General RT3 update

[Pat H]

Is the RT3 update on the eurovan site:
Download RT3 v5.5d b595 cdrom
The most current version and safe to install on a new Ulysse?
I have V5.41 currently.
Thanks

Me too.

Just remember to have engine running, sim card removed and leave it until it the CD has come out and gone back in a couple of times.

Update seemed to go fine. Pays MP3 files now.
Managed to get to to export a directory record to my PDA via IR but it wasn't happy ging from PDA to RT3.
Noticed that the units config screen offers PSI or BAR anyone know what this is used for?

I too remember seeing that when I updated, but never could work out why. We have tyre pressure sensors as well.

 

[Pat H]

Maybe I need a low pressure tyre to see what it says.

Try doing a single contact at a time. That was the way I managed to get the unit to take the details from my PDA via IR.

 

[Pat H]

Tried that. PDA said it had transfered but RT3 sail it had failed.
I supsect my PDA contact format is too advanced.
I'll try making a slimmed down contact and see if tht works.
Any oth coll tricks 5.5 does?
Have MP3s playing now. Shame they show duration into the track but not time left.

Yes RT3V552ab773.zip was the file I downloaded and used.
It works ok but it's not too elegant. Track names have to be 8 characters ore less or you get less than useful list!
Make sure to follow the advice on doing the update to avoid toasting your RT3.

Re: RT3 read error

Hi guys,

I'm owner of a 2003 Alfa 147 JTD 16 v. Since some time I have a lot of difficulties reading navigation cd's in the built in RT3 Magneti Marelli system. It started with "CD Error" messages while loading CD's that worked very well before. I tried to make new cd's. I have tried everything: Different write speeds, different brand of cd, different images, different cd-recorders. Nothing helps. I keep getting "CD error" messages and most of the times, the CD's won't load at all. So now I'm suspecting the RT3 itself.

Does anyone recognise this problem? Any solutions?
