If anyone can use this setup. I just pulled it out of the car in working order. It may be an upgrade for those that didnt have nav or an A6/Allroad owner. I just finished the removal by installing the pop up cup holder in the console this weekend.

DVD trunk mounted nav unit.
Multifunction console switch.
Bracket to mount the switch in the console.

You will need to use a Vagcom to configure your dash to communicate with the nav and check to make sure your ant is there.

150 with all the CDs I have.

Christmas special. :rs6kiss:

I believe that is the RNS-C, as in "CD", pretty the sure the RNS-D's were Europe only and the predecessor to the RNS-E since it had a screen, but smaller and less user-friendly controls.

dave, i could be convinced to buy it... this is the touch screen navi system? how hard is it to install? i'm theorizing i'll just have someone install it for me unless it's pretty easy.

No touch screen. Even the RNSe is not touch screen. Its the stock turn by turn directions in the dash cluster.

I installed the newer RNSe in my car a few weeks ago. This is what I took out.

Here is the link to what I installed.

Copies of all US discs. I think. Need to check again as I have only used the SW disc.

My disc must be either old or for a different locale as I can't find my own house with the RSN-C. Maybe your discs would do the trick especially at your price. How the heck do I eject the disc or figure out version or locale or... I obviously don't know this system yet!

Sounds like you've got the wrong disc inserted. There are 10 CD's total and if you're not on the right one, it's lost. Or, you may live in a new subdivision that's not mapped on your version. Most likely the former.

For the cost of the updated set, you can buy a Garmin or iPhone that are easier to use, faster, and constantly updated.


And FYI, the RNS-D:

Don,

The discs go in the unit thats mounted in the trunk. LR quarter panel. Hit eject button and out it comes.

Did you have to take the console apart for the install?

I did take the console apart.

However, if you have the nav controls you have the bracket already. If your careful not to scratch...you can lift up on the nav button at the same time pry the gap and the nav unit will pop out. Then just slide the cup holder in.

If you have the dummy tray then you must take the console apart and install the bracket.

The console R&R is alittle pesky job but knowing where the clips are and how they come apart helps the second time.

Take time removing the ebrake cover as a little plastic retainer can get stuck.

Anyone thinking of taking that unit or that still has the RNS-C unit, I now have all of the console control buttons if anyone needs a spare set. They're in very good condition. Yours for the asking.

Also, does anyone know what else can go in there? I really don't need another crappy Audi cupholder, was hoping for maybe a deep pocket so I can throw my iPhone and radar detector remote in there.

DHall1 or others. I'd like to purchase someone's Midwest (Wisconsin area) CD. I'd gladly trade or sell the only one I got with my SoCal car - California, Hawaii, & Nevada (2003). NavTec sell the single disk for $129, the entire set for $249. I have a portable GPS I use when I have a trip planned. I thought the factory one would be nice when I get into trouble and need some quick "find home" instructions.

eBay


All kinds of used nav cd's on there.

Yes, there are a bunch of Navi discs on eBay, but none that list the correct part or catalog numbers. It's the usual crap shoot.
