version (MCU = 'A') with updated canbus (V02), so waiting to hear back about whether there is one for the older DNS. Bit annoying, but it should be good once we get the new canbus decoder.

Edit: Got new version for the old DNS. Works fine, SD seems a lot quicker. Theres now a time zone option, so no more fussing about in WinCE.

Will probs upload both versions for new and old on friday once uni is out of the way.
