Hi all,
Without discussing anything to do with acquiring maps etc could someone please tell me what the latest map version is?
I am currently running 7692 and I cannot find anything newer, however I believe this is at least 6 months out of date, possibly longer. How often are map updates released?
Thanks,
Scott

As far as I am aware 7692 is still the latest release (7693 is also about but is 7692 including the european speed cameras)

Does that mean mines out of date already as mines 7690?
-
Sorry, I think 7690 is the latest official release, 7692/3 seem to be custom ones with Speed camera databases already installed.
Looks like you have the latest :smiley:

How did you acquire 7692? Did you update your RNS to it or was it already running that version from new?

I think they show as POI but I could be wrong as I don't have them :grin:
Strange thing is I swear they used to be there but they're not now!!!

Yeah they show as POI and you have to activate them. Like you mine disappeared as well. Not sure if its a bug or something but I've been keeping my eye on it the last few months and this time they've not disappeared.
Is no great hassle to reactivate them again on the RNS once you know where the setting is.

Be great if somebody knows how to activate them as I have been in my POI and can't find them. As mentioned earlier I have a 2012 ed35.

Setup
Map
Select Map Details
Then you just select what you want to be displayed on the map. i.e. speed cameras

Nope no luck...when I go into select map details then categories(alphabetical) it just lists places I might want to stop at, airports, amusements ect...

Anymore suggestions?
-
You don't have the speed cams then. Like I said earlier I'm sure its not on the official software but could be wrong!

Ah okay :cool:
Is it possible to purchase software for the cams from somewhere?
-
The cams aren't that great to be honest as they only give you a visual display that they are coming up.
Unfortunately its not like the cams on the sat nav units Tom-Tom etc that play a sound so many yards before you approach them!!
Although I'm sure someone on this forum was working on that!!

I think that would require modified firmware - risky! :cry:
-
Member Mortygt140 added them to my RNS as a POI from an SD card. Might be worth asking him

Ahh I know this is possible but I really begrudge paying £20 a year for Pocket GPS..... I know only £20 but still! lol
-
I have the option on my system but they never com up on my display even tho i have them highlighted as POI.
i think that it must be a floor in the software. I will be going to specialist in a couple of weeks and i will ask him whether this is a common issue!

Hi
Any helpfull news yet.....
-
Mine did not come with the speed cam but when i put them on with an sd card my speed limit signs has disappeared I have tried everything but can't get them back any ideas ?
-
Hi
Any helpfull news yet.....
I was told by the guy i spoke to that it can be due to a number of reasons if its a retro fit.
Firmware being one main problem and also copied discs.
He didnt give any specifics really as he said different cars dont work for different reasons. sort of pot luck really to a certain extent.
-
Ya I did retrofit it my model is a version H with Hw - 64 and Sw- 4020 also I think my maps is 7690 .I Think when buying these units you are been told that they are new but there is no real way of telling if they came from the factory with that Fw-Sw version or if they have been updated to them versions which might be why people have the same unit versions but some have speed cams and some with out they don't all be the same

Hi all,
Just picked up my car on friday and my map version is 7551, how do i update it :wink:
Cheers

The database for the PersonalPOIs has in the database structure details about direction and speed for POIs. This indicates that at some point the system may be able to warn you about POIs (such as speed cameras) as you approach them.
At this time there seems to be no indication that this data structure is nothing more than future proofing or indeed that it was created by a third party (Continental - the manufacturers) and most likely is not supported by the VW / VAG firmware.
Also, as others have pointed out, some countries prohibit the use of anything that warns you about speed cameras, so VAG might be a little wary of adding the feature in to their cars!
I'll take another look and see if I get anywhere ....
-
Here are the data options for each POI:
- POI ID
- SpeedLimit
- Direction
- TimeStamp
- CameraType
- FixtureStatus
- SeverityRating
Currently this data table is empty. I will try and fill it with some real data, but don't hold out much hope, as I was unable to see any code within the firmware that actually made any calls to this table or the data within it.

Is It much of an improvement over v8?
-
Haven't checked it all to see the updates.
I am just back from a drive round Germany/France and noticed a new motorway section in France was not on the previous maps, it seems to be on this version.

I found this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vw-Golf-Passat-Polo-Rns510-Speed-Camera-Pois-R32-/280970180215?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item416b20b677the other day.
Don't know if anybody has any experience or views on this?

Guys,
Be careful with FW 4120 or 5218 as I've managed to brick a ver H RNS510.
I knew it was possible to brick so it was a risk I knowingly took. I was on 4020 previously which was fine.
There's hope that someone will come up with a way of getting it working again but at the mo it doesn't look great.
I think I'll need a replacement motherboard which I can probably get for less than £200 so not the end of the world but £200 I'd rather have in my pocket :grin:

Sorry to hear this mate, hope you can some how get it sorted...

Thanks guys, entirely my fault. I'm close to ordering a replacement mobo/mainboard for around £211 delivered from Poland. Hoping that fixes it.

I take it you have tried THIS (http://www.my-gti.com/1986/volkswagen-rns-510-swl-recovery-cd-for-gateway-error-202-or-boot-problems)..

Thanks mate but afraid so :(
It's completely fubar'd by the looks of it - doesn't even let me try another firmware... :undecided:

Ah sorry mate, my text was a waste of time then :sad: this ain't really what you needed after just buying a new house...

I was going to say have u tried loading a really old firmware as that has been said to work. That's ashame mate.
Think I'll avoid updating mine for now.
Really shocked it's messed up the motherboard.

Ahh don't worry mate. Thanks for letting me know about the reply anyway :cool:
I've just had an epic pay rise so £200 is only a drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of things.
Just a bit annoying, that's all. I'm kinda enjoying driving without any music anyway :cool:

Yeah tried em all mate. If 4020 is working fine for you then just leave it is all I can say. I'm going to get the latest maps soon but don't know when I'll next be in Birmingham - I might be in town in a few weeks so I'll let you know if you want them
-
Well, there we go. I've been chatting to a few people around Europe who want me to send my RNS 510 to them for repair. They're not sure whether it can be repaired or not, or whether it will need a replacement motherboard. I have just ordered a replacement motherboard for £220 delivered from Poland. I'll try it and if that doesn't fix it then I'll send it back.
Hopefully it does and then I'll see what I can do with the old motherboard. I think it would be ok if you could flash it again. I've heard about de soldering the flash memory, using a tool to flash it (if I can find someone with one) and then soldering it again.
If I can do that and it works then I can sell it and hopefully recoup some of the £220.
If not then expensive lesson learnt. I just hope it comes with a decent firmware version or it doesn't f**k up again when I have to update the firmware to be able to run the latest maps!!! :lipsrsealed:

Scott,can you not try and get a replacement under warranty.Dont declare anything just say it stopped working.Worth a try?

Aye, that's the problem. Still, I could afford 3 of them for the factory fitted price :grin:
Even if they didn't notice it wasn't spec'd on the car, they'd notice the GPS antenna under the dash :laugh:

I'm positive there was someone on here that took his retro fit RNS510 to the dealer and they swapped it for another one.
I know they updated my software on mine when I said my ipod was skipping* the first few seconds of a track even although mine was retro fitted.
*Turns out it was the way I had itunes set that was causing the skipping

Hmm probably could have given it a try but didn't fancy them ripping it out and trying to fit a new one, scratching the entire dash in the process. lol
Anyway, I just fit the new motherboard today. Took about 1 1/2 hours so not too bad, and that was without knowing what to do, taking the whole thing apart (and it comes into many pieces) and then working out how to fit it all back together. All fixed now, so need to see what I can do with the old motherboard, as there's a way of flashing them directly so could salvage it and sell it on.
-
Sweet mate, good to hear you've fixed it...
