does the rns-e fit straight into car replacing the rns-d?
cheers

RE: rns-e question
yes, with the right connector, some simple wiring needs to be completed though...do a search
RE: rns-e question
Physically it does, but there's some wiring to do and also some VAGCOM coding.

Don't you need a new aerial, too? And a different tuner?

RE: rns-e question
I used the same GPS aerial successfully for around 18 months, but then it did fail and I had to replace it. I don't think that was the RNS-E's fault. And yes, I supposed to retain TV functionality you need a new tuner but I used TV so rarely that I didn't bother. But in any case, aren't most people's TV tuners barely picking up any channels these days anyway - because of the analogue switch off?

can you not get digital tv for them?

RE: rns-e question
Isn't it true that an RNS-E from an A4 isn't a straight fit into an A6 for example? I almost bought one before having doubts about if it would fit or not.
