    An E revision is a minimum. But will need software code 0048. Otherwise H or higher is needed. The software code can only be done by dealer-style equipment, so it's not cost effective unless you have friends!
    In VCDS my module 19 comes up as:
    Part No SW: 3C0 907 530 C HW: 3C0 907 951 A
    Component: Gateway 007 0040 <<<< this is the software coding

    The plug needs to be fully home into the CANbus module, you should here a sharp click as it engages its locator tab. Otherwise you run the risk of not all pins making good contact. Been there, done that and lost a load of other module codings too!

    Full name for this module is CANbus controller -- it sees and registers other CANbus functions.

    Believe coming home/leaving home lights is done via CECM (Central Electronics Control Module) Havn't been thru all the possible functions of all the modules myself but do want an uprated one of those as there are some tweaks in the later versions available that arn't in the earlier one such as "teardrop" (wipers do an additional delayed single wipe after screen wash); Auto-autohold (comes on with ignition when foot's on brake) These and others are in the CC's CECM

    PM me your e-mail address and I can send you the files I'd collected on this and CANbus.

    Eventually, didn't go the RNS/RCD route as back in 2008 there wasn't too many of those head units second hand around at good price. And by the time I'd factored in CANbus upgrade, DAB, reversing camera, and Bluetooth, plus installation there wasn't much in it as against a new JVC with removable touchscreen for a grand installed inc. VAT -- downside is there's not been a map update since 2009, Audio menu on MFD doesn't show any info, star and mute buttons on MFSW don't work (but all others do)

    Module codings are explained on my site. Just adding a new module doesn't always give you new functions because often functions depend on extra wires or other model upgrades etc.

    Why dont you just leave the current canbus and install modified RNS 510 firmware to prevent battery drain. I did it on my 56 plate passat and it works great,had my RNS 510 for over a year without a problem.

    I have an 05 sport passat and just installed an RNS510, software 3810 and had to remove the fuse because of battery drain. Could you post a link to where you got the software update to stop this. found one site but it never downloads fully, keep getting errors.

    There you go:
    Unofficial 272x software and SWL recovery CD

    you want the one named "Fix for old CAN gateways"
    The download works, I just tried it. You will need unzip it then burn it onto a CD (its an iso file) then pop it into your RNS510.

    Hi, my name is Adrian and I live in Brazil.
    I'm in desperate need of help and I see that you know the subject well.
    I have a 2008 TSI Passat and when installing an Eonon brand multimedia hub that second manufacturer is plug & play in the Passat from 2006 causes a conflict causing the steering to be hard and the red light on the instrument panel. Can you tell me if I change my GATEAWAY to a newer one? Thank you very much. My email is festadance@gmail.com, and whatsapp is +5524999953202
