Since you're prepared to bail on the RS for the S5 secretarymobile, I'm prepared to offer you $800 for the kenwood unit. PM me. Hardy har har. :-)
Sribe,
I am prepared to counter your $800 offer with an $1800 offer for just the Head Unit. Now if you want the Install kit, Ipod connector and the wiring harness, which I think you will need then add $300 more. Even when I sell the car this unit comes separate, as I have the OE Symphony unit I can install.
But.....do you have SD slots???

Nice installation. Is there an iPod/iPhone adaptor? Does this head unit require other changes to work in the rs6 (Speakers, Amps, etc?)
What is the button above your radio between the ESP and hazard buttons? It appears to have a green light???

Yes it has one SD slot, but I don't know if it is exclusively for upgrading the Garmin Nav or if it is dual purposed.
Yes the Unit has an Ipod/ Iphone cable that runs from behind the unit into the glove box. I did not have to buy any other adaptors to make it work with the factory speakers. The Parrot Bluetooth is simple just pair the phone to the unit and it downloads your contact info and you are done. I am awarding you the chicken dinner for your attention to detail for noticing the toggle that is used to activate the K-40 integrated radar detector. I bought the car with it. It has saved me from many tickets, it even saved me from having my radar confiscated here in VA where radars are banned.
Where did you get the bezel to mount this?
Nice install Gen Xer. For the past 2 weeks being trying to decide which head unit I want to install. I have narrowed it down to 3 units, Your unit(Kenwood DNX9960), Alpine INA-W900 and the Pioneer Avic-Z120BT. Its a tough decision, but I am leaning toward the Kenwood. I would like to use the on board GPS antenna. But I believe the antenna cable terminates in the trunk were the factory navigation unit would be located. How was yours connected? Did you use the antenna that came with the unit or somehow connect it to the factory GPS antenna? I had the DNX8120 in my 2.7T and the antenna was placed under the dash directly above the instrument cluster. This setup performed very well. But I would still prefer to use the factor antenna if possible. Any way good luck with the unit.....

When I installed my RNS-E, I tapped into the fin antenna via the OnStar module which is located under the front passenger footwell. I don't re-call the part number of the lead needed, but I found it easily at a local VW dealer. Do a search for installs on audiforum.us/rns-e/ - meantime, if i find the link, I'll edit here

Found this on audiform - this is what I did http://audiforum.us/cables-adapters-...rns-e-gps.html fyi, you buy a, say, 6 foot fakra / fakra extension, attach it to the lead from the sharkfin GPS antenna which you will find at the OnStar module under the front pass footwell (you will have to remove the glovebox, and part of the doorsill, and pull up the carpeting to get to the OnStar unit). Remove the OnStar unit as it is dead weight anyway. Run the Fakra/Fakra lead to your RNS-E unit. Voila. Mine works perfectly. I don't recall if the Fakra/Fakra extension is male/female or female/female or male/male - you'll have to figure that out when you check the antenna lead going into the OnStar module. Good luck.

Hahnmgh63 I had installed a Kenwood DNX8120 In my 2.7T. The I-Pod control and the Bluetooth worked flawlessly. Seconds after the unit booted up it would latch onto my I-Phone and I was ready to go. Incoming or Outgoing calls would mute the entire sound system, after which when the call was complete would return to where it left off. You could select either left,right or both of the Front speakers for Telephone and Navigation Audio. I ran the Microphone up the Left front A-Pillar to the left of the Sun visor. I had no microphone in my over head panel.
dWiGhT I used the SCOSCHE AU2380B Double Din Mounting Kit, easily found on Ebay for relatively cheap. I have to look for some pictures of my install, can't seem to find them right now.

Elevens,
I am currently in the process of installing my Escort 9500ci radar-laser system. It came with a GPS pod as well, because it is location aware of traffic camera lights, etc...pretty nice feature. Anyway, i mounted the pod INSIDE the stock antenna fin. Pretty easy to get to. The rear dome/map light pops out pretty easy, and inside you will see the nut that the holds the fin on. Once you take the fin off after clipping the stock wires, you need to drill out the hole the wires are routed up into the antenna. But first, take apart the antenna and gut it out. otherwise, there is no room. Pretty crazy design in there...So anyway, i now have the GPS pod for my Escort system mounted in the stock antenna fin. Routing the wire is another story however. I am running mine down the b-pillar and forward along the driver door.

I was going to get the Kenwood, then asked about the Alpine and they said the graphics were better on the Kenwood but the Alpine sound quality was higher, I like my music so went with the Alpine. Also got a really good price including the Nav. However the Graphic sare slightly dated compared to the Kenwood but Im still a happy man.

Elevens, just as LIRS6 pointed out you can use the GPS antenna going to the Onstar system since the analog Onstar system is now dead. I was able to pull the carpet back and unthread enough of the cable to get it to stretch up and hook into my RNS-E without having to use and extension. For it to work with the RNS-E it just plugs in, the same type of connection, for a Kenwood or Alpine unit I have no idea. The GPS plug for our cars is known as a Fakra lead. Many of the conversion parts can be found here. http://kufatec.com/
