Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
Did you enjoy smelling bacon again yesterday?
Finally managed to make a proper modified master of the Eastern Europe disc with just the Speed Trap POIs integrated. Bam's copy is made up so I will do yours this weekend. I am testing each disc in my E so I know they work.
If you get read/medium errors then it means that your laser is either getting tired or you can try cleaning it. I have a couple of different lens cleaners for this.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
yeah, hows the other eye Mr Amar?!..
i like the rnse Nick, and i would invest in the 2010 model, but the only bug bear i have is the lack of album artwork on the screen during ipod playback.
i've spent hours and hours browsing the net, but not found a decent solution apart from aftermarket units.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
I don't do Apple anything and all I want is good music and lots of it so no album artwork isn't an issue for me. The Nav system was just as important to me too as I hated having to plug in a DumDum when off to somewhere new and I genuinely wasn't expecting the E nav to be nearly as good as it is.

More or less, yes. Overall menu layout is the same I think but it has all been prettied up too in order to take advantage of the enhanced screen/graphics processing. I can't comment on if things like the nav system are any better at all or exactly the same as I never got to use the 1st gen -E I bought. I am simply not knowledgeable on this subject I am afraid.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
Apologies if you already posted this info, but I couldn't find it looking back:
1. What is the part number of your RNS-E?
2. Is it the LCD or the LED version?
Tak.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
No idea about the part number and sick as a dog today so I don't think I will be going head unit extracting but I will let you know. 99% sure it is the LED version.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
I've been offered a 2012 RNS-E with faceplate for RS6 for about £700. Does that sound about right? I see that on ebay you can get the 2012 RNS-E for about £400. Ums and ahs.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
Shop, if you can get an A6 faceplate cheap then buy the £400 A3 one, if you're not fussed about having the pre 2010 model you can have my old one with an A3 faceplate for £250.

Sorry missed the other posts, the smell is horrid, Footers.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
You won't regret RNS E, Shop. There is no need to go aftermarket when the RNS E is still used in Audis of today. I'm glad Footers is backing me on this now.

Re: RNS-E, have I bought the right version?
Knowing how much of a step up the latest one is now Amar, I wouldn't have gone for the 1st gen either, I just so happen to have both currently. It is quite an ask for an existing E user to jump to the latest gen one though.
Shopp, 8P0 035 193 G RNS-E Made 07/02/2012. No doubt you will be fine doing this yourself, but for those of us without the time/inclination and want a custom fitted job with bespoke cabling etc, NHN is your man imo. Doesn't count for you anyway since you aren't even in this country.
