kamold,

I've found a 4020 version which may be suitable for A version units.
Currently downloading it and will attempt to apply it this weekend.
Any chance (if I can get it working on mine) that you can re-organise the partition profile to reflect 90/5/5%?

[kamold]

Yeah I saw that they have done the table swap for 4020 as well.
By all means test it but to be honest I don't know if its worth the trouble...

There are no new features at 402x and haven't really noticed any speed increases as advertised. However it would be worth changing the partition scheme so that you can swap between versions without losing your maps and music.

JohnC has the cable at the moment so he'll have to write the Dlscript.txt file for you for integrate into the firmware image. He's a busy man but he is always very obliging with requests.

You can copy MP3 and WMA files from a CD/DVD to the HDD, but you can't rip an audio CD to it.

H Guys,
VW installed a new RNS in place of the MFD2 in my 07 Jetta. Details are:
Part No: IT0035680C
HW Version: H52
SW Version: 2840
Map Version: 7679
HDD: Partitions: 3

Therefore, from this forum, I understand that I have a "C" version with 2840 firmware and Version 5 Map Data; is that correct?

I would like to update the firmware to 3810 at least and have a CD image disk ready to go. However, my RNS radio when running on battery times out after 30 mins (this is covered on page 6 or so of the RNS booklet in the car's manual.
Will this timing out interfere with a firmware upgrade?
All help appreciated, Roger.

[johnc]

That timing issue won't be a problem when installing the firmware. That's time out is normal and only occurs when nothing is actually happening. You should make sure the battery has a decent charge on it before starting. It can take around an hour to run the updates in some instances. If it dies mid FW install, you will have problems. If you have a charger, connect it while doing to install to ensure that it won't be a problem.

Is there a reason you only want to install 3810 over 4020?

Thanks John,

I got the impression from several VW forums that upgrades need to be done incrementaly, ie, 2xxx - 3xxx - 4xxx, or HDD partitioning became an issue. My 510 doesn't have a Personal poi capability and that is what I am after.
