Guys,
I stupidly attempted to update firmware in my 2009 Golf GTI RNS510 satnav. I have bricked it. The screen is no longer responsive to touch. Furthermore it is also constantly on so draining my car battery. I am in a right mess and need help. VW have quoted a sum of £2200 for a new RNS510.
I have already decided I'll be selling the car (not related). However I need to remedy this issue. I guess I have three options:
1) replace unit with another RNS510
2) replace unit with a cheaper RCD 510
3) replace with aftermarket unit
I don't need the hassle or stress so want something which will swap over easily and ensure all steering wheel buttons and the MFD works as previous.
Can anyone please offer some advice on how best to proceed? Is there any well respected installers/vendors in my location (Hartlepool / Teeside) who can help?
Will Vagcom or anything else complicated be needed or can I make a straight swap with any of the options above?
Learned a valuable lesson not to mess about
Thanks in advance
