Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[mackaxx]

Hi mate - you need to make a FORMAT DISK which will wipe the mp3 HDD and/or MAPS partitions .. no need to redo the firmware. Then you can reinstall the maps and mp3 as required.

Find the CD ISO here: Volkswagen RNS 510 Firmware Upgrade and Information | my-gti.com

The use imgburn to burn it as a UDF disc (not iso966)

Good luck

Thanks, found it. Thanks for that will try this morning.

No good, might have to find an older software version or the same one as posted here but with default partitions. Annoying

On page 33 of the RNS510 manual it tells you how to delete tracks from the HDD so if you know the one thats corrupted perhaps you could just delete it

Can't access any menus, the thing just hangs, plays half the offending track and resets. So some specfics about the HD wiping link I was given, I can successfully get it to boot to the disk but I get a SWL error once I get to what would normally be the install screen. Could this be linked to issues with the burn process of something else?

Anyway, finding an older version that I'm confident to use is proving to be a bit of a challenge, lots of dead links.

Cheers, will that have the same partition sizes though, different should force the wipe? I'll give it a go regardless, maybe the HDD format CD will work with this version.

Thanks Again

You could always load the recovery Cd from first page of this thread and start again That 4120 d/load takes about 50 mins

Link didn't work, I might have a hunt for the file elsewhere though whilst I wait on this download

The 4120 does work The forum the recovery disk is on is down

Grabbed it and installed, and huzzah, we have a clear hard drive. I'll upgrade back up to the newer version and install my music, minus the offending file. It was a WMA incidentally. Thanks for the handy link, was dreading the 2 hours to Sydney and back music and podcast free.

Great timing having this issue whilst the forum hosting the recovery disk was done but alls well
