When I originally spoke with a few guys on the Audiworld board about the installation of the A6 US RNS-E version, I was of the impression it was a relatively easy "plug and play" installation with the availability of the Kufatec adaptor.
I then read AudiA4B6US's response to audirs6sport, and in particular referencing the installation procedures posted on this site by Justin http://www.navplus.us/forum/viewtopic.php?p=208&highlight=#208, it seems to have gotten quite a bit more complicated. So, my questions are:
1. Can anyone tell me if the directions/instructions are in fact similar to what I would have to go through for my RS6?
2. Why would I need to install yet another Nav antenna when I already have the shark fin? Is it a different plug? I'm wondering if Kufatec doesn't make an adaptor for that as well.
3. I know I lose the in-dash CD player but I'm assuming I'll still have the Satellite radio feature??
4. I couldn't find it yet on this site so does anyone know the part numbers for the Euro tire pressure monitor adaptation to the system? I'm having my new rims and tires put on soon and it would be good timing to have the hardware installed on the rims at that time.
I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to these things so what was once a relatively simple plug and play now sounds a little more complicated. Assuming it is still a simple swap, I might consider doing it. My local dealer on the other hand has told me they would consider the installation for me and no, it wouldn't void any of Audi's warranty even though it's technically not a part made specifically for the RS6. I'll just buy the parts and they'll charge me labor.
TIA for anyone's positive input!!
