Rns 510 3co O35 684 a Firmware Download

The RNS510 radio navigation arrangement is the optional color touchscreen GPS on NMS Passat SEL in Northward America. It was also found on 2010-12/13 Jetta, Golf, and Sportwagen and Touareg and Tiguan. It was optional for all 2010+ mk5/6 VW in Europe. The mk7 Golf and newer used a new headunit which is non compatible with the mk5/half dozen head units.

Yearly changes:

For 2012, the RNS arrangement adds a larger difficult drive, vocalism command of some functions, and HD radio tagging.

For 2011, the RNS-510 was replaced on Golf, Jetta, and Sportwagen (Golf wagon) with the RNS-315, a less expensive arrangement with a smaller screen and less features. Meet 1000q: RNS315 GPS system for data on that arrangement. You can nonetheless buy either every bit parts subsequently and swap them in any 2011 or newer VW TDI (except Touareg because the faceplate is unlike). The RNS 510 will continue to be optional on the Passat CC or higher models, and outside Due north America.

Here is my video review of the headunit.

The primary benefit of ordering information technology instead of an aftermarket organization is that it has a big screen integrated into the car and can exist controlled through your Multi Function Steering Wheel (MFSW). “Text+turn arrow” navigation instructions and song/artist name or radio station/sat radio channel are displayed on the Multi Function Display/Indicator (MFD+ or MFI+) on the instrument cluster every bit well as on the main brandish. The display brightness and colors also automatically go into “night” style when yous turn on the headlights vs. calculating it from GPS location and fourth dimension every bit with some aftermarket navigation systems. Information technology stores songs on a 30GB HD (upgraded to 40 GB for late 2011), has colour touchscreen control, has bluetooth control (if equipped due west/high bluetooth) and has USB/ipod functions through external adapters. It also plays DVD-A (audio DVDs) and shows CD text info if the CD has that information. Diagnostics tin be done through a VCDS (vag com) since it’s Can Charabanc. It can be retrofitted into whatsoever mk5 or mk6 auto simply can’t exist easily retrofitted into not Can bus cars. You lot can also retrofit a backup camera.

If you retrofit one, brand sure to buy a North American one since Euro units doesn’t accept the same AM, Sirius XM, HD radio signals and the maps are different!Make sure you get the security code or else you bought a paperweight!All addition accessories for Euro headunits piece of work. Annotation that the Jetta sportwagen station railroad vehicle is chosen the Golf Variant or Golf manor in Europe.

It has traffic capability through Sirius and because new cars come with a few months worth of satellite radio, traffic comes with new units too (traffic subscription is in addition to radio subscription). It does do all the regular GPS functions similar bypass part of a road, multiple stop trips (tour), route preferences, 2nd/3d mode. Below are some screenshots showing the basic nav screen, the CD changer (if equipped) selection screen, and maps. The iPod control (if equipped) and SD card input screens await similar. Topography can exist removed from 2d mode.

As seen to a higher place, you tin also adjust information technology to prove North at top or direction of travel at acme. If yous don’t have a highline MFD (multifunction display) on the musical instrument cluster y’all can bring upward a split screen showing that information on the navigation screen. Yous tin can adjust it to testify directions or next turn. The lesser menu can also exist hidden. The map scale is adapted with the correct knob and you lot can pan the map by touching and dragging. Map panning is one characteristic the RNS 510 has that the 315 does non.

In comparison to the older MFD2 in nuance GPS system, the 510 has video capability, a touch screen, SD input, bluetooth dialing/telephone book capability. For more features of the older MFD2 GPS navigation system, see 1000q: MFD2 GPS FAQ. Below are some screenshots of some main functions.

The main dislikes: Early versions merely receive the main HD-audio channel and non the sub channels. *Afterward versions tin select any of the HD channels of a station past first going to the station, waiting for it to first playing in HD, and then opening the stations list which volition then show all of the Hd channels for that station. In one case y’all have selected an alternating Hard disk station you can and then set information technology as a favorite in the unit so y’all don’t have to navigate to information technology like that once again. You cannot select or see whatever of the alternate Hd channels of a station though unless your actually listening to that station on the radio; merely then information technology volition display the alternate Hard disk drive channels in the stations list for that station. It could too be a version or firmware difference. I also don’t similar that adjusting screen brightness requires a number of button presses. I like to have the screen on medium during the daytime and darkest at nighttime. At that place is a calorie-free sensor in the corner and you can select night colors for the map but it’southward still as well bright at night for my preference.

If you have a 2005.5-2007 and retrofit it, y’all might need a new CANBUS module if it won’t go into sleep style correctly. If the battery gets drained overnight or 2 days, yous know you lot need a new Can Omnibus module. Some early on mk5 don’t take this problem, nobody seems to know why. Come across 1000q: mk5-mk6 mode radio bandy for details and how to install the RNS 510.

Adding bluetooth with the RNS 510 lets yous view phone book on the screen but only with a high bluetooth module like the 9w3, 9w7 (see 1000q: bluetooth FAQ for more on these). It cannot shop custom points of involvement in the GPS. Currently, the only style to add custom points of interest is to hack the map using your reckoner and load it as a newer map onto the GPS. I don’t know how hackable the maps are. Since the information is stored on an Hard disk, you must have the map DVD if leaving the home map area and loading another map. I’m sure the DVD also have some copy protection to deter downloading maps or torrents from hacked navteq maps.

Although maps are stored on the internal hard drive, you lot can insert another map region DVD for temporary use without overwriting the difficult drive map information.

Annotation – since this is a TDI site, all 2009-2010 Jetta/Golf come up with the highline cluster MFD+ (aka MFI). Many early mk5 Jetta had lowline displays and all mk6 Jetta take lowline displays and electrics except the hybrid and GLI which utilize highline electrics. If you lot have a highline cluster, calculation a RNS 510 is plug-play. If you accept a gasser and don’t take the highline cluster, y’all must add together one to have the nav display on the MFD+. Hither’s a film showing the difference betwixt the half screen cluster and the highline full screen MFD+ cluster.

It displays the phone book and screenshots if yous accept high bluetooth. Come across 1000q: Bluetooth FAQ for more details on the bluetooth differences. (pics by 71sbeetle)

Why pay $1750 MSRP for the RNS510 vs. $590 for the RNS315? They’re both touchscreen but the RNS-510 has many more features, the nigh obvious existence the hard bulldoze for music and map data plus the larger, high resolution touchscreen. Beneath is a table. Other known advantages of the RNS are tested add together-ons like backup cameras. Reviews of the GPS function are good.

RNS 510 version differences

There were a few versions. The primeval version will need electric current software updates to work with the latest MDI (media device interface – iPod controller) to piece of work correctly. They and can be upgraded up to version 380. The newer ones can exist upgraded to newer firmwares.

3C0 035 684 – showtime version. These came with firmware – software version 210 and can be upgraded upwards to 0380. These are not uniform with SDHC cards so they tin can only take up to 2gb cards. They can’t be upgraded like the later versions to one that will have SDHC cards bigger than 2 GB.

3C0 035 684 with suffix a or b are the 2d versions.

3C0 035 684 c is a newer RNS510 part number. The most electric current firmware as of this writing is 1040, can use 32GB SD cards, and boots up faster. 1 nice characteristic is the power to turn off the screen while however on (useful at dark). Due north America version C besides has an LED backlight (non Euro).

The latest RNS 510 being equipped on most tardily 2011 models has an increase of the 30gb up to a 40 gb difficult drive. The map and music space each get 5 GB more than.

3C0 035 684 e is the newer 2012 model. It comes with voice control of some radio and navigation functions. For instance, after pressing the vocalisation control button, you can say navigation -> destination -> and so a number respective to a preset. The available vox options changes according to the bill of fare. For example, if y’all’re in the navigation card and say dwelling house, it thinks yous’re saying telephone and volition accept you to the phone carte. To go home y’all would take to say navigation ->destination -> habitation.

If you purchase a Euro unit, notation that they don’t take HD radio or satellite radio. A Euro unit will work in the US but there are some GPS part bugs like nothing code search. Some have said that you tin’t input addresses but this may be due to a firmware/software incompatibility. You lot will as well have to detect a map. In other words, I would avoid it.

How to DIY install the RNS 510 GPS head unit to your Volkswagen

You can retrofit the RNS510 GPS to your VW after buying the car. For 2005.v-2009 models, you may need a wiring adpater. Meet 1000q: mk5-mk6 manner radio conversion and navigation installation for more information on this. The wiring is 100% plug-play with 2010 and later models. Beneath are some installation videos showing some of the steps on a mk6 Golf game. Your car may be slightly different.

If your car has a compass showing up in the MFD, it means information technology has a compass module. Use VCDS software to uncheck the CAN Motorcoach bos for “Position sensing” and unplug the compass module. If you don’t do this, the automobile’southward computer volition get an additional compass indicate from the GPS head unit of measurement which causes too much traffic over Tin BUS. Your compass module is similar to this. Below is a video showing how to remove information technology in Golf game. On the mk5 Jetta, the compass module is to a higher place the roof of the trunk. Remove the 10mm nut and slide it out. Unplug it. Click the thumbnails to enlarge and refer to the install link for more details.

Aftermarket GPS/head units that volition work and other bug

Some aftermarket double din nav systems that fit are the Pioneer AVIC-F90BT, Kenwood DDX812. There are also made in Mainland china copies of the OEM units like the AVC-9000 or Waywell WD6050 that exactly lucifer the factory interior, fifty-fifty downward to the buttons. Rosen besides makes a manufacturing plant look GPS organisation. The copies besides have MFSW or MFD compatibility but have no difficult drives or satellite radio capability. They use SD cards for retention.

The advantage of buying i of the OEM mode copies or some other an aftermarket double din headunit instead of ordering the factory RNS 510 is value and more features. For less money, you can get backup camera, bluetooth for your mobile phone (2010 VW have standard bluetooth), and a better stereo. These options are available every bit OEM retrofits to the Jetta/Golf , like rear view camera or parallel parking assistance (pictured beneath) with plug-play functionality, but they price as much as ownership an aftermarket unit of measurement. For case, the OEM backup photographic camera is subconscious nether the VW symbol on the trunk and comes out when you put the transmission into contrary….but adding the photographic camera, wire, and motorized VW symbol costs over $700!

The disadvantage of non manufactory equipment is that some won’t be integrated into the design of the dashboard, won’t display on the dashboard’south highline multifunction brandish (MFD+), and you have to self install. Some have complained most the software integration equally well. The Chinese OEM copies (most $500) exactly match the interior, will display on the MFD+ and work with the MFSW but they run off windows CE. Of note – you tin can add a inexpensive backup camera only they’re normally stuck onto the license plate and y’all have to manually select them instead of displaying when you lot put the car in reverse.

Ease of installation, value, quality, looks/integration: cull 3 of these preferences because no navigation option has all iv. The OEM doesn’t crave installation, is a quality unit, has a difficult drive for memory, but is expensive. The aftermarket units are cheaper and have better add together ons simply are either: not compatible with the MFSW/MFD+ and don’t look factory, or work with MFSW/MFD+, look like factory, just because of their modability and windows CE operating arrangement, could be more problematic. They also don’t have sat radio or hard drives.
Aftermarket bluetooth

If you have don’t accept bluetooth or take 9w2 bluetooth, you tin add together fiscon basic plus. This is an aftermarket bluetooth with total MFD+ compatibility. It also adds gauges like actual water temperature and boost to the MFD display. *Notation, the gauge units are metric (bar instead of psi, C instead of F). Other options are the 9w3 highline bluetooth. The 2011 TDI models will all be equipped with the new 9w7 highline bluetooth. See 1000q: mk5 mk6 bluetooth FAQ for more details.

OEM add ons

Other available OEM add-ons: backup camera, parallel parking assist (guide brackets on fill-in camera shifts in response to steering bike), play Tv while driving. The backup camera came with the system on the Tiguan. The RNS510 head unit is too bachelor on the Touareg. Information technology is an essential safety device since it increases situational awareness while backing up. Many children are injured or killed by cars bankroll upwardly so exist careful to not become tunnel vision when operating a vehicle. In other words, don’t stare at the screen while the machine is in motion – you should besides check your side mirrors and maintain sensation of nearby pedestrians, etc. Hither is a picture of the parallel parking guide. Every bit you lot turn the wheel, it moves the guide brackets. Just recall that you lot should always know the basic dimensions of your car.

Below is a screenshot and a video of the rear view photographic camera/parallel parking aid in action

  Some other OEM add on is the DVD in motion module. This lets you play video while the machine is in motion. Apparently, observe all laws applicable to y’all when driving. The commuter’s full attention should e’er exist on driving. NOTE: a free dvd in motion hack has been discovered – while it may not work 100% it shouldn’t harm your head unit. Come across Free VIM module hack in the TDI forum for more details.

Also call up that yous tin as well retrofit the RNS 510 GPS to your VW later. After the cost of installation, you’re not saving any money since the price to buy information technology after is more than expensive than the invoice price of adding it as an selection. Make certain the dealer loads the map information when you take delivery of the GPS! Early on RNS 510 were fifty-fifty delivered without map data! At this time, the best way to go map data is from a dealer ordering it from Navteq to forbid apply of stolen GPSs and map data. Disclaimer: practise non purchase, borrow, trade, copy, your DVD nav map data since it is copyrighted cloth! Any torrents you observe of map information are illegal and then don’t download the maps!

Note – If you retrofit i, brand sure to buy a North American one since Euro doesn’t accept the same AM, Sirius XM, or HD radio signals and the maps are different! All addition accessories should work.Brand sure yous get the security code or else you bought a paperweight!Note – the Jetta sportwagen station wagon is called the Golf Variant or Golf manor in Europe and may just get wagon or sportwagen in the futurity.

Note – the 2009 Jetta TDI loyal edition did not have the RNS-510 as an option. It had an optional older MFD2 navigation. See the MFD2 FAQ linked earlier and through this wiki for more details. You can retrofit the RNS510 into the loyal edition or other mk5 Tin BUS cars with the correct modifications.
