Wanted to upgrade the firmware on my RNS510 but there seems to be lots of recent updates and versions and was wondering what was the best version to use.
The RNS510 is in a Golf GTI Pirelli and has never been updated so I would like to add the latest problem-free firmware.
Thanks in advance
FW 2760 and read here for reason:

But work out what you have first, as might otherwise be a waste of time.
How do I determine which I have B,C or D? or what version I am running without VAGCOM?
Mate ... I don't like your chances of making this happen!
Here's link to thread re enabling secret menu:
http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...tml#post686065
You can find out HW and SW version via accessing that menu!
Also I hope you do realise you just might lose the data on HDD (depending on which version you're coming from).
So don't even think about it if you haven't got a map disk (as insurance).
Nevertheless, good luck!
P.S. suggest you do more advanced searches on this sub-forum!
Thanks.
Dont use the HDD and got the original nav disk so im ready!!
I don't use POIs so don't really care... I went with 3810.
I just basically want faster screen response and more functionality with as few bugs as possible. I dont care for POIs either. Just dont want to load some buggy version in there ;-)
Most of the new functionalities are all about POIs.Quote:

P.S. Definitely will lose map when moving to any FW 3xxx version for the first time!
Ok. So I gather its as simple as downloading it and putting it on a disk and running the disk in the unit?
I dont need to worry about what version my RNS510 is?? Such as B,C or D?
There is instructions/links on my-gti, I followed them and all good. Although it now thinks my C is a D.Quote:

It's just an illusion!Quote:

Well just burnt 3810 to a DVD-R and unlocked car and turned the unit on and put the disk in and it said reading disk and then gives an unreadable DVD/CD error message!!
Any ideas??
I had the same problem, have to burn the nrg file and mount as an ISO using nero. If that doesn't work tryQuote:

Burn at slow speed also.
That worked a treat!!:banana:
I'm on 2660. I have a Skoda Bluetooth 1Z0035729B. i notice all of the entries after 2660 have a warning about the bluetooth. Have people had any success or is it definitely not going to work?
Do the newer versions change the screen colours or anything? There seems to be scant information about what the changes actually deliver.
Added 3810 and now wife says that about every 4 minutes the radio stops working!!
Any ideas??
Reloaded the software with 3810 and the radio still switches off after about 6 or so minutes. Have had the radio lock up and also lose volume control. To fix it I had to disconnect the battery.
Ive tried to downgraded but with no success.
Can anyone help with the procedure to down graded and which is the most stable version to use?? I gather it is in the 2*** ranged of firmware!
Thanks
Mate ... I warned you in the very first reply you received in your thread! :rolleyes:
I also said FW 2760!
I have now put the very latest beta on their and if this fails me hopefully the unit will allow me to down grade to 2760!!

I gather the downgrade button in the secret menu works without a hitch??? Im currently downloading 2760 ;-)
2760 now installed and problems have gone away!!
Now how do I change the colours???
I want to upgrade my firmware as well, but no VAGCOM and no pc, just a mac... I downloaded and burned the DVD at recommended speed, however still not working...
i use mac but you must burn the data as a disk image and it will work fine
Thanks... I just did the upgrade to 2760 via Volkswagen RNS 510 Firmware Upgrade to version 2760 / 2762 / 2764 / 2766 / 2768 | my-gti.com
The upgrade was a success, I did it through an image burn...
A few of the settings has returned to normal, however, as far as I can see there is nothing wrong....
HOWEVER, the main reason for my upgrade was to play SD card... as I have bought a 8gb SD card, I've never played the SD card on my system before, so i'm not sure if it is the card? or the system... I upgrade the firmware, however still can't play SD card, i think it is not recognising the card at all, no error message, just not reading the card...
So i'm not sure what is wrong... here are some info (after pressing and holding the setup button)...
Delivery port number - 1T0035680C
HW-Version - H03
SW-Version - 2760
SV SW-Version - C_EU9.242_t520
HW Vehicle - 0xC201
Could it be the card?? format??
any help would be great :)
Probably file format!Quote:

Thanks for that
It was originally FAT32, reformatted to FAT32 again, still RNS510 is not recognising the SD card... :(Quote:

Bump... i still can't get my 8GB SD card to work on my RNS-510 after an upgrade to 2760 firmware... any ideas? I've formatted the SD card to fat32 on a PC and a MAC, tracks are mp3s... still not working...
Anyone out there got it working when using a MAC? and 2760 firmware?
Strange indeed!Quote:

Maybe just load a few songs and with no subfolders first, to see if it makes a difference.
I borrowed a friend's 2GB SD card... and it works!!! I purposely formatted exactly the same as the 8GB SD card and have the same songs and folders etc.Quote:

Well that says (to me) there's something wrong with your card or formatting and not the unit.
Anyhow perhaps I think it's time to give up on this particular card of yours!
The card is brand new... it's the same brand as the 2GB one... it is formatted the exact same way for both cards with the same computer, same music as well... I know the unit is probably not a problem... but i'm guessing it is the firmware? 2760?Quote:
