RNS 510 wouldn't start up

[ian]

I went to Bowral to day and used the GPS in conjunction with the radio,when i arrived i switched off the car for a couple of hours when i returned and started the engine the
RNS510 stayed blank and i couldn't get it to work, But after traveling a couple of KM it started up by its self.I was starting to think it might of been a fuse .
I drove back home over 100km it it went as expected with no dramas ?
Has this happened to any body else ?

Hasn't happened to me yet.
Once i had the RNS not read the SD card.
A quick 4 button reset fixed that problem though.


Other than that my only issue is the 1-2 minute wait to find itself for navigation, and the fact that mix will not stay selected when you choose a song to play.

Excuse my ignorance but how do you do a 4 button reset ?
thanks

It used to be presing all 4 buttons on top of the system would reset it, now it's only 3
See below:

Try pressing the top 2 buttons on the left < > and the one on the far top right with the (i) on it 3 buttons at the same time it will do a reset on the Module it wont reset any data though screen will go blank for 30secs then if dont come back on press on button try that see how it goes

Was the car left in the sun??
Unit could have overheated and waited until it cooled down??

Had a similar thing happen to me a month or so ago. Drove down to the local Bunnings, all OK. Got back in the car, RNS dead - no radio, no OPS, nothing. Tried turning the ignition off and back on again; still no action.
Couldn't have been heat related, as was an underground carpark, and a coolish day.
Anyway, drove 10 minutes up the road; ducked into another store for about 10 minutes; start the car, and all back to normal. Haven't had a problem since.
Ain't technology wonderful!
