Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[Felixrising]

Yes, the model number must match... Mine is the 1T0035680D, 680 is the Australia/NZ version, so I wouldn't touch it unless the version matches the description. There are a few people who asked the question regarding this specific version and some answers saying, you can do it anyway... I'll PM them to ask how they fared.

I have been testing 5238 for some time.
No enhancements or changes worth mentioning.
If you simply MUST have later firmware on your unit because you like to fistpump every time you upgrade and don't brick you unit, PM and I will send you a link with firmware modified for Aus.

Otherwise stick with 4120 as you won't notice anything. This is why I haven't made it available. Risk for no reward.

Does it seem more responsive?
Any idea what the 'Automatic illumination control' is, compass worth mentioning?

Its got as late as you need most only use 4120 and its a bit more than just a "Radio"

Yours has a different model number to most RNS models so 5238 probably is latest

Latest map is 7920 or V7 available at your friendly Stealer for about $55

No. These features are from earlier updates.
The list is like a complete changelog since initial release, not the current version.
Compass has been in there since 2600 firmware, auto dimming perhaps even earlier.

I was just poking around and noticed the HWDAB field populated... 255 looks like 11111111 in binary, which I guess could mean nothing present or something present... No idea... What does yours show?





Also, I was copying some music from a music folder on sdcard to hdd, but I noticed after copying that it seems to have eliminated the music folder and moved the album folders to the root of the hdd... Is this typical or did I miss something along the way... How else do you do a bulk import?

Also, I saw somewhere that rev D onwards (C10/C11/C12) supports bigger 2TB SDXC cards... but no support in software it would seem.. FAT64/exFAT seems to be missing I guess.

If you read through the thread (Its a good idea) I think in one of Kamolds posts he said the 255 means IT DOESNT HAVE DAB
From GTI Forum
The version tested to work here in Australia is the 1T0035686C (1T0 035 686 C) with a Hardware Level of HW:09 and running software level 5238. This unit is a stock RNS 510 with LED screen, 40GB hard drive and is the latest available model from Volkswagen.

Only the above has DAB C and a D most definitely DONT. Mine is a C and when you put the 4120 in it changes to appear as a D but in fact is still a C Its all in the thread if you care to read it

I have a 40g HDD and a 32g SD card and I just play the music off that because it took 2 hours for the HDD to load about 10G of music in MP3 Format. It loaded each track one at a time and took a long time to do each one They are all in the root directory, about 3500 of them

[Felixrising]

You're right, I ought to use that search function

I wasn't going to leave a SD in there, but I'm thinking it might just be a good idea after all

[Guest001]

You dont need to search just start on page 1 and work through it Thats how we have learnt, Its all there.

Same questions all the time when its all there already.
