RNS510 Firmware Upgrade to Version 3810 Anyone?

**aussietig** · 21-05-2011, 10:43 AM

Just wondering whether anyone with a RNS510 version C or earlier have done the above FW upgrade?

More particularly, any feedback as to whether this version still works with our Australian V3 map or even modified ones with personalised POIs.

Can find overseas examples that confirm that it works, but with European V7.0 & 7.1 maps. But can't find any aussie confirmations.

Anyone?

I have an RNS510 version C which I've upgraded to 3930. I'm using the V3 Australian maps which still work.

No observed problems so far, knock on wood. I haven't personalised any POIs.

Thanks mate!

That's reassuring to know that it's possible to go even higher!

I'll settle for 3810 for now.

Did you have to reinstall the maps?

Just finished the upgrade!

Can confirm I lost map and music on HDD. Not a big deal as have original map and music via MDI.

Everything else seems to have stayed the same (e.g. radio & other non-Sat Nav settings) and no adverse impacts on MFD and steering buttons.

However it appears that I have no POIs whatsoever, even the ones supplied on the map disk.

Did you have this problem nhand42?

No, the maps somehow survived, even though the instructions said the maps are deleted by the upgrade.

Lucky me.

The POI button is grayed out on mine. I've never had a satnav before so didn't realise this feature was supposed to work.

So that's a bit of a bummer.

Well unfortunately for me, no success. Definitely lost the basic POIs supplied on the V3 map disk.

Haven't been able to reload any POIs back via the DB3 SD card route either (using POInspect0r).

Have rolled back to 2760 for now!

Well to me ... that's a FAIL in terms of upgrading the FW!

But thanks for confirming the same outcome.
