Surely that's got to be worse than watching the TV or using a mobile phone Or was the keyboard built into the steering wheel?

Not actualy while driving!

OK, my Rapsody is here as is my Kufatec interface. On the interface wiring there are a lot of grey unmarked wires going nowhere (looks like they were red on the harness in the photos) - I didn't get any instructions at all so can you advise where the loose wires connect?

navplus.us is the forum for all the information you need...

Hmm - not sure if it is in this case. The wires on closer inspection are labelled - CAN Hi and CAN Lo are easy. "Masse Pin 12" and "zondlogik" I'm not sure about and I can't find anything yet on navplus.us to assist.

i had the RNS-E installed earlier this year along with the bluetooth, but since having it done i just don`t just the phatnoise anymore i just use the sd card slots instead, does anyone else do the same?

I thought the Phatnoise way beyond crap - it's in the garage waiting to be eBayed.

Anyway I did lots of searching and some deducing and the Masse Pin 12 is pin 12 on the D connector (ground) and zondlogik is pin 13 - switched power for accessories such as amplifiers.

Everything is in and working and I'm just about to format the HDD I just installed in the Rapsody

drop me a pm if you don't have the rns-e wiring diagram...

Thanks Dave - I had it myself but I think I binned it. It's all working now apart from the remote control for some reason (by that I mean the remote emulation using the RNS controls).

As an aside while I was testing different DVD ripping software outputs earlier with the lights on to illuminate the glove box I noticed the illumination on my RNS has started to flash brighter every few seconds - I'm sure it didn't do that before...

I had the upgrade already done on the car I bought a few months ago but the DVD function from the headunit, TV and telephone don't seem to be set up. Any suggestions for someone who can guide me through getting these elements set up, seems to be a shame having all the potential for use wasted. Also is there a newer version of the nav CD available as I have the orginal 2002 version and only 5 character postcode recognistion.

Thanks in advance

Even if you buy the 2007 DVD your still only going to get 5 ccharacter postcode recognistion, but the 2007 disk will enable TMC. Not sure what you mean by setup, but my phone number is on my web site if you what to contact me.

You don't get telephone functionality out of the box; it's via a separate Bluetooth module. Also the RNS-D TV doesn't work with the RNS-E so if the later one hasn't been installed you won''t have TV available. Lastly the units doesn't play DVDs, the DVD function is just for the map disk. It may well be that you have all the functionality installed in your car already.

Rich C (or anyone else with the Rapsody RSH110 and Kufatec interface) I can't get the remote to work - is there anything I've missed in the setup or do you just wire in the IMA and connect the socket on it to the Rapsody 3.5mm jack connection using the Kufatec adaptor cable?

Excellent write-up (as always) Rich!

I've bookmarked it for future use...

Fen,

Are you actually using a remote as the Kufatec IMA supports full RNS-E control of the Rapsody unit or is the problem you're describing that you've got picture/audio displayed on the RNS-E screen from the Rapsody unit but you are unable to control the media player via the RNS-E buttons?

It's been a while so my memory is somewhat faded but I think that during my install we connected the supplied black cable from the IMA into the external IR port (blue connector under the USB connection) on the back of the Rapsody unit. First time round I got audio but no picture and no controls. With a bit of fiddling we 'somehow' got picture but still no controls. Turned out the Rapsody RSH-300 I was using wasn't coded in the IMA - works fine now that I've got the RSH-110 installed. At time of order I did go to great extent to ensure Kufatec coded the IMA for a Rapsody unit as there wasn't an obvious option when ordering.

If you're having technical difficulties drop Leigh (TDIAvant usually found on the B7 RS4 forum) a pm as he's more than happy to provide good advice regarding RNS-E related problems plus he's tackled a few IMA's in the past.

Rich.
