This form gave me the motivation to retrofit a RNS-E into a A3 2002 model. A few things i should tell you about my car before i get to the issues are that my car is a euro import, it is not a uk one, if that makes any difference.
The rns-e i bought is for an Audi A3. (I bought this before reading a lot of the posts on the forum and am not sure if i have made a mistake and that the A3 rns-e fully works on a 2002 model car)
I got the navigation cable with the unit and also the antenna. I have installed a Dietz 1280 Canbus interface.
The problems i am experiencing right now are that:
1. after 30 minutes the unit switches off
2. the buttons do not light up when the car lights are switched on
3. the rns-e does not always switch off when the key is removed from the car, if i wait a short time from switching the car off to taking the key out then it will switch off. some times it switches of when the river door is opened and the key has already been removed.
4. the rns-e does not always switch on when the car is started
5. the rns-e is unable to detect the v-signal, i am not sure if i have picked the right cable from the read of the speedometer.
6. the rns-e is unable to detect the audi tv tuner when plugged in.
However, when i switch on the navigation manually and set a destination the nav seems to work fine apart from the above issues. I have not programmed the car via VAG-COM yet as i only has version 3.09 and this will not connect to NAV system. Is this the reason i am experiencing these problems.
Your help would really be appreciated on these issues.
Thanks,
Raj.
