Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[articuno1_au]

7920 is V6 latest is V8 Are you sure about the SW no as 5238 is latest most are running

However if its a brand new car it could be right and have the latest DAB+ board in it

Doubtless Kamold will come on and get it right for me

Absolutely certain. I took photos to make sure when I was checking

Thanks for the info

I believe a tweak to the firmware CD enabled the second secret menu. You could pry the plastic fascia off and remove the T20 screws and pull the head unit out to reveal all he various ID numbers on the sticker. Or wait for kamold

I'm not that brave tbh. I am brave enough to wait for Kamold.. Speak of the devil.

That's a brand new ssd based unit. You can enable secret menu with vcds.

Shall do. Would this guy support DAB+?

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Not if it was factory installed. They are available aftermarket from Europe but are more expensive than regular units

Just a quick follow up guys.

The dealership I bought my car from is telling me that I already have the latest maps and that everything is up to date.

They also told me they updated the headunit software, but they've indicated they flashed the version I already had.

This obviously flies in the face of what you guys have said. I just wanted to check with you all as I don't really trust my dealership :/

Thanks in advance for any help

this.
In respect of dealerships and their knowledge and resources for the RNS, like John Snow in G.o.T. they "know nothing".

For firmware, they do not have the resources, nor do they know how to apply them.

Hold the setup button in until a screen comes up with "Version information" on it Press that

Take a picture of it and post it on here.

Then we can tell you what you have.

The latest firmware on here is modified to give different partitions for more music so wont be added by any dealer.

If you have an SSD based unit with 6000 series firmware on it, do not downgrade to 5238.
I will eventually get around to modifying and uploading an image for these units.

Is there a download of the 6xxx firmware somewhere?

[kamold]

There is on gpsunderground but I haven't modified it yet with custom partition ratios etc

Hi all, first of all - many thanks for the detailed data on updating firmware for the RNS 510. Went through about 8 CDs, and DVD's before it finally recognised a properly burned iso. After the update I've noticed that I'm now missing the Nav and Audio pages on my MFA however. A quick google search suggests I need to recode via VCDS in order to get the data back.

Should I take it to the dealer to get this done??
