Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[FJ Steve]

you're not clueless.
Just reading the posts here, you now know more than the dealership.
It sounds like they have downgraded the Firmware version. Older versions would only show the '2 options' in that menu that you spoke of.
Pity you're not in Perth WA.... I'd have you sorted out inside an hour.

Someone will step up and get you back into the game with a more updated firmware etc etc.

Well as I said I’m clueless with things like this, I can only believe what others with more knowledge than me tell me.

To be honest Im not sure they have LOL

I previously had Firmware version 3984, I have no idea what version it is now as I can't check it anymore but it's doing all I need which is the radio, GPS navigation and mirroring from my iphone. I don't need to download/listen to music, watch videos or anything else so I may not need more recent Firmware anyway, and I'm not sure what the newer Firmware versions do that this one doesn't. FJ Steve, thanks for that, if it stops working again I'll send it to you for fixing!

Go to the first post in this thread and download 5328 from the ALTERNATE LINK Here it is for you

the first one doesnt want to work
Put it on a 32gb stick and get a friend with a PC and DVD writer to write the disc. Write it on a SLOW SPEED.

Put it in your unit and go to" update software". Twiddle your thumbs as it does its thing and it will finish off and you will have the latest. Simples You will probably need a new map as I cant remember if it deletes it or not. Havent done one for years.

He will need a (new) map.
The firmware he has now is odds-on a vanilla 2 partition version (HDD).
5238 will partition the HDD into 90/5/5% (wiping the existing map etc)

I'll send old mate a little 'pay it fwd' gift.

Thanks Hillbilly, do I need to write it onto a CD or a DVD?

FW 5238 is 683.8MB. Should be fine on a CD. But considering our other 'conversation' - just get 2 x DVD-r and use those

What are the current maps for New Zealand? I'm helping a guy with firmware 5238 and I'm reading now the maps will be erased.
