ANS-810 / ANS-510 (PROPER RNS-510 alternative)

[DkN]

I'm sure that's already been fixed, but I think that was in an experimental version of the firmware I received just before I left. Don't have to worry about that one

[DSGVW]

When is the newest firmware coming out? I remember you saying they were just sending you some links and it was good to go right? Over the weekend a possibility?

[DkN]

I've already received the firmware for BT 20120405, just waiting on 20111115 so I can send both out together.

Will the update include the fixes with the way long tracks are handled? I have brought it up in the past, whenever I play tracks that are long (i.e 2hr dj sets), the ANS doesn't let me skip through to certain parts of the set, and it loses its place in the set if I switch to phone mode and back to music, very frustrating and the "Fast forward" feature is of no use as its too slow.

Hey DkN.. in the recent firmware they sent me. There's ASP network settings for 3G dongle and there's a browser page too... I tried but they're not working yet. Are they going to release this for actual 3G usage in the next firmware too?

@jitwei
Can you post up a screen shot like the one above to show your new firmware numbers please?
Mine is the same as above.

Thanks Bazzle

Just applied the new FW update.
Improvements in iPod are good.
You can now browse Album, Artist, Genre, Composer (!) and Songs.
Once playing back you get long names displayed .
Sometimes the track/album/artist names don't refresh but it's a massive step forward.
iPod browsing stops at top level; ie you can now select an Artist or Genre, but you can't then choose an Album within an artist, it just treats all the songs as a flat list and proceeds to play the first one. Would be nice to choose an album as well as play the whole lot.


Similarly with USB/SD you now get a similar set of playback info as new iPod (Track, Album, Artist), except that the track name is in fact the file name rather than the ID3 tag track name.
The browsing experience is not the same as iPod but is OK.

Browse timeout has been removed completely which is a massive improvement.

Still no RANDOM/SHUFFLE on iPod.
Still no PLAYLIST on iPod.
Still no quick way of navigating up or down a list quickly, just one page at a time.
Still drops '0's from iPod playack times.
No changes to radio functionality, ie RDS station name only shown on preset button.
No change in MFD functionality, ie still basically nothing.

Not tried Phone or BT audio yet.

Everything seems quicker, though I can't see the RVC appearance speed increase.
Overall a good step forward but still needs a few things tidied up before it's fisnished.

I tried to have my son watch a DVD while I was driving last night. Got to the DVD menu screen but when we tried to play the movie we got a "PROHIBIT" displayed along the top of the screen and it would not play. I am assuming this is a security feature so the driver doesn't get distracted?? Is there a way to override this, I have no interest in viewing my young son's videos and it would be nice to have this distraction for him while we are on a longer driving trip. I understand the safety angle but would like to know if there is a possibility to override...or am I simply not operating things properly to begin with??
