Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[YellowLemon]

Thanks for the advice! On my PC in the map disc I edit the original POI.DB3 file using free POIinspector to add custom POI and then burn this custom map disk ... but the RNS510 won't load maps that aren't a newer version ... so I erase the maps first, then load the maps again (this time with the custom POI.DB3 file)

If you get an older version it will revert to that but wont load the same version you have. EG if you have V6 load V5 and then you can go up to V6,7or 8

All you need to do is increment the map version number by one in Poinspect0r eg 8035 to 8036. Then the rns sees it as a new version and will overwrite the existing maps.

Hi I did the firmware update on a H61 H LED version - first time I installed the maps straight after the firmware: this resulted in the system crashing anytime the maps were accessed. The trick was: install firmware, wait for GPS to get a location first (10-20 miuntes - you can check on the GPS status screen you get when pressing the maps button twice), only then insert maps CD for download. Cheers!

Hi All,

Need some help.

Tried updating firmware on my RNS510 to v4120 but it failed about 51% of way through. Now have no radio etc. Looking for help on getting another copy/or loading of the 4120 software so I can finish the update.
Have rebooted but requires the installation to complete before I can get back to normal use.

Regards,

Shayne

Thanks HB.

Not sure on exact version, however it is from a 2010 passat so assumed it would be ok. Tried the secret menu but never got passed the radio menu.

Hopefully I haven't bricked it!

Ok heart palpitations have been averted. Downloaded and loaded the fix and all working. Thanks HB!

New problem is that everything is in German. Even when I go to the system menu and choose English it remains in German.

Load the map....then select "English" as language.

Thanks FJ, tried that but it didn't give me an option to select language during or after it had loaded.
