Hello I have one quick question. When I have inserted the map update card for the V12 version, have I selected to read from the card, can I change to uploading map updates to the navi during use.
I have updated from soft 500 to 501, it went without a problem, no matter what disc and how recorded I checked on CD R and CD RW, recorded as files and from an image and the new software installation window always starts. But I still have an RNS315 with soft 319 and here I have not been able to run the update in any way. Generally these updates are for a specific SW for a specific SW.

Upgrade 3t0035192T from 410 to 417 went from this board.
Buonasera a tutti e grazie per quello che fate. Vorrei sapere se l'eventuale aggiornamento 270 prevede la lingua italiana. Grazie a chi potrà darmi una mano di aiuto. Un saluto a tutti
Hi all, I have an RNS 315 with software 0407 and when I bought the car it was not possible to use Bluetooth. A friend activated it for me with VCDS and Bluetooth works - audio muse from phon and phone calls. I think the microphone was plugged in at the factory, but it was not activated. I have a DAB antenna connected to the rear of the radio. But I have no option in the menu to switch the range to DAB - there is only FM and AM.
Do the softy posted here activate the DAB functions? There is, as I understand it, an update here for the 0417 soft - but I guess for 0407 it won't run. By the code of the radio, it comes out from this table from the post on page one that the 0417 soft should be, and I have 0407. Anyone can tell me how they differ?
Update my rns315:
1. I downloaded the software from the website: https://cdburnerxp.se/ version 64bit/ or 32bit(86)
2. I burned the ISO multi skoda-seat onto a Sony CD at 4x speed (this software is the only one that burns at the speed you choose, other burning software like Imageburn, UltraIso... don't respect speed)
3. I put the CD into the drive and for the first time it ran all 3 columns to 100 percent. (if I burned it on other software about 5x it kept throwing the CD out of the drive).
Ich brauche auch Hilfe bei meinem RNS 315 im Touran.
Welche Firmware kann ich aufspielen und welche ist die aktuellste für mein Model? Wie erstelle ich so eine CD? Davon hab ich keine Ahnung.
Gruß Ingo
Hello friends, I recently bought my son a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta with a 2.0L engine. The car has an outdated RNS310 radio unit. I can't get the Bluetooth to work at all, and the maps are for Western Europe (original), but they do not include Romania, where I live. And now to the question: Is it possible to upgrade it, or is it better to give up on it entirely and replace it with an Android-based unit?
Hello,
I have bought RNS315 SW:0319 HW: h62. There is no Polish language. Supposedly from version 263 there should be. Is there a chance for Polish language?
Initial assessment of available information 1. You own a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan equipped with an RNS 315 head-unit (Windows CE based).
2. You are asking specifically for the “WinCE firmware update file”.
3. No part number, software version (SW xxxx) or hardware version (Hxx) has been posted yet. These three parameters are essential, because Volkswagen/TechniSat released multiple, non-interchangeable firmware branches.
4. The last factory campaign that covered most 2010–2014 VW RNS 315 units was V911403, which updated early software (02xx–03xx) to 0329 or 0417 depending on hardware. Later retail discs exist up to 0501 for late-model units (mainly Seat/Skoda H9x-H10x).
Direct answer to the question There is no single “WinCE firmware” for every RNS 315. You need the *exact* ISO that corresponds to:
• Your part number (e.g. 3C0 035 279 H)
• Your hardware revision (H32, H52, H62 …)
• Your current software level (0263, 0319, 0407 …)
Once those three items are known, we can point you to the correct update image (*.ISO, 630–700 MB). Without them an update attempt can soft-brick the radio.
Detailed problem analysis 1. Why the distinction? The update does not flash only the Windows CE core; it reflashes:
• Boot / GW section
• Application (APL)
• FPGA / audio codec settings
• Maps partition header (but not the maps themselves)
2. Typical firmware branches (simplified)

3. What’s in it for you? • Bug-fixes for spontaneous reboots / SD-map failures
• Full Bluetooth stack (A2DP, PBAP) on units where HW is populated
• Additional languages (Polish arrives in ≥0263, Italian finalised in ≥0270, Brazilian Portuguese in ≥0418)
• DAB icon becomes selectable if your tuner/DAB front-end is fitted (≥0407)
Current information and trends (2025) • No newer official VW disc has surfaced after 0501 (2018 build).
• Community research continues on mhhauto.com and elektroda.com; patched “multi-brand” 0418 images circulate, but always verify CRC/signature.
• USB/SD flashing is still impossible—the bootloader only accepts CRT-signed images from the internal optical drive.
Supporting explanations and details 1. Disc creation best practice – Use QUALITY 700 MB CD-R (Verbatim/Taiyo Yuden).
– Burn as *image* (DAO) at 4 ×. Test read-back.
2. Update procedure a. Engine running or an external 14 V/30 A supply.
b. Insert disc → dialog will show CURRENT vs NEW version.
c. Accept → three progress bars (APP, BOOT, EFS). 12–25 min.
d. Automatic reboot, disc ejects, unit re-indexes media.
Practical guidelines 1. Pull version info: SETUP → hold 10 s → “Versions”. Post:
• Part number (xx0 035 2xx x)
• Software version (four digits)
• Hardware version (Hxx)
2. Decide your target:
• If you only need Polish → 0263+ is enough.
• If you need BT stability and map SD speed → 0330 / 0418.
• If you need DAB icon → 0417/0418 (hardware must contain Silicon Labs Si468x front-end).
3. Find the image:
• Official: ask VW dealer for TSB disc V911403 (rare now).
• Community mirrors: search the topic “RNS 315 Firmware update files” on mhhauto or Elektroda (ID 3625973, page 4-6 lists verified SHA-256 for 0270, 0330, 0417, 0418).
4. Verify checksum before burning (hashes published in the same thread).
Ethical and legal aspects Firmware ISOs remain Volkswagen copyright. Redistribution is legally grey. Always prefer an official dealer, or ensure you already own a licence (the radio itself) before downloading backups from the internet.
Possible disclaimers or additional notes • Power loss = brick. Keep engine idling or connect a bench PSU.
• Cross-brand flashing (e.g. Skoda FW on VW) usually works but changes boot-logo and RDS region tables; roll back requires the original image.
• Maps are separate. Latest free map pack for NA region is v12 (2024-Q4), for EU is v11/v12 depending on country group.
Suggestions for further research • Investigate open-source nav map converter “Tool32_GPS” (thread on gpspower.net) to rebuild SD maps for RNS 315.
• Upcoming solid-state replacements: community STM32-based board that plugs into the CD mechanism slot and boots FW from μSD—promising but experimental (2025).
Brief summary Provide your part #, software #, and hardware # first. When known, the safe upgrade path for most 2013 Tiguan units (likely H62, SW 0319) is disc 3C0 035 279* → 0417 or 0418. Burn the ISO at low speed, keep power stable, and verify checksum beforehand.
Questions for the user 1. What does your RNS 315 show in the hidden “Versions” menu (Part #, SW, HW)?
2. Which extra functions (language, DAB, BT) are you aiming for?
3. Do you already have access to VCDS/ODIS to code new features after the firmware flash?
Post those details and I will link you to the exact ISO name and the MD5/SHA-256 you should compare before burning.

>>21632974 . Good morning! 1. what is the result of updating the system to 0011? I own 0010, how do I get the file? 2. do you know how to update the navigation card?
The discussion centers on firmware update ISO files for the VW RNS 315 navigation and multimedia system, covering various software (SW) versions from 0007 up to 0501 and hardware (HW) versions H04 to H76 across VW, Skoda, and Seat vehicles from 2011 to 2015. Users seek guidance on selecting the correct ISO update based on their current SW version, proper ISO burning methods, and troubleshooting common issues such as "CD error" and update failures. Recommended practices include extracting compressed files before burning, using quality CD-R media (e.g., Verbatim), burning at low speeds (1x to 10x) with software like CDBurnerXP or ImgBurn, and ensuring ISO9660/Joliet file system format rather than UDF. Updates typically fix bugs and add minor features but do not alter language options; Polish language support is present from SW version 0263 onward, but not added by these updates. Firmware updates for Skoda Amundsen and Seat Media System 2.x are compatible with VW RNS 315 hardware, with the device selecting appropriate software automatically. Some users report difficulties updating older or US (NAR) versions due to hardware differences and lack of compatible firmware. Map updates (e.g., V12) often require newer firmware (e.g., 0270 or higher). The update process usually takes 5-30 minutes and is recommended to be done with the car engine running. The discussion also touches on the impossibility of changing menu languages via firmware updates alone and the need for specialized BIN files for language localization. Overall, the thread provides detailed practical advice on firmware update procedures, compatibility, and troubleshooting for VW RNS 315 and related systems. Summary generated by the language model.
