hi all,
i need to upgrade my canbus for installation of an RNS510. I have found this canbus part off a 2008 passat with part number 3C0 907 530 E
can anyone confirm if this will work? also anyone within the manchester or northampton area available for help installing/programming?
Regards
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!Quote:

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!
Ah ok thats that explains alot. Also if i upgrade my canbus, would i get any more functionality in my car via VCDS? eg coming home lights or any tweaks like that?
Full name for this module is CANbus controller -- it sees and registers other CANbus functions.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
What is the Eonon multimedia hub model name or number? Is it Android?
