This seems to be a feature of some BOSE systems. There were reports that Audi had replaced some BOSE amplifiers if the background noise is to loud but they don't seem to do this anymore. I heard this noise with my Symphony II too, maybe a little bit less. But I can hear it only wihtout the engine running. While driving the other noise overlays this.
The difference might be that the RNS-E does not turn off immeditaly, it takes up to an hour after locking the car. The Symphony turned off with ignition, and with it the BOSE amplifier...

Several messages on other boards indicate that this is a feature, although some with an early Bose Audio Pilot system (2001 in EU) got the Bose amplifier (not the head unit) replaced.

This is just for testing purposes, just to check if the unit powers up, if it asks for a PIN. I think the power & CAN connections are the same, at least they look the same. Thanks...- 0

MK2 DVD Drive Swap
RNS-EHi all - After years of searching, I finally found a US MK2 RNS-e with "RFSL" pin in C2. It appears to be out of an A3 from 2009 or 2010. The unit was not good cosmetically, but I have another good condition MK2 already, and the price was right (200 USD). When the unit arrived, I discovered...- 2

DIY: convert Euro RNS-E to USA version
RNS-EI decided to write a tutorial for people who bought EU rns-e and do not know how to convert it to US version. I spent a big amount of time on AZ and on Audiforum.us trying to figure it out. It is very confusing on Audiforum and half of links are dead, so here you go, nice and easy way. When I...- 104

Bad unit?
RNS-EHi, my car came with a euro RNS-E unit installed. It was working when I test drove the car, but upon pickup the display was dead. I removed the unit and can get the fan to spin when applying 12v to the pin on the back, but no display still. I put the unit back in and noticed in the dark the...- 1
