Summary of Contents for Volkswagen RNS 510

  • Page 2 RNS 510 Radio/Navigation System How the touch screen works The touch screen used on the RNS 510 radio Spacer dots Touch point navigation system works according to the resistive principle. This means that the touch recognition uses resistance-based technology. When you touch the touch screen, the outer glass layer is pressed against the glass base layer.
  • Page 3 The horizontal and vertical monitor coordinates are x total determined based on the principle of the voltage S397_038 divider. Another example of this functioning principle is the potentiometer. To clarify the procedures taking place in the touch- sensitive layer of the touch screen, we will break down the process into two steps: - measurement in horizontal direction and - measurement in vertical direction...
  • Page 4 RNS 510 Radio/Navigation System Measurement in vertical direction To determine the second coordinate of the touch point, the controller applies the voltage (U ) of y total 5 volt to the front indium tin oxide layer. The current now flows in vertical direction (Y-direction). There is...
  • Page 5 Polarisation filter on touch screen Large glare effect without polarisation film Smooth surfaces like glass reflect light so that the picture on a monitor is difficult to see when light conditions are too bright. Glare effect External light Polarisation filters are used to change the reflection behaviour and thus reduce glare effects.
  • Page 6 RNS 510 Radio/Navigation System Storage media The RNS 510 radio navigation system uses an internal hard drive as a storage medium and a reader for digital memory cards (SD cards). Internal hard drive of RNS 510 The RNS 510 has a 2.5" IDE single-platter hard drive to handle and manage large quantities of data.

  • Page 7: Sd Card Reader

    SD card reader Using the reader built into the RNS 510, it is possible to read SD cards as used in mobile devices and PCs. SD stands for “Secure Digital”. SD cards are rewritable storage media (flash memory). The RNS510 can currently read SD cards with a capacity of up to 2 gigabytes.

  • Page 8: Dvd Player

    RNS 510 Radio/Navigation System DVD player Since a DVD drive is used in the RNS 510, it is also possible to play standard video DVDs in addition to reading the navigation DVD that comes with the system. As DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs) use different...
  • Page 9 Display functions S397_102 The touch screen on the RNS 510 radio/navigation The following functions are explained briefly in the system has numerous display functions and display following section: possibilities. In addition to the graphics menus for - Menu switch-over support...
  • Page 10 The displayed windows and menus are processed graphically and programmed according to function in order to show the different information on the VGA display of the RNS 510 in the easiest way for the user. One type of preparation is alpha blending, which means the scalable transparency of screen elements like on an in-screen display.
  • Page 11 The transparency can be achieved in the form of different effects: - Light glimmering of the background when windows or screen elements are displayed, for example, a volume bar. - Different transparency levels of a display level like a map interface for navigation display and simultaneous display of submenu - Different window brightness levels for submenus like control fields and controls, to give the surface...
  • Page 12 RNS 510 Radio/Navigation System Split-screen function In “Navigation” mode, the RNS 510 has a function for It is, for example, possible to display the “Compass”, split-screen display. An additional window is used that “Additional Map” and “GPS Viewer” submenus in is displayed over the current screen content.

  • Page 14 RNS 510 Radio/Navigation System Display types in navigation mode There are three display types or perspectives for displaying maps in navigation mode: - 2D map display - topographic 2D display - 3D bird’s eye view The map can be shown at different scales in all display types.
  • Page 15 3D bird’s eye view This virtual 3D view corresponds with a “tilted” 2D-map view and gives you the impression that you are looking at the map landscape from a raised point. The surface display still corresponds with a two- dimensional view that has been given a feeling of perspective by rotating the map surface.
  • Page 16 RNS 510 Radio/Navigation System Autozoom This is a dynamic zoom function that is constantly adapted. When it is switched on, the navigation system calculates the best display scale depending on the road class being used and the distance to the next manoeuvre point.
  • Page 17 “Premium” mobile phone preparation was discontinued. If a vehicle is not equipped with the RNS 510 or with other devices that have a touch screen, for example, the RCD 510 radio, it is only possible to operate the “UMPP Premium Light” with the multifunction steering wheel or alternatively with the steering column switch depending on the vehicle model and equipment.
  • Page 18 Furthermore there are different pre-programmed user interface designs for this system depending on the vehicle type. There are three different coding variants for the RNS 510 that can be selected and activated with the VAS tester. The memory requirement for the displays stored for each version is 2Mb each.

For example, it receives the following information via the CAN data bus protocol:...
  • Page 23 Twin-tuner principle Two different, processed aerial signals are required for the twin-tuner principle. This is achieved by means of a spatial separation of the aerials and separate amplification of the signals.
