Stupid rnse question

[xyber]

Is there a stop button for CDs or to turn the radio off without turning the whole unit off, I can't bloody work it out for some reason

Thanks

just push the power button and it pauses/mutes. Well it does if your software is above version 100.

I'll give it a bash mate thanks, if it's not version 100 or above how would I got about upgrading it? Main stealer I suppose?

Nope - just buy the map DVD (they're often on eBay, but make sure you get an RNS-E one and NOT an MMI one) and shove it in the DVD drive.

If there's newer SW on the map DVD a SW update is automatically carried out - BTW the progress bars move VERY slowly, and can appear to freeze altogether for several minutes, but this is normal.

Spoke to the main dealer who said I cannot update the SW on my RNS-E as its the older unit that has no hard drive?

Got a copy of the 2009 nav disc on its way to me now so ill have a look

Go back and shoot the dealer, and never ever visit them again. That is complete and utter boll**ks! Their total lack of product knowledge means they cannot be trusted with your car.

You update the SW in ANY RNS-E of ANY age simply by inserting a newer map DVD, you can insert the latest 2009_1 DVD into a 2004 build RNS-E and it will update it and work just like a new 2009 RNS-E.

yep, 2009 disc did the SW update and all sorted, I cant believe a main dealers can be that hopeless!!!! I almost feel like going back down and showing him the facts!
