RNS510 FIRMWARE 5238 UPGRADE with Video in Motion & Test mode Enabled

To see what firmware you have:
Hold setup button 4 sec and then Version…
 
Don’t have the engine on and don’t have the key in the car when you do the firmware upgrade – very important!
It is good to have a car charger, the upgrade takes about 50min…

 

Disclaimer.: There is a possibility that the Music Data and Maps may get deleted from the HardDisk Drive, therefore you may need to reinstall your Maps DVD!

Be sure the DVD unit is not damaged and read the correct CD/DVD medium.

I accept no responsibility for any damage.

Everyone can use firmware 5238 and newest maps

– You can always use firmware 5238 on any device from 2005 to October 2013 (with HDD). * Hardware C3-C12 *
– You can update directly to 5238 with no need for an update in between
– This firmware has VIM & Test mode enabled ( Video In Motion)

SOLUTION FOR ERROR MESSAGE –  SWL CD detected but invalid clamp state

SWL CD detected but invalid Clamp State-please remove the CD and either
a) change the steam state to hour and re-insert the CD or
b) press any of the buttons to continue with normal operation.

A little tip, if the error message comes with “Clamp State invalid … hour mode”:

1. CD out
   2. Ignition off
   3. Hard Reset (press the two buttons to the left of the DVD tray + the right button to the right of the DVD tray)
   or Soft Reset (press the two buttons to the right of the DVD tray + SETUP button)
   4. Wait until finished booting up
   5. Setup, system, time setting from 24 to 12h
   6. SW CD in and off you go …)

You will have to perform all the procedures correctly.
We are not responsible in case something goes wrong during the installation and damages your device.

Installation:

Open the car up but do not put the key into the ignition. You can  put the CD-R with the firmware on it straight into the RNS 510 and it powered up and started to read the disc. If it doesn’t power up then press the on/off button. Then it’s just a case of being patient, letting it reboot several times and following the prompts. When it starts updating you’ll just have to leave it for about 1 hour. 

WARNING: There is a real possibility you will lose all your map data and music files on the HDD – make sure you have a map DVD available to reload your maps, unless you are happy to worry about that later
