Title: RNS 510 INSTALL PROBS
Post by: WHITEY20 on 13 July 2011, 07:40: Hi Guys, I've been trying to retro fit mys RNS 510 for over 2 months now. After endless problems triying to code my B unit I have exchanged it fot the LED C version thinking it will be compatible with my 2011 golf.
I have had trouble with the battery drain issue and broak down twice (very embarrising in a reliable german new car :cry: ) I have tried getting help from the seller in Lithuania but all I got was its not compatible with the Can Gateway and need a new one from ebay at £150. Surelly my car has the latest one and I have version 2660 installed already :undecided:

Any help would really be appreciated :rolleyes:
Thanks

Completely off topic but I love your private reg, can I buy it off you!!!

It sounds to me that the unit itself is faulty... "seller from Lithuania" would ring alarm bells, as I believe there are a lot of cheap knock-offs coming from that direction.

You could try updating it but doing that runs the risk of bricking it??

Is all the coding correct,

I can have a look at some stage if you like I'm only in Leeds and could meet you some where to have a look or if you want me to call over?
