Can I put this 5238 sw from Kamold for car in Europe

No, as it will not leave enough space for EU maps.
Au maps are only 800MB.

Thanks Kamold for the amazing guide, it brought my RNS510 with corrupted firmware back to life. It started displaying in German, can't load English, Bluetooth and Radio went belly up.

Just a little bit of extra info for any one interested,

My unit details (press and hold Setup button gave me this):
Delivery part number 1T0 035 680 D
HW Version H64
SW Version 4020
Active map coverage Aus + Nz
Active map supplier Sensis
Map version HDD 7679

ISO that was used:
AU_FW_5238_90_5_5.iso (md5sum: 7dec0ec7c42fdb0b659c9046661054a0)
V7_nav.iso (md5sum: 40143db89e84fd47ccd920bca83ad881) (link from Touareg forum, just google for RNS510 V7 AU map)

They were burnt with a slim DVD writer and using TDK DVD-R using Imgburn at 3x (please read media capability before burning, mine was saying 3x is the lowest possible speed). I select TAO (Track-at-once) but log was saying disc was burn with Disc-at-once mode.

However, verifying disk pass and update went successfully from the first go.

Thanks again so much for the guide.

I'm having trouble with this. My RNS510 is in a boot loop showing the VW logo then switching off after 15-20 seconds. I can also hear it trying to spin up the CD drive every 45 seconds or so.

I've tried following the steps in this thread, and get as far as seeing red lines at the top of bottom after holding Eject + i + Setup, and it says "THE SYSTEM IS NOT ABLE TO START UP" and "PLEASE INSERT SWL-CD". I insert the burnt CD at this point but the unit switches off after a few seconds as usual. If I keep holding down the buttons, the buttons on the unit will flash every 10 seconds or so but nothing comes up on the screen.

Does this mean the disc hasn't been burned correctly or does it point to further faults with the unit?

What version and firmware

What is the version of the maps you are trying to load and how did you write it and at what speed

It's the 1T0035680B and I'm trying to load AU_FW_5238_90_5_5.iso.

Here's the best I can get out of the unit:
* Hold Eject + i + Setup and turn unit on
* Red bars with "THE SYSTEM IS NOT ABLE TO START UP" and "PLEASE INSERT SWL-CD" are shown
* Insert CD/DVD (I have tried both, burned CD at 10x and DVD at 4x, the slowest I could do)
* System will shut down a few seconds later (but sounds like the drive is still accessing the disc afterwards, nothing shown on screen)

I don't have any maps at this point in time. My plan was to get the firmware installed and then try to get V8 from a dealership. I'm selling the car soon so don't want to invest too much cash into it.

Where are you in QLD I have a V8 sitting in a drawer.

Kamold will come along and help you i guess

Right near Brisbane CBD. Cheers that would be great if I can get the unit up and running
