RNS 510 stuck in german, Reverse camera and media unit not working.

So I took it in and they replaced the entire unit. Warranty job, so free of charge. Everything works well, except - the new unit seems quieter than before. I usually had the audio level at around 20% for a comfortable listening volume. Now it needs to be at nearly 60%! The first 10% of audio level is virtually silent.
..

needs to be recoded with VCDS as settings set for line out (to connect to amp/dynaudio) rather than speaker out.

Thanks guys - i dont have access to VAGS so I'm not sure about enabling that secret menu. Am fairly computer savvy but am a bit hesitant to start updating firmware versions quite yet.

Will take it back in and mention the VCDS settings to the service centre (who said there was nothing wrong - they said the new RNS units are quieter).

The thing is all this was working fine a few days ago. Do these units occasionally "reset" themselves and revert to default settings (ie german, no cam installed, no interface with MFD)?

Replacing the entire unit seems extreme - which is what the service centre did the last time this failed.

Thanks again for all the advice.

So.

They ended up replacing the entire unit. They tried everything - reinstalling firmware didnt help. Could have been 2 faulty RNS-510s. The faulty one has been sent back to VW for investigation.

Auf Wiedersehen!
