DNS series head unit (new generation dual core RNS-510 alternative)

[moda]

Are you back up and running again Moda, how long did it take to get the part from China from when you ordered it?

Yep, back up and running. Sandy got me all sorted. Replacement board ended up not fixing it, so Sandy has he unit to go back to China for parts and I now have a replacement unit.

Something coming from Audiosources soon

Usually they just delete my negative experience with "Sandy" without asking

WTF!

If that's the case, some poor customer will end up with a "new" unit full of used parts.

Unbelievable.

Its not a big deal, very common and happens more than you think, particularly in China. Hell, even major manufacturers do it quite a bit. If you ever have an issue with an iPhone and get it replaced in store, it will be a refurb, brand new case/screen/battery, but the working internals will be reused.

I understand that this happens but f me, throw it in the bin FFS.

Finally got the balls to update my unit yesterday and it seems to be working fine.
Weird thing is that reception on the radio seems to be better than it was (even though it wasn't bad before).
I will leave it at home and drive the kids car to work for a couple of days to see if the can update helps with battery drain.

Please help, My DNS-810, is muted when navigation.Which of the firmwares could be good for me? Of those that posted above.

Meh, it would only be usable components, most of it would be going in the bin.

Anyways, hopefully that fixes your battery drain issues, I wonder if it is even the CANBUS drain issues that the Mk5s had?

What issues are you having? It sounds like it may even be a GPS/Headunit configuration issue more than anything. Press and hold the NAV button will mute or unmute the Nav software, btw.

You have the Non-A, Old CANBUS. I can't even remember what version of the firmware is the correct one for that unit, looking at what I have, it would be:

BSP: MS9.H.32.1018
MCU: DNS810.141014
MPU: DNS810.11Oct14.32.VW.V36

It would be worth sending Audiosources an email to see what the latest version is for your unit, BTW.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!

It is your responsibility to read all the instructions and follow them, it is up to you to follow them, otherwise you will brick your unit. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. ALSO, do it with the engine running to make sure your car doesn't drain the battery, AND if the unit freezes or doesn't do anything or just has a black screen throughout the process, JUST LET IT SIT AND DO ITS THING. DON'T PANIC. DON'T TOUCH IT. LET IT DO ITS THING.

Thank you! I had a long chat with the manufacturer, I was told that they do not have such firmware. Offered to buy a new DVD.The fact is that when navigation is muted, pressing the Navi button does not help, need to reload.
