  • This video is showing how I was able to fix my reboot looping issue in my 2014 Volkswagen Passat TDI SEL with the RNS 510 with navigation radio. I have owned this car for 3 years. The Fender startup screen has always been jumbled up since I owned it. The radio would usually start up after about 30 seconds. Recently the radio started to stay in the boot screen for longer periods of time. Sometimes taking as long as 30 minutes to boot up. I started researching online for a fix and saw that this was a common problem with the RNS 510. I saw that some people online said that they were able to fix the reboot loop problem by updating the RNS firmware. I googled RNS 510 Firmware update and was taken to Ebay. There are people selling copies of the firmware update disk on there. There are a few different VW firmware updates available so you need to make sure you are getting the correct version for your radio unit. Make sure you read the description in the ad to get the correct version. This video will show you how to check your current software version to see which update version you will need. I paid $10 for my disk so figured it was worth a try to see if it would fix my radio before buying an aftermarket radio. The video shows me doing the software update. It did fix my startup Fender Logo screen and the reboot loop issues. The Radio now starts up after about 15 seconds every time. I am very happy with the results.

    Absolutely the best method to resolve this terrible problem. I struggled with my system for over a year with the intermittent starting and stopping and the display not working properly. I was at the point of seriously considering laying out some big bucks for a new one. So I found the seller on Ebay and gave it a shot. For about thirteen bucks the problem is completely solved. Thanks so much for posting this as it saved me and a lot of people some big money 😊😊

      I bought one from the scrap yard but it wasn't the same. The fender with navi is rare and has so many more plugs in the back. hope this works for me.

    Hi guys got a 2013/14 multivan high line 4x4 in Australia. The screen goes from black to scattered VW start up screen like the vid here! I can’t control the head unit whatsoever it just does what I just said! If I order the CD and put it in will it just do the same as the vid here and unload its self and fix the issue ? If so great !! And where would u be able to order This CD from ? Anyone got a link ? Cheers guys ! 🙏🤙

    Nice video and commentary! I have the same issue and have ordered the disc. Problem is, the radio won’t load a disc of it isn’t booted up so did you have to wait until yours finally booted up in order to run the disc?

    • @candoozoolack3799
      @candoozoolack3799 Před 7 měsíci

      Not sure if you still have the disc but I just found out that if you hold the star, eject, and guide button it will force the radio into the install screen. I’m currently halfway through the download and my radio has been stuck on the fender screen for two years. I’ll give you an update if it worked after forcing it!

    My radio loops as if it’s rebooting with a disfigured VW logo as well. But that’s all I see, I can’t get to the screen to find the version I have. Any ideas please.
    This is the 2nd time the radio has failed. The first time it had an error read out about image something.
