Just installed this bit of kit, very happy with the end result but found the install a bit of a headache gleaming most of my info of the net as the supplied manual is a joke!!
Had to use the supplied remote and magic eye initially to go through the set-up as I could do nothing from the RNSE controls, once set -up I was able to disconnect the remote and full control was enabled via RNSE!!
At one point I was ready to disconnect and stick the lot on ebay!!
Thanks to Petrol Dave as most of the info was from his posts on other forums :beerchug:
Got the iphone cable running under the centre console at the moment then up drivers side into the cubby where i normally keep my hand set!
Might change this in the future if I see a few other options/ ideas.
Had a TV Tuner as standard but being analogue it was redundant so decided on this with the Kufatec adaptor which takes the place of the tuner!
Only problem at the moment is in the DIS which jumps continually between displaying 'Pod' to 'Channel'!
Possibly needs a code change with VCDS, will do a scan later but any input would be gratefully recieved!
Apologies for the quality of the pics!
And Ellie Goulding for turning away as I took the shot!

I've got one of these sitting waiting for me to get round to fitting. Also need to get an interface/adapter too.

Bit crap you can't get/use a lightening adapter but ill use an old iPad in the glovebox

I had one of these in my S4.

Had it fitted by Hazzy Dayz, sitting in the cupboard under my stairs now. Was a good bt of kit though.
