There must be a way to fool it into playing these files!

Yes ... you can fool it by playing them on the ipod/iphone via MDI.

I dont have either of these. Only a HTC Velocity. Theres 27 or so gig of hdd space and a 32g sd card. Surely there must be a way.

Create an audio cd and play it from the DVD slot.

Yeah thats hilarious.

[kamold]

Thats the only way other than via MDI that you can play uncompressed audio.

Ok thanks for that. Although I think its ridiculous, what year are we in?

Bluetooth works very well from my Android (sgs2) phone.

If you've got the RNS510 perhaps this is worth looking into:
Audio DVD Creator - Create your own music DVD and enjoy it on any DVD player!

Looks interesting will give this a try!


Ok guys, thanks to this great thread I managed to revert back to 38xx and then updated to 40xx from the links at the front of this thread with the new partitions. All seems to be working great with V5 maps loaded on hdd etc. I used CDBurnerXP set to 1x and Track at once - I even went out and bought TDK CDR's as someone said they worked well.

Of note is the issue I had at the end of each update. I got this screen...



But after inserting the Unofficial 272x recovery CD the issue was fixed and I got this screen...



So not sure what to think. The unit is working brilliantly, shows speed limits and I even have a cool new Angry Rabbit boot screen I wish would come up more often! Should I be worried that the errors occured for both software updates?

Also the custom boot screen is the only swl update cd that does not give an error at the end of loading. Although if I try to re-boot so I can see my cool new screen I get this...



And it turns itself off, but then I just press the on button and its fine..

This 4020 firmware upgrade, is it seemless on the Skoda Columbus'? I think 1 or 2 upgrades ago two files needed swapping so that either the bluetooth phone or steering controls work properly & just want to make sure that doesn't need to happen again.
