It is well out of date!

Ther have been quite a few updates since then. I suggest updating one at a time, checking all is well at each update rather than going straight to the latest version, as it always allows another update to a later version if it gets hung in one.

I’ve put a guide on doing this here:

Let me know if you require the firmware updates and I will send you a private message with the links.

Hi Marc

Only just getting around to going for the firmware update, would you please be able to provide a link as to where I can download these?

Thanks

Dear RNEG owners,
I read trough many forums on the web regarding the sporadic restarting issue related to the Harman-Becker RNEG unit. I also exhausted all the the suggested possibilities by doing firmware update, factory reset, battery line disconnection, SD card replacement, cooling fan unit checking, etc... without any success. It is also mentioned in many discussion forums that the cause of the problem could be a faulty flash chip or EEPROM. However I was unable to find out more detailed information regarding the details. I think some of the people is aware the solution but they simply do not share it because repairing these kind of units is a good business for them. Would you guys have any idea which exact components on the main board should be replaced or reprogrammed to fix the unit? Mine also has the same annoying problem and it would be great to find the defective part.
Thanks.

These units have no hard drive, and I suspect that the flash eeprom chip gets corrupted and needs the code re-writing or replacing the chip. There is software needed to do this that is quite expensive along with the tools, so is prohibitively expensive to obtain unless you are doing this from a business point of view.

If it was a simple or cheap repair then you can bet that the ‘tools’ would already be out there and people would be repairing the units themselves.

I also believe that cooling the unit properly is an issue, as there is so little room for air to circulate in these units - which also have to cope with the heat required by the passengers from the car’s heating system.

The NG4 Navidrive unit that I have is a double DIN unit so has additional space for air to circulate, but does have a hard disk too. I currently have preserved my hard disk and run it off an IDE CF card because of lack of availability of the automotive grade compatible disks available. But the NG4 can also suffer problems where the chip code has to be re-written, but is far less frequent than the RNEG MyWay units.

I've had a look around and all links that I've found to the RNEG_R50b_R50.03 update are dead or have been removed.** I suspect that judging by the lack of other replies that other people have also found this.

Maybe your only hope is that someone has downloaded this in the past and has kept a copy that you could share.

EDIT ** Without paying for it that is.

I followed another link and this might be it. The link will take you to a French blog post. There's a video as well (in French), the first part of which deals with updating the firmware. It seems to take only a matter of a minute or so. The second part details updating the SD card containing the map data.

I clicked on the 'ici' in "1.Télécharger le logiciel contenu dans un dossier, ici. (Cliquer sur « Télécharger avec votre navigateur »)." which is a few lines further down than the video and downloaded a 22-1/2 MB RAR file. The contents appear to be the same as briefly glimpsed in the video. Apart from this I can't confirm anything more as I don't have this system.

Further down the page there are links to 2016-2017 map updates.

I have all the updates if you still need to undertake the update. I can’t remember now if we PM’d about this as I’ve cleared a lot of history out from my messages.

It looks like it has loaded the recovery mode from the CD - and is now awaiting the flashing process to complete. Have you left it for the 10 minutes yet? - don't turn off or eject whilst it is doing this - until finished.
