Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[singlefished]

Well... running in the FW4020 update now..... the first 2 disks ejected with errors but the 3rd has stayed in. No instructions popped up on the screen and the screen is really, really, really dim.

The CD seems to be spinning and whirring and you can just make out a VW logo in the top left of the screen. It's been going 20 minutes now so will go downstairs to check it out in about half an hour.

Is the dim screen (almost not even on) normal or am I just lucky???

Doesnt sound right and its usually done on a DVD. There is a menu it goes through at normal brightness If you go back through the thread they are pictured doing it in its various stages
You should write it as slow as possible using Imageburn to be successful It usually takes an hour but shows on the screen what it is doing

well.... it had problems

managed to get it to boot up but no audio..... going into the secret menu there is now no Delivery part number or SW-Version.

Will try a DVD this time on another PC...

Success!!! Of sorts... Couldn't get a 4020 disc working and thought I'd bricked the thing as the radio was kaput even though it booted up properly.

Put the old RCD310 in and thought I'd have to have the RNS510 updated externally maybe next weekend.

Decided after dinner to try one last time with different images so downloaded 2760 and 3810.

Back down to the garage, removed the 310 and connected up the 510....2760 disc didn't work so tried 3810 - Bingo! It started loading properly!!!

A very nervy hour later it's all installed and running sweet!

Don't think I'll bother going to 4020.... had enough excitement already

Will get POI's installed next weekend.

I'm getting a cd/DVD error. Please check cd/dvd

I've burnt it to 3 DVDs and one cd

From a Mac if that makes a difference

It probably will Look back through the thread to see what Mac users have done to get it to work.

Hi Guys, I have just upgraded my B Version RNS510 to firmware 5238 (modifed by josi) and it works beautifully. However after running the modified partition version of 3810 I was a little miffed when it reset my partition sizes back to default. Is there any likelyhood of an AU-3 Partition version poping up here anytime soon, or is there a way to make my own modified version (prefer not to)?

You can get it from the rnsfirmware server, if you can't find it I can pm you. It's not linked, you should just be able to work it out from the location of the others. Can browse the directory.

Tried but got lost, can you pm me the link pls

Just like to pass on my thanks to Kamold for his help today. Firmware 5238 now loaded on my Version A Touareg. Everything works and nothing broken.

Kind regards
Stuart.
