Post by davers6 » Sat May 23, 2015 8:48 pm

Just fitted a rnse led all working straight away apart from no dis in dash I presume it's a coding issue anyone else had this?

If you didn't have an RNS-E before then you need to change the value in adaptation channel 62 of the instruments at address 17 see http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.ph ... 8ED/8HE%29

Basically add 4 to enable the display of nav instructions in the DIS. It might take up to 24 hours to work as the CANbus messages have a sequence number and the change won't take effect until that cycles round.

Also worth checking the RNS-E coding and fault codes, see http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.ph ... 28RNS-E%29

Does the RNS-E turn on/off with ignition? If not then that indicates an RNS-E coding and/or CANbus problem; if yes then try waiting 24 hours.

Since the 2010+ RNS-E was never made in a version for the A4 or A6 (only A3, TT and R8) the coding will be wrong unless the seller coded it correctly for you or it had already been used in an A4.

All 2010+ A4 RNS-E are actually an A3 or TT version that has had the faceplate changed.

No doesn't switch on and off with ign it is an a3 unit
Is it easiest to get the coding off my old unit and change the new one to the
Same?
Thanks

That's the problem then.

That would mean swapping them over in the car again - personally I would work out the coding using the Ross Tech wiki page http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.ph ... 28RNS-E%29 as it's really easy.

First digit = 0
Second digit = 3 as it's an A4/S4/RS4
Third digit = 0 unless you have a cabrio when it's 1
Fourth digit = 9 if you have Bose, 3 if you have an A4 cabrio, otherwise 1
Fifth digit = 7 if you have a phone interface (unless you live in the US when it's 6), otherwise 1
Sixth digit = 1 if you don't have AMI, satellite radio or Aux In; add 1, 2 or 4 respectively if you have those (you can't have AMI and Aux In as they use the same audio input)
Seventh digit = 1 if you don't have TV tuner, CD changer or MFSW; add 1, 2 or 4 respectively if you have those.

My coding = 0309721 for my ex-A3 2010+ RNS-E as I have a B7 RS4 with phone interface and AMI

I'm having some issues trying to do the same as Dave. I've done the adaption on the instruments, so leaving that overnight to see if the DIS works tomorrow.

I can't seem to change the coding on the radio though, it connects to it fine, and brings the box up to recode. You enter the new coding, hit ok and the box dissapears as if it worked, but it hasn't actually done anything?! Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

What value are you trying to recode it to?
