Thanks - I'm interested in this. What functionality, if any, does it add? How does one check one's current firmware version, to see if this update applies? Any instructions on installation?

Thanks again.

Did you install this firmware? i was looking to install it to fix an issue with my iPhone 5 and Bluetooth. when i try to play music using AD2p streaming there is a crackle to the music. its driving me crazy but i cant find anyone else with the same issue. I happen to also have the 2012 CC lux plus model as well. will this firmwire fix the issue?

 

You will need VCDS to check your current firmware.

As far as instructions go:
1.Download.
2.Burn ISO file to CD-R.
3.Insert into nav unit.
4.It'll go off and on a few times then ask you to confirm update.

 

What does this (firmware) update have? I know map updates give you new POIs, streets, cameras, etc.

It just fixes some bugs and makes the system a bit more responsive. For the older firmware it will make some graphic changes.

 

FYI I went from firmware 1040 (510 Version C) to the current, 1140. Burned CD loaded fine and the 510 did its reboots to complete; took about 40 minutes. Don't see any response changes -- maybe understandable -- and I had to reload my SD card (I play music from it instead of the HD). The update seemed to cause a loading error when reading from the SD after the update, so I'm thinking the update might have changed the stored library somewhat (which the 510 seems to keep in memory). But all's well and I'm hoping it fixed a couple of weird, very minor bugs. Thanks for the link.

 

Just updated it! works great! It took about a hour fron start to finish. It seems to load alot faster when you turn the car on then before! WINNING!! :laugh:

 

Glad it worked for you!

 

Gotta try it... Thanks! :thumbup:

 

This is what I got after inserting CD with ISO image. My current SW version is 1040.
Edit: A quick google search revealed you have "to change the time format of the clock in the RNS 510 from 12 hour to 24 hour clock". Will try later and see if it works.

mine did this. once i put the disk in without the key in the ignition it worked fine

 

^^^
What did you use to burn the CD?

Use this if you will still have problem with it.

looks like the older units now get support for sdhc cards. i just popped in a 16gb card and it worked!

 

Yes that is correct. You can even plug in a 32 GB.

 

Will try later this evening. Yes, VIM enabled. Shouldn't be an issue, right?

I don’t know for sure, But I know that I had to enable mine after the update.

 

I updated mine with car off, door closed and I left the clock on its 12 hour setting. VIM enabled via tool, not software, and still works.

 

what do you mean by VIM enabled ? I'm assuming video in motion and if so are you able to watch dvds while moving now ? thanks for the help

 

Correct, video in motion, meaning video can play while driving. I bought my 510 from an online vendor who unlocked it with some kind of VW approved tool. From what I've read, if you use software available online to unlock VIM then you'll have to rerun it after the 1140 upgrade in order to get it back (all other settings seem to remain -- nice to see that, actually). I don't watch video while driving, of course, but it is nice to have (kids, traffic, etc.)

 

I updated the first post with a link to the VIM file. :thumbup:

Enjoy

 

did it to my car and worked perfect with improvements


started with this, slowest part was APPL and Radio took the longest


you should see this at bottom of screen


and go through a few of these screens


and this should be end result after about 45mis-1hr


improved fullscreen backup cam instead of half screen and car on screen actually looks like a cc



begining of vim install after update


end result after about 2 mins


boot screen changing upload


end of boot screen upload of about 1-1.5 mins

 

Thanks!!

 

whatever you need seki

 

Thanks. Pictures added to the first post.

 

Thanks to the OP. After two years, this finally fixed the crazy loud default voice for Voice Activation. Man, that was driving me nuts. Rear camera is very nice. Start up time is still the same for me, but you can't win them all

 

Glad it worked for you and you are happy with the final results.

 

Getting a error, it boots up fine starts the swl down load like the first couple of screen shots. Then it stops and says there was a error in reading the file and your system will revert back to original software. please eject cd/dvd to reboot system. Any Ideas?

Door was open, Clock set to 24 hours and key was not in the switch.

2012 CC lux plus here.

Thanks For the help.

 

Are you doing the firmware update or are you enabling VIM?

 

Just updated my RNS on an 09 CC Lux... Wow the interface is way faster then before. Took 30 secs. to find a GPS fix and everything works fine so far.

Next VIM CD.. Cross my fingers ;-)

thanks

 

did you have to use a cd or a dvd to burn it to ? also I have a mac ....and I'm not computer literate lol, can someone please tell me the steps to burn the files both vim and update ? thanks to any and all in advance

 

It's very easy on a Mac. I also have one.

Once you download the image, run Disk Utility. Go to the file menu and Open Disk Image. Find the image where you downloaded it (by default, in your downloads folder), and open it. In the main pane, select the disk image you just loaded (you may see two related ones, and you want the one at the top of the directory tree). Assuming you've already inserted a blank CD or DVD, hit the burn button and then the burn button in the resulting window.

No idea about VIM. Honestly, it seems incredibly dangerous to me - even if the driver claims it is just for the benefit of his passengers. It's awfully hard to avoid looking at a video screen when one is in front of you, no matter how hard you try. Furthermore, it is illegal in most states. But to each his own.

More detailed instructions here. Good luck!

I used a CD (brand memorex). I have a Mac as well. Under Applications - Utilities -->Disk Utility.
Insert the CD , choose the downloaded ISO File ..click on top "burn"...set the burn speed to x4.. done.

Get in the car, turn on the RNS 510 , insert the CD and then the magic happens as shown in the screenshots above.

Thanks
