I think there may be a problem with timing where you connect the iPad before the system is fully up and get an IP from the MMI DHCP. I've seen that too in a few instances, but the original configuration with router @ 192.168.1.254 was quite stable so there is no reason this shouldn't. If the DNS is slow then either it's your access, or there is still a routing issue in it. Hard to tell, but changing to 192.168.2.1 will not help since ultimately you have to get to a proper DNS. You may want to try other public DNSs, though, like the ones from your mobile network provider, see it it gets better... At the top of this thread there is a script to change the telnet password on the MMI (no ssh, only telnet). You can also use one of the scripts used to create the resolv.conf file and just replace the command with one to copy the files to the SD card. If you know your way around the command line it's fairly easy...

192.168.1.x IP comes from the MMI DHCP, yes. So it's hard to understand why DNS is missing... unless that part of the configuration was corrupted? Can you retrieve the /etc/dhcp/nws.cfg file from the MMI to compare?

You'll have to try again. Maybe reset the WiFi setting on iPad... normally it should get 192.168.2.x IP from router (at least my laptop does). Even so, it should also get a proper DNS from the MMI dhcp and work in both cases. What happens when you connect iPad to MMI with router power off? Does it get DNS or not? If it does, does it have Internet access once router is up and connected to MMI again?

If you see other issues you can plug laptop in router ethernet port and check Wi-Fi and dhcp status which will tell you if router/mmi connection is OK. IPAD connected to hotspot should work (at least it works with original condiguration). But maybe the change to 192.168.2.0/24 has an impact on Firewall configuration? Need to check again. Can you check the IP assigned to iPad ?

If you don't get the "yellow man" then yes, streetview won't work no matter what. :( Must work like installFairMode and uninstallFairMode, executing a script. I actually don't know for sure what they do It does not seem to work every time. Not sure why. Have you rebooted the MMI? Also, have you checked that the router does connect properly to the MMI WiFi hotspot? If it does not you'll never get default GW and DNS asigned!

Miazza, you got it right. Let us know if it works for you..

I'll have a look later I looked at that screen this morning and mine was the same (except TraceScope is 22/50 instead of 22/51), but StreetView is only possible while not moving. Going down to the 30m level and then some more...

Everything fits together. Do not expect to see anything working as long as you are not done with the set up. The router is your access to the Internet, Google Earth cannot retrieve the data without it...

Tried again this morning, first restoring pf.conf and nws.cfg from patch and this time it allocates IP properly. Probably user error on my part... Now to check that this is stable and to get MyAudi working You wouldn't know how to enable the data connection menu under Telephone/Settings by any chance? This is disabled on SIMless units and I cannot disable the connection confirm dialog at each startup... :(

That's weird, last I tried this evening, my MMI did not get the 192.168.2.x IP assigned, nor the default gateway... so no access at all through router :( I thought it might be a firewall issue, but I'll have to try again

Thanks for these, very Interesting! Could you share /etc/dhcp/pf.conf and /etc/dhcp/nws.cfg?

If it were an Audi MMI, I'd say no MMI IP by DHCP is your problem.Our mod relies on the router assigning an additional (alias) IP to the MMI on top of 192.168.1.1, along with DNS and GW assignments. In that case, you end up with (for example) 192.168.1.22 MMI IP, DNS 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 and default GW 192.168.1.254. The most likely culprit then would be that there is no WiFi link between router and MMI. But this is a VW Touareg, and you have an internal modem with own SIM, so that should not really apply there. And I'd say the only thing the diag tells us is that despite a correct DNS setting, no Internet access is possible directly from the MMI because there is no gateway defined. You said that Internet access through the internal modem is available from a laptop connected to the hotspot, but when you printed out the configuration on your PC, Internet did not work anymore. If you know of someone in a similar situation as you, i.e RNS850 with modem ,but no changes made and Internet working on a laptop, it would be interesting to see the "ipconfig /all" from that PC, as well as screenshots of the various green menu IP screens... We need to understand how routing works on that system to understand what may block Google Earth...

I had it working until July last year (car is from january 2012), so it was working, but there are reports of people with much more recent cars where Traffic Online is blocked at the server based on VIN.

Had a quick test this morning (moving the router WiFi network from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.2.1) and no joy at first. Will check some more this evening if time allows before reverting to original configuration, but this seems to be another difference between Audi MMI 3GP and VW RNS850...

Not sure what the first key is for, but the second one is for Traffic Online activation (15 + 32768), replaces the VCDS step. You should now configure the router and then run the diagnostic script. It should tell you if the Internet connection works...

Picture 8: no default gateway

You have to check the label on the router. It will tell you what HW version it is. Then you can pick the corresponding firmware.

Yes, sadly.

As I said, I believe you because I have no experience of the RNS850 in VW cars, but I am interested by the green menu screenshots. It can help understand the difference with Audi systems, and maybe even find new tricks... :) Missed that question earlier... In the Audi, there is not need to play with VCDS (or database) to enable Google Earth, everything can be done in the Green Menu. The database script is only there to enable Green Menu and Traffic Online without VCDS.

All clear now, thanks! So, for Miazza, you need to take this into account and change the router WiFi configuration accordingly. It would be interesting to find out whether that works on the MMI 3GP as well (192.168.2.0/24 is used in the 3GP as well)... Maybe if I have some spare time in the summer I can give it a try... It seems to depend on the router used. When hsd92 made the scripts and the documentation, he did not need this on his router, but on mine I had to check the box. I guess the doc will need to be upgraded at some point. No, 3GP is 3GPlus aka 3G+. ;)

Petit retour sur les essais que j'ai pu faire avec le FW 900 et notre modification... Ma conclusion est que la modification est compatible avec le FW 900, il n'y a rien qui en entrave le fonctionnement. Par contre, le passage au FW 900 alors que la modification est active remplace (je pense) un ou plusieurs des fichiers modifiés précédemment, en particulier le fichier de configuration du firewall. Pour ceux qui ont déjà appliqué cette modification, je conseille de la désinstaller avant passage en FW 900 et de la réinstaller ensuite. Pour les autres, il faudra construire un script qui recopie les fichiers écrasés par la mise à jour (/etc/dhcp/pf.conf, et peut être /etc/dhcp/nws.cfg). Donc c'est une bonne nouvelle! [;)] Par contre il m'est arrivé quelque chose de curieux... Juste avant de passer au FW 900, en me balladant sur le site Audi, dans mon compte My Audi, pour la première fois j'ai trouvé l'option pour générer le code d'activation de MyAudi sur ma voiture. Dans la foulée, j'ai activé avec succès, et réussi à transferer des destinations créées sur google maps. Mais depuis que je suis passé en FW 900, le menu My Audi dans les destinations en ligne n'est plus accessible dès qu'on installe le Fair Mode! J'ai réussi à le réactiver (installFairMode.sh copie un fichier qui désactive l'option, il suffisait donc de l'effacer) mais bien que l'activation avec le code fourni soit possible, le serveur ne répond pas! Si quelqu'un a des idées sur ce qui pourrait provoquer ce problème, je suis intéressé...

I believe you but still slightly confused and trying to get this right... Our configuration with router IP 192.168.1.254 and router DHCP option 3,192.168.1.254 is OK for Audi MMI 3GP without SIM. But on a Touareg RNS850, you need to set router IP 192.168.2.1 and router DHCP option 3,192.168.2.1 to make it work? or keep router IP 192.168.1.254 and change DHCP option 3,192.168.2.1? Which one is it? and do you still need installFairMode.sh or not? thanks

192.168.1.254 is the IP of the router on the WiFi interface, i.e the way to the Internet for SIMless MMI systems, and that is why it must be the default gateway on MMI 3GP systems. If you need a different one on RNS850 while still using a router over WiFi interface for Internet access then there must be something very different in the RNS system to the MMI3GP. If not, then can you explain how traffic directed to 192.168.2.1 gets routed to the Internet? So it should be possible to extract differences and insert them in the DataPST.db you provided, right?

ça a l'air d'être du mysql (ouvert à l'instant avec le plugin SQLite manager pour Firefox, donc j'imagine que n'importe quel outil de comparaison mysql conviendrait (voir avec ton moteur de recherche préféré)... ;)

Miazza, just like windstar said, in your case if the RNS850 really works just like the MMI 3GP then the scripts should just work. But be careful when you configure the router, as there is an error in the english part, at page 34, for the DHCP server configuration, the extra default GW parameter should be 3,192.168.1.254 instead of 3,192.168.1.254 (the french version is correct). Also, as to the router firmware, ROOter has gone a loooong way since last year and MW 3.10 or 3.18 is no longer the recommended version, especially for a moving vehicle as the latest version (Golden Orb, or GO) has much improved disconnection detection and reconnection procedure, modem support et many other things... Find it here Configuration will be much the same, but the default interface layout has been changed. You can change it to the older interface in the systems menu.
