Has anyone 'upgraded' to the 2010+ RNSe?

Cheers Dave ....I think I may ditch the TV idea but will enquire when I speak to Craig

Im in the south so Im guessing we could meet half way

I met him in a underground car park at bluewater [about 45miles from me]. I left the car with him and went and got a coffee - a wander round the shops and an hour later he was done!
He quiet often comes south so BW might be a good bet for you if you are Junc9 M25 ..

Ah excellent. Now that would be a much belter option as im about the same distance to BW as you. Mailed him today and got a price to supply & fir the RNS-E and AMI. Was considering going up to him but will speak to him tomorrow and hopefully schedule a day when he is down south

Thanks for the heads up bud much appriciated

the speed limit warning function was very handy!

The speed limit warning doesn't work when you fit a 2010+ RNS-E into a B7 - the messages it needs are not present on the Infotainment CAN bus.

Hi All

Resurrecting this old thread to hopefully find someone who can answer this specific question. I have PMd petroldave, but not sure if he is still on the forums.

Ive just picked up my rs4 and the previous owner has fitted a 2010 RNS+. however, I need to change speed limit 2 and it definitely isnt working.... figure the above post is the problem, but how do I fix it? do i need vagcom?

thanks all


p.s first 2 days of ownership has been awesome! wow, what a car!

I've replied to the PM - S4WON has confused the RNS-E speed limit warning on the 2010+ RNS-E with the DIS speed warnings - they're totally unrelated (and both DIS speed warnings still work with a 2010+ RNS-E).

For those having problems changing or clearing DIS speed warning 2 see http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/vw-techn ... g-off.html

actually....

its definitely not that issue, it is different.

if anyone fancies trying it..

1. turn off ignition
2. press check once to illumniate dash
3. press and hold check until speed limit 2 or your set speed comes up
4. use the + or - buttons on your fbsw to change limit by 10mph increments


step 4 just doesnt work for me
its also in the manual about page 32

if someone could try, I will kiss them, if you are into 40 yro men kissing you that is.

final bump in the hope some kind soul will try this out (above) and put me out of my misery!

[armyair]

Would help if I could my friend but my RNSE 2010+ is fitted in a RS6 and my speed control on the DIS works fine for me. I find it an annoyance more than anything alongside the TPM.

I will have a look tonight fella - I have a 2010+ RNS-E [and AMI]

[JoeyManhattan]

Hate to bring this one back from the dead but I am tossing up the idea of either:
Swapping the 2010 RNS-E with AMI into my 2008 RS4 which already has the old RNS-E and the old iPod interface.
OR
Installing the Dension interface on my current setup.

I've heard that the CAN wires need to be run in order for the new AMI to function properly, not sure if this is so.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[PetrolDave]

I've heard that the CAN wires need to be run in order for the new AMI to function properly, not sure if this is so.

All the wires needed by the AMI are already at the RNS-E, and from some eBay sellers (and other places) you can by a ready made cable.

Go for the 2010+ RNS-E plus AMI.

[Surrey Sam]

Yup, just waiting for an SDS variant to come up and then I shall be installing the collection of electrical stuff now sitting on my desk.

Dave - have you tried running your AMI and CD changer together? I'm a little reluctant to go fully over to MP3.

[pDkALO]

RNSe (even the later versions) surely only support one or the other via the software? AMI goes into the glove box location where the CD changer lives in any case

Thank you much, before I make an ebay purchase does anyone know of any sellers that already have swapped the faceplates over?
