3T0*********680A

Not wanting to put all the details on the web as unsure about the details I've been given, & security etc.

That's just a part number, it's not specific to your individual unit.

I installed 3984 today in my Superb, and the new maps v7.2. It works like a charm, now I can even change language to Swedish, at last (but no swedish voice commands yet).

Well its installed ok.

The link I installed was the last one in the first post.

I had the 7.1 maps already and these have not been erased, neither did my music. Everything seems to work fine, startup is faster from what I can tell.

My Columbus is the original as fitted to my September 2008 Superb, and is Hardware version H04.

...I done exactly as manny said above and firware succesfully instaled but got my hardisc music and my 7.1 maps erased and its now asking for a navigation cd and the the version comes up in setup as 3984 not 3980, anyone else tried it???...noe im feeding it the 7.2 maps and i can see that my favorite destinations in the memory are not wiped out but my hd music is ..i had a modified josi fw 2764 where i could see the hidden menu but i seem after the fw update to not get that anymore

Installed from FW 2720 in "A" (HW42 in the label, march 2011) unit and all ok. Maps and music not erased ( current version 7.1).

Now the unit appears both setup function or VCDS as "B" unit.

I'm just installing 7.2 maps into hdd unit.

Anyone ha 3980 fw for pre-face lift O2?

Anyone?

Guys

Just got a Columbus and looking to get the latest firmware and 7.2 maps on there.

It is running a 27xx firmware at the moment, I will do a scan in a moment and get the exact details. Looking to upgrade to the latest 3xxx firmware really and get the 3 partitions.

The label on the Colubus says it is 3T0 with a C suffix, but when I go in to the version info it says it is a 3T0 with a A suffix - is this right or has this had the cover swapped? According to the label it was manufactured 2009 but from the version info it is a H03 hardware version - does this all seem to add up?

I have got it working on the Maxidot by disabling BAP but the MFSW buttons don't work - once I am in the NAV or AUDIO menu the only way to get back out is by turning the Columbus off. I presume I need to use Josi's CD with the table swap on it to get the Steering Wheel and stalk buttons working? I have an upgraded CAN Gateway so no need to worry about battery drain.

What revision is this unit likely to be as I don't want to brick it with a firmware it doesn't support!

Thanks

I'm on 3814 on pre-FL with Columbus and updated CAN if that is of any help to you...

Was downloaded from my gti website using the link under 'Download Location (RNS 510 A, B and C)'.

Current firmware is 2764 and using Josi's image for swapping the tables I now have working MFSW and Maxidot

So, what firmware shall I load to get the 3 partitions and etc? Asking the experts before I break something as I am new to this upgrading firmwares on Columbus lark

Look under hidden menu Testmode->Versions for HW Vehicle and HW Radio

HW Vehicle:

0xC001 - A

0xC201 - B

0xC801 - C

HW Radio:

0003 - A

0004 - B

0006 - C

If it is revision B or C unit, you can load firmware 3980 and then again apply the image for swapping the tables.

Revision B - Good news!

Do I need to load any firmware version in between so I get the POI partition?

Thanks for all your help Josi.

3980 creates required three partitions if they are not already present, in this case all info on HDD is lost.

Many thanks - found out the same on vwnavi and gpsunderground.

I will try the maps DVD before I do the firmware, just in case

This is exactly the issue that I've got as well - everything seems to work OK, but once I go into Audio or Nav on Maxidot, I'm stuck there until I switch the Columbus off. I've got a 3T0 035 680A model (July 2010) with f/w 3800 and 7.1 maps. Be very interested to know if it's poss to get round this prob as everything else is great...

I fixed it with Josi's cd that swaps the coding tables for the MFSW. I will PM you later.

I will try the v8 Western Europe Maps with it tomorrow woohoo!!!

Just need an hour and a half to get them loaded!

How do you do that and whre do you get that CD?

Oh - are V8 maps available now?

Better give my dealer a call.

the firmware posted are for rns510 or columbus? do I need to swap tables or someone know where I can find the right one? now I'm on 2760ogw on a "B" unit but I want to install v8 maps...

just another question, where I can find the Josi's cd?

thanks

edit:

installed 3980 downloaded elsewhere works without any tables swap, but I lost vocal commands (that work perfctly in english with 2760) is it a known problem?

Got v8 running here on 2720, you won't get v8 from a dealer!

You will from a VW dealer

Got v8 running here on 2720, you won't get v8 from a dealer!

So.....if you won't get V8 from a dealer (well not from a Skoda dealer at the moment) where did you steal yours from then?

Since this thread is regarding firmware lets keep to that topic.

Regarding V8 maps, these can be bought legally through a VW dealer. Seems Skoda are a bit behind the times and still on V7.2. The VW version will be fine with a Skoda Columbus and the VW disk actually contains the Skoda POI data.

BUMP!

I really need the 3980 FW for a revision B unit with MAXIDOT enabled. Has anyone got an updated link? Please?!

Just load the 3980 firmware and then the Table swap from http://depositfiles.com/files/d5a4eyltf assuming that what you want is to get the MFSW and Maxidot working

Have a look here for more info http://vwnavi.com/volkswagen-factory-fit-navigation-systems/rns-510-mfd3-navi-system/firmware/13672-unofficial-272x-software-swl-recovery-cd.html

Is the above about illegal copyrighted software?! If so, naughty!
