How to re-partition the HDD in your RNS510

[Capy]

Please keep an eye on this thread:

There will be an updated solution for European users soon...

Thank you, I didn't see that thread.

Is there any place where I can learn how to modify the firmwares correctly?

You need some software. Its not free.
If you are interested, contact josi on the vwnavi forums.

Ups, ok

I asked to improve my knowledge, as I said there are some people in my club that installed the version 90/5/5 and now they have troubles with the maps, so I wanna help them. But if the version for europe is actually cooking I'll wait for it.

However I would like to learn.

Thank you!

Hi, I ran into a problem the other day trying to update the maps in my RNS 510. It looks like the new v9 maps are quite large in size and will not fit on the 30GB drive. I believe the WEU map size is around 8 GB, which even the regular 50/25/25 ratio will not fit. Is there any way to repartition the drive so that the maps will fit?

Thanks

I would be suprised if VW in Europe would make such a big mistake...

Yes it is possible to change the ratios, but only with a custom firmware load or some special software and cable hooked up directly to the RNS510.

If it is the case that the new maps are no longer compatible with 30GB HDDs and standard partitions I can make a firmware image that uses perhaps 60/35/5. Then you should have ~10GB for maps.
