SetConfig For RNS510
Introduction : SetConfig is available in 2 versions, Basic and Full. It will let you
completely configure your RNS510 unit in ways that only could be done from the
Continental Factory. With this application you will be able to change any setting
within the unit, along with CUSTOM settings that we have written that are useful
for Diagnosing Bricked Units, Units that display Black/White only screens, and
also revive units that have become corrupted due to bad firmware or incorrect FW
updates.
Basic Version : The basic version of the program will have access to all functions
of the Full version with the exception of the Montior option and special Write
Functions that are available only within the Service mode of the program.
Full Version : The full version of the program will have access to all functions
including read/write of all areas including special function set inside of the service
mode. You will also have a special tab called Monitor, this function is especially
useful if you have a bricked or unit that has had issues with bad fw upgrades.
Functions
There are 7 tabs within the application; System, Coding, HDD, Hardware, Display,
Logo, Firmware, Monitor. All of these tabs contain multiple functions that cannot
be changed by the dealer, Vag Com Cable, or less capable SW packages such as
MRM, Martech Clip, etc.
Here you have the option of setting the speed limits for Video in Motion and also
HMI (This is where you are asked I AM AWARE when entering destinations)
when in motion for your navigation, phone, or other options.
DVD Region: Here you can change the region coding of the DVD player if
you wish to watch DVDs from other regions. You can set it for a particular
region, or you can set it to ALL REGIONS in which case you will have
access to watch DVDs from any region.
SD Card: This option will enable you to make the SD card option
Enabled/Disabled.
Startup Logo: If you purchase your RNS second hand you and it came out
of a VW and is now going into a Skoda, you can select Skoda and it will
change the startup logo to the corresponding automobile.
Variant: This will enable you to see what section of the world the unit is
coded to, you have the option of changing this if you should move.
CODING
Previously if you wanted to make changes with your RNS unit you had to have a
VCDS or Vagtech cable and have the knowledge of how to code your unit. We
have included the most important features and you will not have to use any second
hand cables or programs to enable/disable this coding. You can accomplish all of
this from Setconfig.
Options
o Coding From here you can read and establish what your current
coding is for your RNS Unit. It is advised to write down this number
before making changes encase you should happen to forget a change
you have made and need to restore settings
Coding Override Choices (Enable/Disable)
o Display Protocol
o Multifunctional Steering Wheel
o Backup Camera Low
o Voice Control
o Speed Limit for destination input
o Speed Limit for voice destination input
o Speed Limit info in map
o CD Changer
o Theft Protection
o Pin Verification
HDD SECTION
In this section you will be able to manipulate the internal 30/40 GB HDD that is
installed inside of your RNS Unit.
HDD
o Read Here you can see what size HDD is installed inside of your
system. This value should be 30GB for A/B/C/D units and 40 GB
for E/F units.
o Create Here you can reformat and create partitions for your maps
and your music. As of 4M the maps are coming on Dual Layer
Discs, as you can see above they are not using the standard 4.7
gigs of space, the new maps need minimum around 9.5 gigs, it
is safe to make sure you make this size MIN 10Gb.
o Format This will format your entire HDD, All data will be lost.
At this point you can create your new HDD Partitions
o Backup You can back up your music or maps to your SD card if
you decide to do a format and change the partition size.
o Restore You can restore your Maps and Music if you have
formatted, resized your partitions, or performed a FW upgrade.
This is A LOT faster than reloading the maps and also all of your
music. Just ANOTHER terrific feature of Setconfig which is not
offered anywhere else.
SD Card
o Read This will tell you how large your SD card is and what File
System it is formatted in. Typically this should be FAT32
HARDWARE
This feature is only available in service mode. You can see all the functions of
your actual HW and change values in any of the fields. The Write Option is only
available on the full version, in the Basic version you can read these values
however you cannot change them.
From this section in Full or Basic mode you can reset your pin code for the unit.
You would just type in a 4 digit number and press set and this will recode the pin
code for the unit. This is especially helpful if your radio came with no pin card and
your battery was changed, or if you bought a unit second hand and received the
incorrect code with your unit.
DISPLAY
Here you can change the actual color values of your RNS Unit. These are values
that are set at the factory and can be changed using Setconfig.
Display
o Display Type : Here you can set the Display Type of the screen
o LED Brightness: Here you can set how bright you want the RNS unit
screen. By default it is set around 30% under the brightest value
which you can correct
TV/AV
o Brightness R/G/B: Here you can set the brightness of the RGB
channels that are displayed when you are watching TV from a
VW/AUDI TV Tuner or DVD Video.
o Contrast R/G/B: Here you can set the contrast of the RGB channels
that are displayed when you are watching TV from a VW/AUDI TV
Tuner or DVD Video.
LOGO
This is a feature that was developed for RNS units which allows you to create your
own custom boot screens. This is an especially nice feature that is available
nowhere else and lets you completely customize your boot screen with any image
of your choice. You simply select a .BMP image that is 800x480 and select
create .iso. This will create an .iso file that you will burn onto a cd, insert into your
RNS and it will prompt you to accept new files. You select yes, and it will rewrite
your boot screen. The whole process takes around 2 minutes and of course can be
changed back before returning or selling your unit, Setconfig comes with all 3
variations of VW boot screen for A/B/C/D/E/F/G units. You can view a
demonstration of this boot screen at the below link:
With this option you can edit FW scripts before you load them onto your RNS
Unit. There are certain options that you can comment out which will save close to
20-30 minutes in FW updating time.
