To make the chances you will need a dealer tool or Vagcom/VCDS. This guide covers the use of Vagcom/VCDS.

Open controller 37 – navigation and click on coding – 07

Click Long Coding Helper

Byte 1 select Bit 01 – Volkswagen Sound System.

This is the standard amplifier used in many Volkswagen cars, this changes the outputs from High to Low.

Byte 2 select Bit 00 – Sound System (active Speakers)

volkswagen_vcds_controller_37_long_coding_byte_2_sound_system

Byte 4 select Bit 01 – Speaker Monitoring Inactive (Sound System)

This turns off the speaker monitoring, the amplifier which is driving the speakers is performing this task and will report any problems with the speakers. If there is no amplifier the headunit does this checking.

Byte 5 select Bit 00 – Equalization: Linear

Exit the long coding helper and save the changes. The RNS 510 doesn’t require a reboot and should start sounding better.

Another change that can be beneficial is changing the loudness, this can be performed by entering the test mode.
