Is it possible to code the MFSW of a 2003 A6 to use the R/T button on the left side as the "mode" button. The RNS-E manual instructs you to press the "Mode " button in order to save names in the phone book. I do have Bluetooth, MFSW and RNS-E working fine, but without the "mode" button I can't tag names to my cell phone's transferred list of contacts..
The correct coding when you have the 6-button steering wheel is actually 0010877. This will allow you to use your steering wheel to voice tag contacts.
I will look at the CAN Bus wiring. Do you know if it's possible this fault (that only shows on the MFSW scan) could to be coming from any other device on the bus or only from the MFSW controller?
I found the culprit. And answered my own question. The fault code on the MFSW, was caused by another device on the CAN Bus and not related to MFSW or it's controller.
I disconnected the PCCM multimedia adapter and all is back to normal. No more fault code on the MWSF or RNS-E. I will review the connections on the PCCM harness, but I'm leaning towards incompatability with this unit.
It is a Polish product (I believe). Information (In Polish) can be found here: Martos - Akcesoria.
Some people have used it successfully. I will give it another try once I veryfy all connections. It looks like a decent unit. It did work while hooked up, but cause the fault codes I mentioned earlier.
Firstly, Thank you all for all your help, in particular NSX JR on the Onstar to Blue Tooth conversion.
The PCCM multimedia device emulates a TV tuner. The RNS-E needs to be coded to expect one. This corrected a fault that I had with the RNS-E complaining that it wasn't properly coded.
The fault at the MFSW controller for single-wire operation still pops up occasionally but appears to have no impact what-so-ever on the overall functionality (which is awesome, by the way).
The PCCM unit performs the function that I was after. Which was to allow me to use my Ipod Touch for video playing through the Nav system. It does that extremely well. I have quite a few movies and musical videos on the Ipod and when connected to the unit it makes for great entertainment. If you're parked by a WIFI spot (like on my driveway) it will play Youtube "stuff" that your Ipod picks up. Nothing special here but real cool though.
I'm also very impressed with the functionality provided by the Blue Tooth component. It's just amazing. Have I mentioned that this navigation system is awesome? ;-)
Never mind about the quite responsive 4.2L 5 valve/cylinder all aluminum engine? Never mind about the aluminum fenders, hood, wide body, sport suspension, HID's and so on. It's the navigation system that keeps me smiling. It has been the best 2k I've ever invested on any car.
Next the rear camera
