Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[Kiaorana]

Guys, I need your opinion.

I just bought my dream car, a 2011 mk 6 GTI.

I want to update the firmware of my RNS 510 but I'm not sure which one I should get as my unit doesn't match anything from the front page.

This is what I have:
HW: H55
SW: 3970
1T0 035 680 D

What do you think?

Thanks heaps.

hey guys, first off Happy New Year!

now, I am updating my wifes maps and firmware but the secret menu doesnt work. I went into VCDS and changed the diag mode to 1 from 0 and still can't get the menu up. Anyway these are the details from VCDS
VAG Number: 3T0 035 680 A
Component: RNS-MID H41 2854
Shop #: Imp:790 WSC 73430

now according to the post at the start it means I should use 4xxx firmware but is this going to be slow? isn't my unit an A model?

It's not an A unit, yes you can use 4120. A, B, C rev etc only refer to Vw golf/polo/tiguan etc parts so a bit of a misnomer.

My C unit didn't have the secret menu either until I upgraded the firmware from the original similar version to yours

I had the get a late 3???? to get it to appear then went to 4120

yeah when I hold the setup button all I get is that radio diag screen that shows the aerial strength etc.

I'll update later today and report back.

quick question... do the new maps from here include a stock set of POI or must i load custom ones?

Has the POI that come with the maps you buy at stealers of course as its a "Copy" read first post for custom POI with about 300 POI in it

Yesterday updated to firmware version 412x on my 4/12 build Superb.
What changes should I find compared to my previous 38xx(?) Version? Sure I read somewhere about a second navigation voice option but no idea how to find / select it. Don't think I lost my map data however I did re install v5 since I was not sure that I would be able to load v6 maps into a unit which had already had v6 maps installed.
Any tips great fully received!

Not much really

There is a male voice found by going to settings in the Nav and looking for it

It arrived with 4120 Firmware You can update to V6 if you have V5 as you would have lost map data with the firmware update.
