Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[Hillbilly]

For me it doesn't come up. I tried with the ignition on and without the key too.

Some of the experts may be able to help Just wait till they come on. If its a 2010 it should be ok to update to 4120 but best to got to the 3???? one first

needs to be enabled thru 'tweaking' of your SatNav module (either #37 or #56), and to do this, you need a VCDS cable (Ross-Tech). Put a call out to see if someone in your area can drop by, or you see them, to enable the "Secret Menu" (takes no more than 5 minutes).

It came up in mine with 2760???? but secret menu didnt come up until 4120 even after trying with a VCDS on39???

Hi,
I tried to check the firmware version of my RNS510, but after pressing the Setup button and holding it only the FM and AM buttons came up in the service menu, no version button.
Does it mean I have a very old firmware, right? Which fw version would be safe for me?

Hi petec

Try to keep on pressing, don't leave the button when the am fm appears.

I am on fw version 2720. I have downloaded both the 3810 and 4120. I am thinking of upgrading to 4120. Seems that 3810 will do a repartition to create 2 partitions but 4120 installs on the one partition (the same as 2720). Does anyone know is the RNS 510 needs to be recoded after 4120 upgrade?

4120 uses the same 3 partition scheme as 3810.
Existing coding is preserved.

Should I take a 2 step approach, to 3810 first and then 4120 or should I upgrade from 2720 to 4120 ? In view of how long the process, I am inclined to do the latter.

Nothing to be gained by doing it in steps.

Just upgraded my 'A' Unit to 3810 and V6 maps from 2760 and V4 maps.

The firmware went well, had trouble with the maps. Took 3 attempts to get a DVD that it would read properly. Had the 'lack of detail' problem on 1, the 'keeps reloading' on the second and the third was good.

There is a comment about the map being slow on 3810 'A' Units. It was slow under the 'lack of detail' problem but now it has loaded properly it seems fine. If yours is slow, I suggest reburning and reloading the maps.

Also, it seems the Regensburg Syndrome has gone away. Just when I start the car it is pointing in the wrong direction (north) but the map shows up immediately. Has anyone else experienced this? I thought I read in a thread somewhere that it was resolved in 3810 and found a thread where the poster said it wasn't.

It will load like that till it first picks up the satellites and gets its true position in the world, then should be Ok Mine did that but has ben ok after I went for a drive for a couple of K's till it found where it was
