There are various different versions of RNS 510 along with multiple different versions of firmware, so it seemed like a good first step was to work out what I had. Determine which revision of hardware/firmware you are running So having successfully updated both the firmware and maps on my unit I thought I would write a guide to summarise, in one place, how I did it.įirst I will describe how I did the firmware upgrade, then I will move on to how I updated the maps.ġ.
I also read that newer versions of firmware also provided additional features, bug fixes and performance improvements, obviously! So I started doing a lot of googling and reading and found a wealth of information spread all over the place about how to upgrade both the firmware and maps on the RNS 510. I was starting to find the maps on my RNS 510 were getting a bit out of date, after all I had never updated it since I purchased the car in 2009. This information does not pertain to the US spec RNS 510 – please read through comments for info – these instructions are specific for UK and ROW (Rest of World)
