RNS Firmware upgrade to 3xxx

[Ryan_R]

hehe, I still haven't reloaded all my music yet. I forget where I'm up to (can only fit so much onto my 8GB SDHC card)

I finally decided to jump onto the bandwagon..updated to unmodified 3810 from 2720.

But this is odd, my v4.1 maps were still intact without needing to re-install it. All my settings were still there. Very strange!

Before the update, I installed v4.1 maps over my v3 on my fw2720 Hw41 ver C. After enabling the secret menu through VCDS, my HDD shows 3 partition on a 2720 which I thought was odd.

I got my RNS replaced after a theft case involving my RNS being ripped out (long story!)...I had the new boot screen at first, but after enabling my Dynaudio, the splash screen went back to the old pic with the Dyn logo.

I'm thinking that my RNS is actually formatted with 3 partitions but running 2720. Any ideas?

I stlll hv a problem where it started after updating to V4.1 maps; my location is always a few metres behind the actual even at static mode (stopped)..some forum readings tells me about some compass signal issue but think it was only for US ver?

Today I went for a drive to get a fix on the Gps satelites, i noticed after getting a full fix (~6/8 sats) and making a turn, the car turns into the road on the screen but the map doesn't turn together. The map rotates (points forward) after a few sec. Any suggestions? It was working fine with V3 maps and 2720.

I've got a version C with firmware 38xx and 4.1 maps and have a little lag - guess that's why the newer versions of the RNS have faster processors now.

From memory 3810 doesn't actually re-format the HDD.

So that explains why you don't lose anything.


The lag is normal for C units since we're all punching above our weight on 3XXX series FW.

ah....FW3810 does format the HDD. I installed it last weekend...lost music and maps

[Ryan_R]

If he already had 3 partitions there was no need to format.

So I shouldn't be so concern then since most of the C ver is doing the same. I thought it was something to do with the maps.
But my car is still behind on the map (maybe 10-20m) even stationary at a junction.

Does this happen to yours as well?

[Ryan_R]

Yep, notice it when going under overpasses on the freeway.

[revivor]

Look like I'll need getting some use to..
Thanks for that!

it shouldn't b behind when stationary!!

while moving, yes, bit of a lag, but once stationary its spot on.
then again, i'm still on version 2724 (272x series).

wish it was the otherway - spot on while moving, rather than when stationary!!
