The standard partition size is 50/25/25%.
The modded firmware has 90/5/5 split + VIM enabled already.

Question, best place to buy a wiring harness for the 9WZ BT module? I lost the previous one in the GTI (Well, was too lazy to take it out)

I have the navigation info on my MFD, but no media info (Radio station/track names etc) What would be the coding to activate this?

Re: Unit RNS510

Post by Belix »

wondering if I should try the latest firmware update - seems a bit iffy on version Cs

Also, new MDI firmware available if anyone else has one http://www.my-gti.com/3148/volkswagen-m ... e-upgrades. Previous was 240. Seems to only be for units produced this year.

To see what MDI firmware version you have (it does not show the updated version number under the module on VCDS scan);
How to:

1. Launch VCDS
2. Select Control Module
3. Select 2E Media Player3
4. Select Measuring Blocks 08
5. Select Group 7 ucMedia Software Level
6. SW level is 0240 000.000.000 for example.

If you have already updated to that version, you'll get a "software update not possible" error. Could be more helpful...

You can also check the version by holding down the setup button. If you get a screen with just fm and am, you have 2xxx or earlier. If you get a version button, push it ;)

Meh, now I have to find someone who has the SA maps. Can't believe that VW charges so much for the maps software. Think I should phone my mechy at VW and ask him if he can't perongeluk install the software for me...

Either or, if all goes to plan, I should have my RNS510 on the 27th. Well it'll be in Pretoria on the 27th. I'm in Plett... Kinda logistics issue...

There is a guy on bid or buy selling these units for R8900 all you have to do is search for "VW OEM" and it pops up.. Units are brand new never been installed.. He install is in like 20 - 30min and supplies the updated maps.. Got mine from him with the bluetooth phone module for just under 11k.. Works awesome and he activates the VIM no problem, installed the mic in the roof light there is space there so nothing shows..

He will also supply updated maps for free always to his customers and the unit comes with a 1 year warrenty

the eBay ones are hardly used, but not brand new. Not sure how he would sell brand new for R8900 when VW wants over R25K.
