Replacing RNS 510 with RCD 330+

Hi everyone. Sorry to those that have PM'd but got no reply - I've been mega busy the last few days. Okay so firmware...

This firmware will upgrade 187B units with Carplay to Android Auto (replacing Baidu Carlife). This has only been tested on units with the hardware version 534 so if you choose to try this update on any other HW versions then you do so at your own risk. That being said, i can't see why this wouldn't work on any of the 187B models. As always, do this update with the ignition on and be sure to let the update process complete without interruption. If you are asked for a code on restart just use 0000.

Just whack this firmware on a USB stick as is - don't extract the .tar file.

Enjoy.

I can't seem to get it to load on my unit. It says: "No data available. Please insert a source or check the source"

Steps that I took:
1) Loaded the file onto a FAT32 USB
2) Inserted USB into the head unit and clicked on "update software"

Maybe the issue is a corrupted file? I tried to extract it and its showing data error messages. Do you mind trying to reupload it?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Just in case you haven’t, you actually have to click and hold the setup button for around 5 seconds. It’ll then take you to a new menu in which you select Software update/versions, then Update software, then select the Release (e.g. std_plus_pss-6.5......).

In saying that it didn’t work for me personally. It says Error: Variant conflict. I have hardware 534 and currently software 5314.

I should also mention thanks Bubba for sharing the link!

It’s a pity it doesn’t work for me. Anyone have any ideas what the Error: Variant conflict message might mean?

Thanks for pointing that out. I tried it again and I'm now receiving the same error message. :(

Okay, So I can confirm that the firmware posted above works perfectly and adds Android Auto on the RCD330 plus (No Name Version)

The whole process takes about 2-3 mins.

Instructions to install this are

1. Download and put on to a USB stick
2. Plug into the head unit, turn on and hold the setup button for 5 secs
3. Select software update and pick the file on the USB
4. Wait. Mine hung for about a min at 5% then on 40% for about 15-30secs.
5. Head unit will reboot. Done

For anyone that has issues, try another USB stick.
Also make sure you have the no name version not the Desay version. I don't believe there is any update for the Desay versions (maybe in the future).

If you're still having issues maybe you've been sold the desay version not the no name version.

My hardware version was 534
and software version was 5314

There are 4 languages included. For me english is enough.

Hey guys.

Thanks bubba for the link to the firmware update, I have been successful with my installation, I have both a Apple and Android phone (one personal one work phone), both are working fantastic with the head unit.

I have a gripe though, my OEM RVC doesnt seem to want to work in my MK6 Golf GTI. I have changed the code in VCDS so now it comes up with the reverse camera when I select reverse, however the screen is blank, which eventually goes to saying that the camera is not available at the time. I have a converter which goes from the 26 pin connector to the blue little connector, with a ACC+ going out. This has a fuse holder on it so I plugged it into the interior fuse box. However, this still gives me a blank screen.

This is the adaptor I bought from EBay:

Any ideas guys?

Sorry if this is telling you how to suck eggs, but did you also connect the ground wire to an earth point?

Which circuit did you use in the fuse box?
Does that circuit actually have an active switched 12v supply?
Is the fuse plugged in the right way up?

What is in the link on the end of the power wire is an 'add-a-fuse' which is meant to piggyback off an existing circuit such as the 12v accessories fuse (cigarette lighter) and then you plug the existing fuse into the second fuse holder in your add-a-fuse

All good, but sorry if mine is similar in a tone:

"Did you also connect the ground wire to an earth point?"
- There's actually no ground wire

"Which circuit did you use in the fuse box?"
- I plugged it both into the cigarette lighter fuse and also tried the radio fuse

"Does that circuit actually have an active switched 12v supply?"
- Well I assume so, not sure why you'd have a fuse adaptor otherwise

"Is the fuse plugged in the right way up?"
- Yeah man, it's in there tighter than Mike Tyson and my friendship

- Wait, you just asked me "Does that circuit actually have an active switched 12v supply?", sorry but what?

Hello everyone

I have a 2006 Škoda Octavia II (the Golf MK5's Škoda cousin)

I have a Skoda columbus head unit in my car (the VW RNS 510's Škoda cousin :P )

My car has a factory fitted DSP with the 12-speaker sound system. Here is a picture of the DSP:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru.../cDy4ycY-1.jpg

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru.../TEDftuL-1.jpg

I have read through the entire thread and I am ready to pull the trigger on an RCD330 with android auto, but I just wanted to make sure it will work with my car's DSP - I have read that people have managed to get it working with Dynaudio / Fender sound systems by disconnecting and re-connecting the battery - will this trick also work for my car? My hope is that since the RCD330 works with the VW sound systems, it can work with skoda's as well?

Here are the coding values I have applied to my Columbus to get it working with the DSP

BYTE 1: 02 Skoda Sound System (CAN DSP)

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...dVB8Ppng-1.jpg

BYTE 2: 00 Sound System (active speakers)
http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...O2Noopng-1.jpg

BYTE 4: 01 Speaker Monitoring: Inactive (Sound System)

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...VSZsJpng-1.jpg

BYTE 5: 01 Equalization: Seat Altea (5P) / Skoda Octavia (1Z)http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...PQU9Apng-1.jpg

My concern is BYTE 1:

the skoda sound system is marked as CAN DSP, while the VW/Dynaudio/Fender sound-systems are marked as BAP DSP - dunno what this entails

Your inputs are greatly appreciated

Here is an autoscan of my car if it is of help (truncated to show the radio and sound system modules as not able to post it fully due to character limit):
