    Beware RNS-E harder to find than El Chupacabra

    Can't find a C5 A6 RNS-E anywhere. All the old sources have dried up like the diaphragm in a seven-year-old diverter valve. Never any on eBay. One came up, I made sure I won it, then the seller flaked out, claimed he broke it, refunded my PayPal and cancelled the transaction.

    Anyone have a tip?

    Thanks dudes... I do know bout the .de stuff.

    1500 after currency convert
    + 200 to ship
    + 100 for a US DVD
    + I have to flash to US firmware myself
    + Will the P 'n P harness work with Bose? Oh, wait it doesn't come with a harness... or does it? What's a "harnessenschvardenhaugen?"
    + my Deutsch sucks and I don't have a chance of returning it if somethin ain't right.

    ... longing for a US seller with P 'n P harness and US DVD, all-in < $1500.

    Dreaming it's 2008 I guess.

    700 bucks. Welll, I was just talking to El Chupacabra, (no, it wasn't the Cezadores talking) and he said he would be happy to boost your 700 dollar RNS-E for me for one small goat. He even had his own VAG release tools.

    He just came back from your yard with this.

    He did say your screen had some kind of odd burn in... Game, set, and match, DHall1.

    But seriously. Looking for an RNS-E in the US.

    VAGNAVs sent me an email that they had me next on the list but raised the price to $1449 which kind of pissed me off since I felt like we already had a deal at $1200. I guess they can do this based on the limited supply and demand. I will use that money for wheels, software and other goodies for now.

    That's what they used to go for in the day. I got my second or third hand one i have now for $1200. Sold my original one (i thought i was selling car 3 years ago) and got $1500 for that one with harnesses etc. The one I have now i bought early last year i kept watching the classifieds on Quattroworld/old Audiworld like a hawk.

    Contact Haaggie from the Nav forums here, he is a great seller, outside the US but sells to US buyers. Great guy, you will not be disappointed!
