Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[iran]

It makes sense...

The maps were there.... I just needed to get off the garage and run for a while (5 min) to load again. No need to re-install.

All seem ok, but I had the impression that once the map zoom out. I'll keep looking.

Thanks Kamold

Hi all,

I recently updated my RNS510 to version 5238. After trying numerous times I haven't been able to install the maps back onto the HDD - the unit just won't accept the disk (AUS/NZ Maps V8). I've tried the disk on another vehicle and have been able to successfully update maps (the vehicle wasn't running 5238 however). Today I took the car into the VW dealer and asked them to install the maps on as I gave up trying to figure it out myself. They come up with the same problem and said I'd need to change my firmware version. Are there any known issues with 5238 that won't allow maps to install?

Thanks!

There is not a known issue with respect to maps (at least not with Aus maps).
There are some possible solutions though.
First would be a firmware update that just erases the hard drive contents.
Failing that you can use a 'factory' firmware update which will wipe everything, not preserve any settings like these modified updates.

Okay will try an update. Any recommendations on which firmware to go to? My unit is a 1T0035680C. Maybe the 5269?

[kamold]

5269 is effectively a beta.
I would use a 4020 factory firmware, then update again to 5238.

[haydensmith]

Okay will try that. Can't seem to find a 4020 factory. Would either a 2680 or 2720 factory do the trick?

I'm at a wedding at the moment.
Will try and get an image uploaded for you tomorrow.

I found you cant install the same version map over itself. Found this out way back when we were having fun with V6 not showing streets.

It was the one that had the wrong CRC Got the right one and it wouldnt install. So out of curiosity I tried the V5 I had and it installed OK

So by then I had the good V6 version and it installed OK and fixed the street problem.

Maybe look for a V7 version and try that Used to be floating around

Tried a version of 4020 firmware today to downgrade and had success loading V8 maps! Thanks for your help. Now the question is whether I should try updating to a newer firmware or stick with 4020. Cheers!
