I have spent some time reading all the threads on this forum, but I don't recall seeing a thread that is similar to my situation.
I have been asking so many questions regarding the RSN-E for a B6 S4 on audiworld for a long time, and somebody said it can't be done, some said just be patient. Finally AUDIB6A4 (sp?) replied saying it is possible and he/she also gave us a link to this forum. I spent all night reading this forum so I can get myself up-to-date on this subject and not ask questions that people have already asked. You don't understand how excited I am since I don't have to sell my 04 S4 and get a B7 just to get the RSN-E. I have been wanting the RSN-E for a long time and waiting for the good news that it might work in a B6. I would give up fastfood if I could get this to work in my car, considering how much I love fastfood!
Anyhow, here is my situation.
It is a 04 B6 S4 without stock nav but have XM capability. I have already cancelled XM since I don't listen to it and i don't give a damn if is works with RSN-E or not. I would like to have it to be able to view DVD movies, but not a necessity. I would like to hook up a glove box CD changer, but not a necessity. What I need is to have the NAV MMI unit to work, aka maps (with voiceover for the driving directions), driving direction being able to show up at the screen on the dash and song/FM info being able to show up at the screen on the dash.
So here are my questions.
1. should I get EU or US
2. is it Plug and Play?
3. if not, what kind of plugs/adapters do I have to get (please provide some links on where where I can get them, if you dont mind)
4. if not, how much re-wiring is involved?
5. will I have to wire/route the GPS antenna to the shark fin? if so, how?
6. I read it on one of the threads that on a B6 A4/S4, that you don't have to find the speed wire. Does this mean that "speed info" is being sent to the RSN_E unit through one of the existing wires behind the Symphony II?
7. I live in Seattle. Does anybody know what shop I might be albe to get this installed at? Or if somebody knows how to DIY, would you mind giving me a couple of pointers while I am installing it myself (if I can't find a shop or it is just way to easy to DIY)?
I know they are a bunch of n00b questions. I am trying to pick up as much knowledge as possible. Please help a brother out. If my questions did not trigger the correct answers needed for this project, please tell me what else I need to know/be aware of.
Guys and girls, I truely appreciate your help.
