RNSE - AMI retrofit
RNSE - AMI retrofit
I’ve don’t this a few times and keep being asked how, so I put a video together.
It takes you through the parts needed, how to install, how to configure VCDS and then a functionality demo.
Hope it’s useful.

Re: RNSE - AMI retrofit
Hi John
Just watched the video and it’s great for doing a self installation.
Question & request. Would it be possible to list all the parts required and where to get them from?
The software on the laptop, can that be downloaded to any laptop and what cable would you need to connect to the car?
And last one you fancy doing this for me

Yeah, reverse camera is a different kettle of fish. I took a load of photos when I installed it so I’ll try and do a write up on it.James1984 wrote:Is it much more work to fit the rear camera?

Re: RNSE - AMI retrofit
Hi - does anyone know of a new SatNav/MMI system that can replace the RNSE but retain the drivers display, retains use of the BOSE and the integrated microphone? Not keen to lose those but keen to move the system forward.
Many thanks
Many thanks
