Hi,

 

looking for some advice. My RNS510 is acting a bit strange - not always powers up with the ignition on. Even pressing the power button does not start it up? Following day is fine, but again on next attempt to switch the engine is not starting. Any idea?

HW-Version  H61

SW-Version 5238

I've just had a discussion with another member about this particular issue. I'm confident that it's a miannboard failure. Essentially it means a replacement unit is required.

Local VAG specialist thinks that the main gateway is faulty (common issue on VAG cars) as got wet. He recommends gateway replacement. BUT, if gateway is not communicating with Columbus, should the head unit switch on by pressing the power button? Could I replace the current unit with DAB one? Straight swap? Any programing needed?

 

Replacement with a DAB one will need some coding, and also will need a new antenna for the dab signal. The unit should turn on without any can signals from the gateway, same as if the ignition isn't on.

 

Will you have any in stock shortly? How much for the unit and aerial? And of course your help and coding? What's the part numbers, so I'll try to find it if needed?

I have a DAB unit in stock, yes. I think I may have an aerial, second hand which I removed from the Yeti I sold last year.

 

Unable to sent you PM as already send one today... If you can, drop me a line with costs and timings? 

Will do tomorrow. 👍 I'll check what I have in the workshop re aerial etc.

 

Thank you Rustynuts
