I've just upgraded mine to the 3810 firmware. It took about 50 minutes and upgraded successfully.

I had a Revision C unit and was previously running 2660 firmware:

I now have a "Version Information" menu item when I hold down the "Setup" button. When I click this it shows the following:

Delivery part number: 1T0035680D
HW-Version: H06
SW-Version: 3810
Active map coverage: West Europe
Active map supplier: Navteq
Map version DVD: 7074

The firmware upgrade deleted the maps and music on the HDD so i just reinstalled the V6.1 maps and added some music.

Nice new VW logo on startup and updated graphics and animation.

I followed these instructions and got the firmware from here:

I used the windows 7 to write the disk ( Maxwell DVD + RW ) or rather the image and had no problems with the install, it took around 50 mins, just need V8 Map DVD if i can find it (if anyone can point me in the right direction ) 

Did the RNS510 D firmware download work for the C unit you had?

I am looking at doing it all today but i think mines will be from an older version.

ScottA said he had a copy as well as VAGCOM so was gonna use the VAGCOM to check what i am running first then see which one i need to upgrade to.

If you upgrade to 4XXX let me now how it is cos if it isnt that much of a improvement over 3XXX then i might not use it.

New site?? weird - will take some getting used to...

Anyway, halfway through upgrade to 3810 - pretty scary when whole unit goes black for 1 minute....
What's new in version 4XXX software?

What's new in the recent G&H revisions of the RNS510?

Rislar any chance of a video to see the differences?

Lol yeah I thought that also, I'm 77% through the 4020 update, it's getting there 

PS I got it from a different source seeing as the posts on the forum didn't favour it! I'll add as I'm going on fella!
