CAN Gateway Upgrade - Now nothing works!

Hi All

I am in the process of upgrading to a RCD510 on my 2005 MKV GTI and therefore also upgrading the CAN Gateway.

Current Gateway:
Part No: 1K0 907 530 E (1K0907530E)

New CAN Gateway I purchased off eBay:
Part No: 7N0907530AA
URL: VW CAN BUS Gateway RNS510 RCD510 RNS315 RNS310 7N0907530AA Latest Version | eBay

I followed the instructions on my-gti.com (CAN bus gateway removing, installing and upgrading – Volkswagen Golf | my-gti.com I took screenshots of all my current configurations and then proceeded to swap out the gateway. Once I swapped it out, I tried to re-code the new gateway; however, one of the options was missing and once I re-coded I got hundreds of errors and my fog lights no longer worked (Only thing I immediately noticed).

I used the "Installation List" to re-code the new gateway, one of the options was missing. I then went to the long coding to try and see if I could manually re-enter the long code; however, there are no options at all, everything is missing...

Please see pictures:

This is strange.

One thing I have noticed about the gateway you bought, is that the HW number doesn't match your original gateway.

I bought a 2011 Gateway, and even though the software number was different, the HW number was the same.

Don't take what I say as gospel, it's just my observation.

Hey Mate

Would you be willing to let me try it and if it works I will purchase it off you? (what price are you after?)

PS: This could be the problem, I have had another look on eBay and most of them for Golf seem to be 1k... not sure what i got..

Thanks

Remi

You bought a fake one BTW.
