I was finally able to find someone on line who had the update software. I downloaded the file, burned it onto a DVD and then proceeded with the update. It worked EXACTLY like your wonderful video. I'm not happy with VW for forcing me to go through this, or providing a free disk to do the update, but here we are. Thanks for the great tutorial. 😁
@@anonunknown124 he probably cant even use the touch screen so might no be able to update if he cant press the 'firmware update option' once he puts the disk in...but for 10$ its worth a try
Absolutely the best method to resolve this terrible problem. I struggled with my system for over a year with the intermittent starting and stopping and the display not working properly. I was at the point of seriously considering laying out some big bucks for a new one. So I found the seller on Ebay and gave it a shot. For about thirteen bucks the problem is completely solved. Thanks so much for posting this as it saved me and a lot of people some big money 😊😊
Thank you! I tried making my own firmware disc a year ago, but had version 5238 and it didn't work for me. I was able to find a download for 5382 and it fixed my continuous boot loop!
My radio loops as if it’s rebooting with a disfigured VW logo as well. But that’s all I see, I can’t get to the screen to find the version I have. Any ideas please. This is the 2nd time the radio has failed. The first time it had an error read out about image something. Thanks
HELP!! I have a black screen that is stuck and draining the battery because it won't turn off. It says "Software Download - Source Activated - Searching for SWL Image".....dealership took fuse out so it won't drain my battery and only offered me a new radio for $6000.00!!!!!!
Hello, I have an amarok 2018 comfortline with the loop problem, I would like you to help me, how do I know which version I should download and where? could you help me with your contact please
Hi guys got a 2013/14 multivan high line 4x4 in Australia. The screen goes from black to scattered VW start up screen like the vid here! I can’t control the head unit whatsoever it just does what I just said! If I order the CD and put it in will it just do the same as the vid here and unload its self and fix the issue ? If so great !! And where would u be able to order This CD from ? Anyone got a link ? Cheers guys ! 🙏🤙
Nice video and commentary! I have the same issue and have ordered the disc. Problem is, the radio won’t load a disc of it isn’t booted up so did you have to wait until yours finally booted up in order to run the disc?
Not sure if you still have the disc but I just found out that if you hold the star, eject, and guide button it will force the radio into the install screen. I’m currently halfway through the download and my radio has been stuck on the fender screen for two years. I’ll give you an update if it worked after forcing it!
I know it can be found online for download. I didn't know where to look for it so just ordered the dvd. I would think you could google it to find the download.

Would you care to share where you found the software?
Can someone add where to find the cd? Or is anyone here selling a copy?
My wife's radio has been power cycling for 2 years. Ordered the CD and this fixed it!
Thank you so much!
My radio is stuck in power cycling too. How were able to find out which cd you needed for update. Thank
Where can I get the cd help please
What if you can’t get to the screen where it tells you what version you have??
You probably need the 5238 firmware update disk.

Like others my cycles so there is no way I can see the version. Any suggestions?

I bought one from the scrap yard but it wasn't the same. The fender with navi is rare and has so many more plugs in the back. hope this works for me.
Wow. I thought I was the only one with the screen like that. Can't wait to try this.

Hey, i have the RNS510 in my golf 6. It says Welcome to Volkswagen, do you think this will work in Europe aswell? Im from The Netherlands.
I'm not 100% sure. I would think it should work if it is the same model radio.
