Hi guys quick question. I have the RNS 315 sat nav Head unit, and Im about to fit an amp and interface. This will involve dissconnecting the battery. Will I need to do anything on re-connection? In the olden days you needed your radio code, but today I think the head unit is married to the car via vagcom. So can you just plug it back in and it will reconise the car and work straight away. Cheers guys.

I am sure your not, but i have had my battery disconnected over a weekend and it might.
From reading up on this a while back, if your battery is diconnected for long periods of time it can lose the coding ... the guide i was told was connect back up before the 10 hour mark.

I have done a couple now ... I am heading down to REVO on the 6th April ... i am sure you will be sorted by then ... but if not i will pop over!!

No real tips appart from do your research on what needs to be coded and when you code something new like a RNS radio there are standard options that need to be removed.

The few you've coded what kind of issues did they have with Rns 510?
Great if your coming down to Revo in April i rather wait and have you look at it.

In the meantime i will do my research and find out what needs to be coded.


problems i'm having are:
1. Rns 510 system isn't communicating with the car's MFD, ie. Sat nav directions don't show on MFD, bluetooth and Steering controls don't work
2. MIDI device isn't working with the RNS 510.

Im having my amp fitted on wednesday so Ill let you guys know if the headunit requires re-coding. I phoned up seat, he said some head units will be fine and others need re-coding to the ecu (not much help as usual). But he did say they would do it for me.....for £35 quid.
