VW map update for RNS510

[Mantis]

The thread that says 'LOOK HERE FIRST'

Could you please point me in the direction of this thread? I've tried searching, but had no luck.

I also need to update firmware and don't have the map cd. For some reason my rns has just started not playing dvd's, comes up and says wrong region code???

Where did you buy your RNS from If its a Euro one its a different region code to AUS which is region 4 or you are playing a different DVD to usual which is region coded Most arent these days unless it came from overseas

You need to know the version before updating firmware so go to the sticky in the Audio forum

Thanks Hillbilly..

Vehicle was purchased from Barloworld VW (2011 Tiguan) with RNS510 already installed in April its Version is 1T0035680C.

As I said, all our DVD's were working fine, then I tried the other night while waiting for the missus to finish work and none of them would work?? DVD's are genuine, not copies and all are Region 4....

The missus did say the RNS shut itself down the other day while she was driving, but started up again after she turned it back on with no issues at all, I'm now thinking this could be where the problem started.

Thanks for all your help Hillbilly, dvd is in the car updating firmware as we speak.

Hopefully that fixes the issue...

[I@ Mantis:- If you check the region code in your unit, you may find it has reverted to its factory setting.
Mine (installed by Barloworld prior to delivery) thought it was in China and wouldn't play most legal discs — home burnt ones without region code were fine.
Barloworld at that time (2009) didn't know how to fix it (or didn't want to, said they'd let me know but I heard no more from them) — had to do it myself (easy with VCDS.)

[Mantis]

Hmmm, so chances are a simple firmware update won't fix it....

What is the VCDS you speak of? I'm pretty new to the whole VW jargon, ask me anything related to a Subaru and I'm in my comfort zone, but speaking VW is a totally different language to me.

Vcds consists of a cable and program from ross-tech.com It plugs into the connector above the accelerator and lets you set the modules and systems in the car. It also lets you see fault codes and reset them. If you set DVD region to 0 you can play any DVD.
