first of all, im getting no antenna reception - it looks like the dude sent me the wrong adapter. What he sent me was a single wire that supposedly connects the antenna lead to the outermost antenna connector of the RNS-E unit. From everything i've seen here, thats the wrong thing.
second, apparently the damned thing isnt getting a CAN signal, even though my original symphony unit was wired for CAN high and CAN low, and my harness carries these connections to the RNS-E on connector D, pins 9 and 10. The original symphony unit harness had wires connected to CAN L and CAN H on the diagram below.
third, the VAG settings for the instrument cluster display dont seem to be working out too well for me. I went into controller 17, adaptation, and set channel 62 to 5, it was originally zero. Still no display.
I'm gonna see what i can do about getting another adapter and go from there, any ideas in the meantime? Thanks!![/img]
This looks like a Symphony I label. What car/year do you have and are the CAN-high and CAN-low pins wired in the original plugs? With VAG-COM , check STG 56 or 37, those are the RNS-E. 17 is the instrument and you can worry about that later/
I have a 2002 B5 S4. The CAN high and CAN low pins are wired in the original plugs with grey wires. I can communicate with the RNS-E unit through STG 56 and 37.
Ok, what exactly is not working that makes you think your CAN wires aren't connected correctly? Does the RNS-E turn of after a while with ignition on? Do the buttons not light up although the lights are on? Or is it just the DIS which doesn't show the navigation instructions?
The buttons dont light up when the lights are turned on and the unit doesnt turn on and off with the ignition. I read somewhere that often when the CAN wires are grey, they arent really connected and I may have to tap the CAN wires in the cluster. Looking for pictures of exactly what i need to tap now.
I had the same trouble. The Grey/red and Grey/white twisted wires on your Symphonie 1 isn't the CAN Bus the RNS-E needs. You've got 2 CAN buses in your B5.
You need to get the Display CAN from the back of your instrument cluster. On one of the 3 connecters you'll find a twisted pair of orange cables. I believe its Orange/purple for CANH and Orange/Brown for CANL. Connect those to your pin 9 and 10 on your RNS-E.
There might be the problem now that the RNS-E keeps asking you for the PIN when you switch on the light or ignition. This can usually be fixed by Factory Resetting your RNS-E.
Further, the closest frontplate fit in the B5 will be the RNS-E from the A6 as suppose to the one from the new A4. I bought one form the new A4 and it is to long at top and bottom and too short at the sides.
I have a Audi A4 b7 2.0 tdi Avant, with rns-e mmi system it tooks cds and 2 slots for sd cards behind the screen but i think this car have another cd changer for navigation it isnt present in passager safe box, does rns-e read cd navigation or it is in another place inside the car!?!
By know it is pretty certain that there will be an upgraded RNS-E for model year 2010. Since many will be interested in retrofitting the new RNS-E to get AMI and traffic (US only, Europe always had TMC) I thought a new topic would be in order the focusses on the 2010 RNS-E retrofit in the A3 8P...
Hi
I have retrofitted my 2007 A3 3.2 with an RNS-E. It previously had a a Symphony II radio. The unit works flawlessly but after a few days my battery is dead.
When I close the car and lock the door the RNS-E fan and DVD keep running for little while. At that time I measure a voltage drop of...
There are plenty or threads and no need to repeat the procedure.
There are only 3 numbers to be modified, including SOFIDX, the first V220 in LOADING.KWI and the second V220 in LOADING.KWI.
The main issue is when I made the transfer CD, it was read as only software update CD and thats it, no...
