RNS-E 2010 (Media with LED) Problems in RS4 B5

Hello,

i fit a rns-e with led screen from an a3 to my old rs4 b5 with a kufatec adapter.

I put the 2 can cables to my grey connector on the speedometer as there were no cables (had an old concert radio).

I have the navigation info in the fis and it works.

There are only 2 thins that dont work -

- Rnse doenst go off when ignition is off and not on when i turn off the ignition.
- The radio titles are not displayed in the fis. The place were those were displayed is black. (Speedo coded to 5)

I cannot code the rns-e to a6. It doenst accepct the coding. What i can code is a3 or a4.

Does anybody have an idea on how i can change it.

I couldnt test the navigation as the car is in winter sleep, but i think it should work (In the garage the car has 1 satelite)

To work in a B5 you need to be able to code the RNS-E for an A6.

However, as has been already posted here the 2010+ RNS-E cannot be coded for an A6.

So a 2010+ RNS-E is not suitable for your B5 - sorry.

If you use a cangate module then it is possible, I put a 2010 RNS-E coded for A4 into an A2 and used a cangate module from Bjarne to generate GALA from the speed signals on the infotainment CAN bus.

My nav works perfectly except for speed limit displays.

I never had pin problems with or without cangate.

Two things that need to be done are, coding of the RNS-E to A4 and coding of the cluster to use CAN bus

That should sync the time up and the cangate will fix the time issue with the RNS-E/cluster that the B5 has and possibly the GALA/speed signal issue.

Ok, then the other two things that fixed the PIN code issues were to reset the RNS-E by holding RADIO & SETUP for 10 seconds and also driving around for about an hour with the radio on and entering the PIN code.

I tried resetting, but then i have the same issue.

Driving i couldnt test as the rs4 is in winter sleep (lot of snow and only summer tires)

So you mean i should turn on the rns-e drive an hour without entering pin code or start the rns-e enter the pin code and drive for an hour?

I came into the engineering mode and there is no vin present.

They were fixes for the pre 2010 RNS-E, I cannot say for sure if they work on the 2010 RNS-E.

But they should, the RNS-E accepts the VIN on both year models and the B5 has always had this issue of the PIN/time sync, but the cangate has been used to fix it.

Because several of us have tried to code it for A6

And since craigyb has more experience than anyone else I know that's good enough for me.

Don’t want to sound here like smart a$$ (especially that you are "super" here),
but I think that it is fundamentally wrong (read rude) that you assume that I don’t have such experience and only because others were not able to do it over years, it is not possible.
Again, nothing personal. I just don’t brag about it, that is all.
What do you want as a proof ?

You have yet to prove that you have as much, or more, experience than members such as craigyb. And all those members have attempted many times to code a 2010+ RNS-E for an A6 and never been able too.


What do you want as proof?
The same as used in all scientific tests, it to be verifed as correct by someone else.

Ok, let's do that....label your sample unit, (label it well so you know you are getting the same one back), send it to me with requested coding and I will send it back to you, the very next day. Coded of course.
No, you just share here how you did it so that someone else can verify the method is good.

This forum is about sharing knowledge so that other Audi owners can do what you have done and not about you being the only person that can do something.
