RNS510 Problem
« on: 01 July 2011, 11:10 »
Initially posted this on the Audio forum but was wonder if any you guys had encountered this.

I may have bricked my RNS 510 .... basically the story so far is.

I put the DVD with the firmware in, it rebooted the system, it showed the VW Nav screen loading with the setup info (red stripes top and bottom of screen) but then it did nothing, it now just conintually starts and restarts showing only a white screen. It does this in cycles, even when i am driving. I didn't get any gateway errors and I didn't even get to the part where it asks you the yes|no question of wether you want to continue with the upgrade.

I've tried disconnecting the power for over an hour but it's still in the same state.  Worst part, I can't get the disk out to recover with old firmware.

Anyone know what to do in this situation ? :-(

or

Does anyone want to buy a bricked RNS 510 ? :-(

Don't know if you have seen THIS but it involves getting the CD out and this version in.

Have you tried rebooting the unit by holding down the left and right buttons and the i button.

If you get no takers on here then there a few lists of people willing to help out:

http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5319
http://uk-mkivs.net/files/folders/vag_com_user_locations/default.aspx

That's great got a few guys from Scotland!

I went in and had a chat with the dealer, I am hoping they will at least be able to get the disk out for me and then I can retry installing the old firmware!

All else fails looks like I'll be buying a new unit, anyone selling one ? :-)

If you do need a replacement speak to 'N13KKF' I recently bought a Version C LED RNS510 and the service was superb, he is all over the R32 owners club website if you wanted to check him out first.  I'd recommened him every time.
