Well after cutting the bottom portion of a 4B0 faceplate to fit my B5 S4 I was left with a long narrow piece. I was going to use it as a test platform to color match the unit to my interior with paints/dyes but noticed it might work on the side gaps :idea: . After some dremeling, here is the result. I took the pic before I cleaned off all my fingerprints
Thanks.....I still have to trim the top of the left one a bit, it's a tad long. The only thing left will be the color matching, which will be tough I think :?:
Yea, thanks though. I tried it twice actually. I think the stuff keeps rubbing off....maybe because my grubby hands are all over it. You can see from the photo the side pieces (which weren't Kiwi'd) are close to the units color which were Kiwi'd twice. I even let it dry for about 20 minutes each time. :?:
Looks great. I'm curious about the color difference between the Nav & HVAC controls? It looks pretty different in pictures, however I'm curious how it looks in daylight? Is it noticable?

The picture was taken at close range with a flash at night so the color difference is exaggerated. The flash is shining more on the NAV than the HVAC panel so it is "lightened" even more. It's not as noticeable in the day, and at night you really can't tell. I'd still like to darken it a bit more.

Yea the gaps were definately turning me off...the slight color difference isn't that big of a deal but it may bug me...I'll have to see it in person...like you said the pictures tend to exaggerate these things.
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the 192 version RNS-E motherboard? Like many others I have been having display issues and have spent a while investigating the internals and changing ribbon cables and displays (I have a spare RNS-E for parts). However, I have come to the conclusion that...
I'm getting a newer 193 RNSE unit for my A3, I'm in the States, but I'm driving my A1; I left the A3 in Mexico.
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...
Hi 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...
I 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...
Hi, 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...
