Take a bit of time to do some searching here and you will find that it has been discussed MANY times that you CANNOT use a US disc in an EU RNS-E and vice-versa - UNLESS you do some trickery (making a special edited update CD and changing the value in an adaptation channel).

You will have to go through this process to use your US RNS-E in Germany, and again in reverse when you bring your car back to the US.

Your dealer in Germany will tell you that you have to buy a complete new RNS-E - he's not correct.
