Repair of the radio, navigation and amplifier in the Škoda Rapid (NH) includes, among other things, the factory RNS 315 radio-navigation unit made by TechniSat. Its faults are divided into software and hardware faults.
RNS 315 in the Rapid: software faults
Some problems with this unit are down to the software. They may be indicated by symptoms such as:
- the message “Please insert software CD” on the screen,
- the “Software Update” screen immediately after switch-on,
- freezing or resetting,
- no response to the power button or the NAVI button,
- no device code.
When the message “Please insert software CD” appears, the hardware version and software version of the unit do not affect the repair.
Hardware faults of this navigation system
The second group is damage to the hardware itself: a non-working touchscreen, a smashed display, a torn-off FM or GPS antenna socket, worn or damaged front panel buttons, as well as CDs or SD memory cards not being read. We deal with both groups of faults.
Submitting and checking the module
In your enquiry, state the year of the Rapid, describe the fault and attach a photo of the front of the unit and the sticker with the part number. If the screen shows a message, photograph it. On that basis we will prepare an initial quote. Only the removed unit is sent to the workshop; after checking it we confirm the cost, and we start the work after your approval. We finish the repair with a device test. We also accept other factory audio units from this model — the radio and amplifier — but not Android replacements.
