Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[kamold]

More information required.
Which firmware are you loading to what unit running what firmware?
Also what software did you use to make the cd/dvd and what settings?
It more than likely just a media error.

Error Code 010303 usually means this:

A SWL error occured and now the maximum SWL Error Count has been reached. SWL is now blocked until a power cycle is initiated using the following
<SETUP> + <MIC> + <EJECT>"

I have a C unit in my MY11 R, and I've upgraded to 3870 (beta) so far (upgrading to 4020 when I get around to it).

In the MY11.5 vehicles onwards, a mute button for the optical parking system (OPS) was introduced - this is a soft button on the RCD/RNS touch screen.

Does anyone know if the 39XX/40XX firmware and/or VCDS coding can add this feature for an MY11 or earlier system? Love my OPS/RVC but trying to back up when I have a sleeping child in the back is problematic as I don't want the beeping to wake them!

Thanks for any assistance!

Not sure what firmware revisions it is available in but I would assume all of them? - there is a mute button on the RNS510 screen when the OPS is enabled by selecting reverse or using the physical OPS button (where installed). Its in the bottom right corner I think from memory. Has a picture of a speaker or some such...

Thanks for your response - it is definitely not there on the 3870 I am running, but that is a beta version that was only released around the time the MY11.5 changes were announced (end of 2010) so it may not have incorporated the mute function.

I will try and find time over the weekend to upgrade and will post the results - I have been looking into this for a while, but searching for terms like RNS 510 OPS parking mute gets a lot of results that are not relevant to what I am after.

Bottom right icon.
Running 4020 fw I also have the physical P button however that turns the whole ops system on and off not just mute.

Yup - missing that button, have the P button but as you say it turns off OPS and RVC. Do you have C or D rev hardware? If you have C rev then I am optimistic that the upgrade will deliver for me.

[kamold]

Interesting. Let us know if fw upgrade does the trick otherwise ill look through vcds to see if there might be an option somewhere. Doesn't make sense to be a hardware limitation.

So it is not (just) firmware, now running 4020 with no mute option. Most likely VCDS coding will enable it, but I guess there is still the possibility it is hardware related somehow (VW DRM - feature only present if correct hardware detected?).

Seems really pointless to have that disabled via coding...I'll have to look in my coding to see if I can find any mention of it. Will let you know if I find something.
