The Maisun HU was for Touaregs without dyna audio.
I think you have some major rewiring to do in order for this maisun HU to work with an Dyna set-up. If you plug in the Maisun unit to the Touareg harness then you are sending the wrong signals to the dyna amplifier. That could be causing your hissing and maybe more problems.

How can I find out if I have the Dyna option? I got my Tregg second hand, and am not sure if it has that option. I came with the VW OEM satnav with tweeters allover the car.
Lockups and how to reset?
One thing that has happened to me is that my HU Nav has now locked-up. I started getting 'Out of Memory' message boxes a couple days ago and when I turned on the unit today the Nav screen I was on the day before showed up with multiple out of memory errors. Clearing them by clicking Ok seems to have done it in.
Now I need to know is how to give the unit the old 3 fingered salute? What is the reset procedure? I can't seem to find that anywhere and haven't struck the right button combo. I too have constant power to ACC. I think I may also have 'lost' the hiss - but it was there even with the same power to ACC on install.
Because there are several ways to get to an application Radio/Nav/Bluetooth/etc either via the push buttons or the touch screen buttons - I am wondering as I click through some of the applications are might not be shutting down properly?
Thanks for the great info - I'll be following your next report with interest.For those still with issues (speaker hiss, reboots, etc).

I did a reset to default after my last install (+1 week) by using a paper clip and then changed all the appropriate settings within each menu (NAV, Setup, Radio, etc) to my desired settings (mute button audio, Nav setings, baud rates, etc). These worked great for me.Thanks for the great info - I'll be following your next report with interest.

Excellent - I pulled the unit from the dash and pulled the power block to reset - I have two holes one of which will be the microphone - was it the top right side hole?
Oh and by the way - I had an email from Tomi this morning saying the factory was working on the hiss problem - not sure if when that mod will be passed on to us but he will let me know.
Kenwood nav purchase.
thanks!
PS - this info has been invaluable to me and likely saved me $500 on the radio and a likely another trip to rehab. Props to all you guys on the one!!!!
nickm - What Kenwood model did you go with? Does it snap-in with your dynaradio setup? Or, do you need a lot of rewiring/external amp?
thanks!

Hi, guys - any ladies?
I also noticed the hiss when my engine was off so I checked in the back, and surprise, I have an 8 Ch amplifier in the back. (also bought the truck used - sorry; previously enjoyed). I have a DE2 CD radio, no changer.
A check with Vag shows multiple speaker errors so my guess is it's been installed later...
So all of us with amps, we're feeding an amplifier signal input with a really high level amplified speaker signal, no wonder it hisses, I'm amazed it works at all and doesn't get awfully distorted...
An easy fix might be to change connections at HU so those 8 wires are connected to the HU signal outputs not the speaker connections.The question is if the volume control adjusts those outputs or they are fixed level? Anyone?
It's been windy and cold around here so I don't feel like working on the car but will keep you posted.
For the fellow with no heated seats; use the grey wire from 4way flashers, it's the same illumination. My unit is also modified so it only gets the illumination signal from the adjustable interior light signal and not from the HU - ran a separate wire from the HU front panel, if anyone interested I took some pictures what trace needs to be cut - only the front of the unit has to be removed, needs some skills, soldering iron and good eyes. There are about 16 LED's, each with its own current limiting 560 ohm resistor so 12V can be applied to it without problems.
I haven't been able to find a switched positive which turns off when the door is opened or keys removed, everything seems to have permanent B+ and controlled thru Canbus signals, so I will have to use a wire from the door switch with an extra relay added, for which I will have to remove the door panel. this would make the unit work like this: unit runs from the moment the ACC is turned on and only stops when the driver door is opened, no matter what the ACC status is.
Anyone interested, let me know and I will post pictures/schematics.

The wiring to the rear amp needs to be redone on the '04...I went with a DNX 9660. I haven't installed it yet, likely in a week or two as I get time to get around ti ot.

Usually stereo head units can be set to either to send the wattage they are capable (4x45) directly to the speakers or you can choose output to amplifier which reduces the output to a lower level that works with the amplifier. I'm not speaking of low level output as you would have with the digital output but just lower level that doesn't exaggerate/create noise that will only be re-amplified at the second amp. I don't have a Maison unit but look at all the options and settings and see if there is such.Hi, guys - any ladies?

Also, a good ground directly to the chassis or firewall is essential at the head unit (source) and clean power source...If you are using the factory ground in the harness this could be adding to the problem...and never ground the source (head unit) in more than one location or you'll create ground loops and this will definitely add noise. Usually a simple ground to the chassis (firewall, even the steel infrastructure of the dash as long as it is connected to the firewall would be good). Move the ground around and see if it clears up the noise/hiss. Check your wiring to make sure there is not another ground going through the wire harness...take the ground from the head unit and go directly to a chassis ground...sorry to say this over and over but it is a very important part of isolating a noise related issue.
Last, you can filter the power source by purchasing an in-line power filter from Radio Shack or radio shop...even best buy might have such in their install dept...

Hi to everyone. I am from Turkey. Firstly i should say that , this is very useful forum. I learned lots of things.
I have some questions about this aftermarket RNS510.
1) When we put these dvd to 2010 model car, only problem is MFD and steering whell control? All other features; bluetooth, dvd is ok ?
2) Why some buttons doesn't work with 2010 cars ? Can-bus change ?
3) I am very impatient to see the more isntalled pictures. Can you shot your installed photos please ? (especially hd dvd image, tv image, night pictures, camera pictures)
Everyone who installed this unit, can share with us please ?

Reply from dealer to hiss issue
I posted the question to cardct.com on the hiss issue and if they thought that there may be a fix coming to already presold units. I don't know how they would be able to do that and as many of you have already stated its seems to be an amp issue though I don't know that I have an amp in my baseline?
here is the jist anyway of that conversation:
Hi Barry,
We also doubt factory can fix the sold unit or not.
We are discussing with them and expecting a good solution because we have a lot of stock.
We will keep you advised.
Best regards,
Tomi

Hello Tomi.
Yes. GPS working again after completely depowering the unit.
Someone on the forum said the units have a paperclip reset hole on them which he uses instead of removing the unit from thr dash.
I have disabled all the button sounds for each app. This is reported to make the unit more stable.
I also hooked up the rear camera today. Very nice to have, its working well so far.
If the factory can fix the hiss do you think they can offer us that fix?
Regards
Barry
@Madlac
I'd be interested in your ACC fix if you wouldn't mind posting or PM me. However I think it would be good to have in the thread for those behind us wanting to install.
Cheers

I have sent multiple emails to Maisun (Sherry) with regards to GPS not receiving any signal. And having to reset the unit everytime it has been powered down to receive the signal.
Maisun (Sherry) won't acknowledge that there is something wrong with the GPS board.
My unit has TMC option and
Nowada 2450 board
NDW_2450 multi-platform 5.0
Windows CE 5.0.1400
59.7 MB RAM
ARM926EJ S3C2450 (532 Mhz)
800x4800 pixels, 65536 colors
Out of context
I brought my unit from a retailer in China (CardCT.com because I found Tomi to be extremely helpful and truthful pointing out the units sort falls before purchase) it is a Maisun unit although by looking at your YouTube video I seem to have a different OS revision - the graphics are different than mine.
I do not have any problem receiving a GPS signal. My problem was that I would get out of memory errors when using the Nav function. But I think its my own fault as I don't think I was exiting the program fully. So once you flick around a couple of apps then your chew up enough memory to make it difficult for a memory intensive app like navigation to run. Sorry my post was probably out of context since I didn't add the full conversation.
Looking at your video - you do have the Maisun powered up to a constant 12 volts via the ACC wire don't you? It looked like when you turned off the ignition key the unit shut off? I think the very first boot of my unit there was no GPS signal for a while then it just 'sorted itself out'. Haven't had a problem since with signal.

Yes when I turn the ignition off the unit turns off.
No I don't have it connected to ACC. It is wired exactly how it came from Maisun.
What is off. Sometimes I will go for days without any problems and then it will just stop. Then I just have to reset unit and it will work. And then it just stops working, till I just unplug it for a while.

Ok - not sure if this is a problem or not but as I'm sure you have read on this thread - most people has applied always on 12volts to the ACC line. Otherwise its reported that settings are lost. That's the way I connected mine so I have to power it off manually. This way the unit still stays energized. That's why I was interested in Madlac's solution through a series of relays.
I thought that this might be my problem. But I don’t loose any of my radio settings. Only intermittently my GPS doesn’t work. Loosing GPS settings would make a sense.
I will try to find power with ignition on and wire it through the relay to the ACC.

LF7099V LINELLAE with cam
REVIEW FOR LF7099V LINELLAE.....GCC
Hey guys,
Finally I got it installed by a professional. I can’t really give you any details on how it was installed but the functionally no problem. When I was looking for a system the few things important for me was the way my dash board looks after fitting, that’s the reason I didn’t go for a pioneer or JVC or Kenwood because the unit comes out a bit and our dash board is slightly curved, also I need buttons…. Complete touch screen gets a bit annoying for me after sometime while driving. Secondly, good IPod function, I don’t really use CD.
OK here is the review according to the screen menu.
DVD
It works perfectly, there are no glitches. I can even see the DVD menu and skip to a scene if I want. Sound is good; view in the morning is also great. Couldn’t expect anything better. ho ya and it works even while driving. good? or bad? you choose.
VCD/VCDC
When I bought the car it came with six cd changer, my original cd changer works fine with the unit. No issues. But doesn’t show the song title.
USB
I connected a 2 gb USB drive and its works fine, easy to operate. Can watch movies, music and something I didn’t expect view pictures. Pretty sweet.
MICRO SD-CARD
Works just like the USB, video quality is great and so is the sound. But I played a high def. video and it’s lagged. But that was expected.
TV
Didn’t get the option, don’t have good channels here in Oman.
RADIO
Works as good as the factory version. No issues.
BLUETOOTH
I have a Samsung Omnia. The Bluetooth connect easily. And can even play songs from it. But there is a problem. My phone book doesn’t show on the screen. But the sound quality of both receiving and sending calls is good.
IPOD
Connects fine… sound quality is much better from the FM tuner I used before but there is one problem, I have a habit of creating playlist in my iPod and play according to my mood. But in this system I can’t access that. It shows me all the songs in one list according to the alphabetic order. I am really depended on my iPod and this glitch is a problem for me. But I think I’ll get used to it. The iPod wired is connected in the back and my iPod is safely kept in the dashboard. The video from the iPod I haven’t checked, but the after having a USB and SD card option I won’t need it cause the MP4 quality is really low. My friend has an IPhone, will try that later too.
AUX
Haven’t used it. Not sure how will I need it.
NAVIGATION (IGO8 – GCC maps)
Ok now this is a long story. The GPS works fine. The manufacture sent me the maps on a 2 gb sd card but forgot to add English language and English audio, everything was in Arabic…… weird I know. Well I contacted them and they were pretty helpful and send me a link to download the TOMTOM software. I had some difficult in downloading it so instead I downloaded the language and audio from a torrent site and now it works fine. If anyone needs help like that please feel free to ask me.
CAMERA
There rear view cam works fine. Better than I expected. Bright at night. And very clear. It doesn’t collaborate with the steering wheel. What I mean is that when I rotate the steering wheel on the right the markings on the cam doesn’t movie with it. But that’s ok, no big deal. But the cool part is that I can start the cam even while I am driving forward. No real use for it but I will turn it on a muddy road to see the dust fly. Ho ya to fit the cam I had to get a longer wire because the company sent a shorter one. It’s a very simple wired… like the one we use behind a TV to connect a DVD. The cam is fitted in on the bumper. A small whole had to me made, both on the steel plate inside and plastic bumper.
Another, there is also a picture in picture option. Which means I can see the navi and operate the music.
Alright wanna know anything else????? I will add a video of it soon.
final verdict.... buy it. worth the price. more than what i expected. but not really sure how long will it last. few glitches but doest matter that much. i have used the factory version and it has more issues than this.
Enjoy and drive safe
