Audi A3/A4/A6 RNS-E Firmware SW0650 / SW0660

The new Firmware (SW0650) for AUDI RNS-E AUDI DVD based navigation system. New features in SW 0650 are: 1) altimeter (like MMI) 2) no 400 files limit on SD cards 3) more sound settings (bass, highs, middle) 4) navi announcement from both speaker (left/right) 5) title scrolling in the DIS (You could use map DVDs from 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008) The SW0660 is NOT official SW? It's 0650 that have the SDS (Voice Command). I also put the VIM (Video in Motion) Hack in the map together whit the old firmware that is used for VIM Hacking. To do the official update (SW0650) just unzip the file "RNS-E_SW0650_STD.zip" and burn it to ROOT folder of a CD, dont forget to finalize the cd. Do not burn it in Vista it wont work.

How is it supposed to be applied ?
Just putting the CD inside the RNS-E ?

It updates fine, just put the cd in the dvd slot, takes a few minutes.
...BUT... it doesn't work with a 2005 DVD MAP :-(

Har provat uppgraderingen och VIM hacket själv och det fungerar bra. Dock så fungerar inte alla dom saker som lovats med uppgraderingen tex. "title scrolling in DIS" och några till med altimeter fungar och AUX IN fungerar också. Kan ej användas med 2005s kartor det är från 2006 och framåt.

Could somebody help to me?I wrote the Dvd2 with Clone cd on 4X speed to an verbatim DVD+4,7gb.it started to install the new software sw650,and after the navi did't recognize the DVD...
The biggest Problem was that my friend had an original DVD from 2006.After that the navi system didn't recognize this DVD too,because the DVD is not compatible with the nav system,pelase go to the Audi trader....
Waht should I do?Please,help somebody...Sholud I write the DVD with Nero?

I extracted the 0650 zip, copied the files to the root of a cd, burned and finalized with Finder.
When I put in my RNS-E -- it just says unknown files. Do I need to do something specific like press sat and go into menus or anything?

Was recording with Finder and Burn.app which don't record ISO9660 CDs -- used Toast Titanium to record an ISO9660 CD and the firmware was updated successfully!

Wrote this with Nero on a normal CD (just the files from the official version). Works fine. Just put the CD in the navigation unit (not CD-CHANGER) and it will start the update. It takes about 5-10 minutes and the navigation will restart itself twice.
Remove the disc after the navigation shuts down (not before). Of course, you must turn it on first :)

WHere should I see so called altimeter ?
I successfully applied SW650 (aor at least it appears so) but I cannot see anything new at all.
What's the meaning of the other files (EU_80, RNSE_VIM1.10) ?

scrapetorrent (2009-02-09)

I installed SW0650 and I have:
1) no more sound settings - only bass and treble as before.
2) no navi announcement from both speaker (left/right) - only announces from right speaker
3) no title scrolling in the DIS, I only see first few letters of track.
Any ideas?

ok here's how it looks from my point of view. I downloaded this image and burned it at Verbatim DL, you simply have to use dual layer disc as the image have data for both 'layers' and burning it on regular DVD wont take results. I do not have Pioneer, I used ASUS recorder with Nero 6 software (6 as I remember), slow speed. I didn't set any booktypes, recorder recognized DL DVD+RW. I
After updating on my Navi+ (dont remember previous version) to 0600 system says that this Navigation Disc is not compatible with the software.
Silly to me as update was made from the same disc as navi so when both are on the same disc should be compatible with each other. Anyway, I have downloaded Software Update (06500) and burned it (same recorder) on regular Sony CD, closing session of course. It has successfully upgrated Audi Navi+ system. After that I placed DVD with maps (mentioned DVD2 for RNS-E) and he STILL says it is not compatible.
I have original one copy of Version 2006_1 for western europe and I wanted to have eastern too.
I don't know the reason why downloaded maps don't work. I have no idea if I had any mistakes during burning. Some informations other users give are so not clear so I have described my case in details.
Anyone have any suggestions, tips? What might went wrong? Now I will try to download exact version of Navi Disc I have (2006_1) but the second disc (eastern europe) and find out if it will work. By the way I own Audi a3, prod. year 2005 with originally fitted Navi+.
should I strictly use Clone CD? Should I look after Pioneer recorder? What is the reason? Will be grateful for any help.

Does the Audi_rns-e_2010_west work with this new firmware?
