AlexCF, think I'll try the router method, tried the link in the tutorial, no longer exists. Do you have a link to a version,you are using for router method.

Went to Of Modems and Men Supported Routers and Modems, but it is not clear to me, if they are suitable.

 

Hey,

Get the MR3020, it's cheap and works fine. If you want to spend a bit more, and actually it's a bit more helpful which is the MR3040, as it has a battery pack.

What I've got is:
USB dongle, UGREEN from Amazon
MR3020
Anker charger socket
MMI USB cable
3/4G Huawei device which runs CDC/HiLink. Easy to find on Amazon.

I installed OpenWRT version 15.05.01 (whatever is current). Once installed, you need to do a few things (I've assumed the reader of this has good knowledge of networking/OpenWRT):
1) Connect your laptop via a wired connection, it may DHCP to a 192.168.1.0/24 address, but if not, set as .2
2) Set the password on the device, otherwise SSH will not work.
3) Connect OpenWRT to your local WiFi (Network->WiFi) so that you can get some internet connectivity
4) Download putty if you do not have an SSH client (for PC) or on Mac use Terminal, and SSH to 192.168.1.1, user root, the password is whatever you set.
5) Type opkg update; opkg kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether
6) After installing that, which should install some dependencies also, type reboot
7) When it comes back up, insert the 3G/4G dongle in, and on the web interface, add a new Interface called "wan", using interface eth1, set this as a DHCP Client, as it will learn the IP address from the 3G/4G dongle.
8) To check whether this has worked, if you login via SSH as explained above and type "dmesg | grep ether" without quotes, it should show a line with a MAC address, which should look like this: 00:11:aa:bb:cc...
9) Set the Wired port to have the following details:
IP: 192.168.2.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.8.1 (you might need to check what the dongle sets, but this is what mine used and seems to be standard)
DNS: 8.8.8.8

Make sure DHCP is enabled, and on the advanced options tab, tick "force dhcp if another exists"

10) Disable/delete the Wireless adjacency you setup to get internet connectivity.
11) Plug your laptop back in if you unplugged it and change it to DHCP/auto configure, and should give you a 192.168.2.x address. Also, at this point the USB dongle should have a static blue light on it - meaning it's connected and working
12) On your laptop try and visit a website, or 192.168.8.1, and you should see the Huawei page.

If all of that is working drop it in your car, and you should be good to go! I played around with it quite a lot to get it working, so happy to answer any questions.

Hi Alex thanks for the info, now have a connect, I downloaded the latest firmware for the MR3020. Worked through both your hints and the pdf from mizza.


When I run from the green menu IP config, now get ping results from local and remote test. Tried POI test and works Ok.


So it appears I have it setup. But when I go to map view, above 2d 3d there is Google Maps with a check box, which is ticked. But it is greyed out. Is this the same on your setup? Or can you check uncheck ?


Also so far have not got the street view, (Google Earth) have you got yours operating?


Also went into Setup -> Navigation, Route Guidance, selected road view, thinking that would bring up street view.


In equipment you have MMI USB cable, I take it you plug into the MMI socket in the glove box and will use usb to ether to connect to the MR3020


My equipment MR3020
Huawei 3G/4G dongle
O2 data sim
USB power supply hi jacked the iPhone charge


Telenet in not that confident of that, reasonably Ok with network setup

I followed mizza pdf file, setup and MR3020 address is 172.16.1.254, in his description that is the address he described, not sure why?


Cheers

 

Ok. So if data is working, so should the maps. It did take some time to kick in, which maybe downloading cache?

Street View only works if you're using a SIM from what I've read!

Also Online Traffic doesn't work without a subscription, unless someone can help here? TMC works fine...

Reference the in the display is Google Maps greyed out your setup? or can you check uncheck. Maybe I am getting to hung up on the fact you cant check or uncheck.

 

By USB I mean SD cards, sorry!

 

Hi Morning Alex, I guess I mis read the instruction, I thought the 4th disc added an uninstall capability.

So here's what I tried ran the "Uninstall disc", "Rebooted", on start, went through each menu selection to ensure RNS850 was completely running. Installed the first 3 discs. Rebooted.

Green Menu IPconfig, Ping tests all ok.

Exit green menu, GoogleEarth still greyed out.

Green Menu Config, GoogleEarth-> restart "reports GE MMI "Not Loaded".

It would appear GE earth MMI is not loading.

I take it on your install you select the check in Map 2D, 3D you can select the check box for Google Maps?, where as mine remains greyed out.

Checked Firmware Version I Have HN+EU_VW_K0821
MU Software 0934

 

Well, if you try to disable fairmode and put SIM back I am quite confident Street view will work (no need to unplug MR3020 for this).
I got a friend that managed tp have both SIM and Mobile BT connected with RSAP protocol but .... that's something I cannot test and therefore I cannot assist you.

 

Unfortunately iPhone does not support RSAP, ah well just have to settle with what I have, thanks for the assistance

 

Hi,

I have a 2011 Touareg Hybrid.
I manage to upgrade my RNS 850 to the latest software version and also the maps for Europe with the 2017 version, my problem is that i could not make the Wifi give me access to the internet ... i can connect to it but i have no internet access and the Google Maps part is grayed out. and also if i add a sim card i can not connect my phone via bluetooth only for the audio player.

I would be very grateful if someone could guid me and help me.
Thanks

 

U need to reinstall GA from FW. Only that module in manual mode.

 

Regarding sim and and BlueTooth, if you insert a sim, then bluetooth connection is disabled.

Google Maps greyed out, if you read a post of mine, on the previous page, I describe a similar problem. The post give details on how to check, if Google Earth module is loaded. On my intstall, it wasn't. I found another copy of the firmware, reinstalled and GE module loaded Ok

 

Sim Problem

And i have another issue if a use for Example: T-mobile, Vodafone or Orange the car phone works and it has a strong signal, but if i use a Provider called DiGI frequents 2100 MHz www digimobil es the phone has no signal at all. do you have any idea why ?

Nothing related to RNS system.
Possibly your SIM cannot be registered to that provider because of lack of agreement with the different companies.

 

Hi Guys,
I have a problem but I didn't see about this.. I installed today the lastest version for my RNS 850 with SIM, I introduce the SIM card with data traffic in the slot and I didn't find the "Google Earth/maps" button. I saw on youtube that this must appear on "2D" and "3D" buttons. I have looked in the green menu and in the section with "google earth" all from there are activated and say "working", or something similar
Can you help me please with this?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

 

Hi Alex. What you see is absolutely normal.
If you read the whole thread or simply look for my GE activation tutorial, you will see what you miss.


My tutorial reports a long procedure for those who do not have the SIM card. You can SKIP it.


In summary you need the following:
- some specific settings in the green menu
- a GE activation script

 

I am looking on this theard for this tutorial but I don t find it. Can you tell me please the post, the page?
Thanks

 

Here is the full story about the how to has been found :
[Tuto] Online Services (Audi Connect, Google Earth & Trafic Online) en WIFI - Page 12 - MMI 2G - 3G - 3G Plus / GPS advanced - Forums Audi-Passion - 4Legend.com - Page 12


This is where you can find what you need: https://mega.nz/#!5o...zy0tw4e2Cak-NXY


I hope the link is still working because I cannot check it right now.


Keep us informed.

 

I found it, but please if you can tell me what part I must do from this tutorial... Which points? I have already SIM slot. Only the part with green menu?

Thanks

 

This is exactly my tutorial.
What was not clear in my previous message ?

"In summary you need the following:
- some specific settings in the green menu
- a GE activation script "

So , to be more clear:

In summary you need the following:
1) some specific settings in the green menu --> follow chapter 3 of my guide
2) install GE activation script --> follow point b of chapter 2

point c of Chapter 2 is optional and needed only if something is not working for diag.

 

I have a USA 2011 Hybrid and have been scouring the Russian site trying to find info on how to upgrade to google maps. I've already updated my RNS 850 to the latest available version.

Has anyone successfully updated their USA-spec system?

Sorry. Never tried.
You can try and see if it works.
Install makes a back-up on SD of previous situation and you can always come back.

It should be safe even if I cannot confirm it because I did not test it.

 

Link for script files is dead. Anyone have it?

I had my system updated K0821 and the latest maps (6.23.2) at the dealer (2011 euro-Treg). However very little seems changed.
I would like to give this activation routine a shot if someone has a link to the scripts...

I cannot check right now. Are you saying that the link at discussion 300 is dead ?
I will see what I can do from home this evening.
Otherwise send your e-mail via PM to me.

 

Hi everyone!
Im Mario and Ive a Treg 2012 with hn+_eu_vw_P0534 software media, i dont know if its posible to install something for doing posible run Mirrorlink or android car in my Treg, i want it for the google maps. how can i do?

sorry for my english

 

No way for mirrorlink unless you like to change the radio system :wink2:

For google maps, you can activate Google Earth that is a layer above the installed map.
For doing this you need to update your FW end activate some features in the system.

There are very detailed tutorial in the net ... some are from myself.

 

Several doubts

Hello everyone,

I would like to have google Earth and I need you to help me to update the rns 850.
I have a Touareg 2015 with RNS 850 FW P0784 and maps 6.19.3 of origin and I have several doubts.
Can I upgrade directly to FW 821 and 6.24.2 or do I have to go through older versions?
Do these versions work for Spain? Language and maps?

Thank you very much in advance. :wink2:

Yes, you can upgrade directly to FW 821 and 6.24.2.
Spanish language is supported as far as Spain will remain in Europe

Read carefully all the tutorials befor to proceed.

 

Hello,

Thanks for your tips Miazza.


I will study well the steps to follow and as soon as I have an occasion, I will try my luck.

Thanks a lot.

 

Hi all
I have a question. If i have a sim slot in my RNS850 i must only copy director and files from 02 - RNS850-GE_ENABLE directory to SD Card and run script and then only activate option in green menu ?

This script also works on Audi MMi 3G and 3GP ?

 

Quick question:

If I have Touareg 2011 do I need to follow this thread or is this for 2015 and later models only?

This will work for 2011. It did for me.

But how run it on RNS850 with slot SIM ? Only run second script GE_Enebale and go to green menu as in manual ?

 

YES.

 

And then i can use my smartphone connected by bluetooth as Handsfree and google maps from slot sim in RNS850 at the same time ?

 

YES.
The GE Enable script is not altering in any way the SIM module.

 

But what do this script ? It also works on MMI 3GP ?

 

Well, if you are interested in what does it do you can just edit it with notepad ++ and look inside.


In summary it changes some settings inside your RNS850 just to enable Google Earth... nothing else.


No, for MMI3GP this is not necessary but you need the first script to run and the same mod to green menu.

 

Ok
In RNS850 with slot SIM i must first run this script and then go to Green Menu and uncheck specific option as in manual.

In MMI 3GP with slot SIM i only must uncheck specific option in Green Menu ?

But for run 3G on RNS850 and MMI 3GP without i must first run script to run GSM router...?

 

Ok
In RNS850 with slot SIM i must first run this script and then go to Green Menu and uncheck specific option as in manual.

YES. You can also perform the Green menu settings before the script but they will become operative only after the script is executed.

In MMI 3GP with slot SIM i only must uncheck specific option in Green Menu ?

Here we are talking of Touareg RNS850 and I am not very familiar with Audi MMI 3GP which is quite similar but not identical.
I guess this might not be sufficient because GE need to be activated inside MMI 3GP.
Look in specific Audi forum and you'll find what you need.

But for run 3G on RNS850 and MMI 3GP without i must first run script to run GSM router...?

YES. Most likely if you run the router install script your SIM module will remain disabled because the script install the fairmode.

 

ok thanks Tommorow i try it...

 

And are you sure that to enebale Google i must uncheck in Green Menu all option in /diagnose/coding/internal_modules_1+2 ?

Maybe only uncheck this option, becuase i found on ther page that only this must be uncheck
-Online POI(off)
-online Portal(off)
-Online NAVI(off)
-Offroad Navigation(off)
-Online POI voice(off)



and in /diagnose/settings/tel_settings
i must only check
NAD activation ?
Not check also NAD operation mode ?

 

Sorry for late reply.
What I am sure is that if you follow my tutorial it will work.
If you do something different ... that's up to you.:wink2:
