Rns 510 - no map display - screen white / black - all else works

[kamold]

Yes same disk for skodas, vw

[Guest001]

So far I have tried installing new maps, a firmware update followed by maps and then pulled out the unit and tested with a new GPS antenna. All to no avail, all that I get is no fix on the satellite and the screen GPS showing me as being in Europe.
Has anyone heard if the units just losing the satellite part if their functionality? The car is a 2011 so just out of warranty, do you think Skoda will still look at it without charging an arm or leg.

Unless someone can suggest something I have not tried?

Wonder if its got the Regensburg syndrome

I took it to the Skoda garage and they tried their firmware disc and new maps (for free!) But no luck, still no GPS lock. I have been running the new aerial for a while as the garage suggested it would be the that.
At this stage I might cut my losses and order a new unit, any suggestions for the best place to by a Columbus unit? And also can the vw RNs 510 be used in a Skoda, will it have the same functionality?

And lastly is anyone looking for a perfect condition Columbus unit that does not do GPS....

You are wasting your time taking it to a dealer You get far better help on here off the likes of Kamold etc.

Did you go to the link i posted and read that. Is it what your unit is doing.

As far as has been said on here they are all virtually identical apart from the faceplate surround Maybe the aerial is faulty . You could buy a cheap one off Ebay and try it before buying a new unit.

Yeah I have previously checked that syndrome out but it is not showing those symptoms.
If you mean GPS aerial I have tried 2 different ones plus the factory one in the car.
I followed karmold advice and reburnt the firmware disc with 1x using his recommend app and we tried the factory Skoda firmware disc at the garage.
I have spoke to the local euro car independent workshops as well plus read every link on the first 10 pages of a googles search on RNs 510 no fix/no satellite etc.

Is the an internal module that can be replaced instead of the whole unit? I may google that as last resort.
Thanks for all the ideas so far.

Did you try this

Settings/ factory reset/ scroll down to navigation and navigation memory.

Tick them and press reset

Other than that you could reset the whole unit back to factory from that menu but i guess you would lose all settings and maybe music etc

[kndkris]

Yep done all the resets possible, think I will send it for repair at this stage, guessing the GPS board is screwed.
The difference between it working and not working was a dsg transmission service, I am guessing there is nothing they could have done to screw it up?

I have purchased 2 RNS GPS antenna from these guys and a friend has purchased another also. All perform faultlessly.

get4less_shop on eBay

for the price of an antenna...I'd try that first
