Hi guys
I have spent the last 3 hours lurking on the boards, sifting through tonnes of information. I just wish I could understand it!
My dilemma is this:
I have just bought a 2006 B7 RS4 with no SatNav (must be the only one in the northern hemisphere without RNS-E). In its place is a "Concert" radio. The car also comes with factory fitted mobile phone installation/holder, 6 CD changer, BOSE speakers and metallic multi-functional steering wheel. Through the postings I have learned that I would need to retro-fit the RNS-E DVD based Navigation system ( 8E0 035 192). I have also leanerd that by looking at the Audi part numbers there is a letter at the end of the part number that denotes the release number. I have seen reference to C, D and more recently K and even X. I presume that it is optimal to have the latest version? Am I also right in thinking that older Concert models were "single DIN" but my new RS4's Concert radio is a "double DIN"? This would mean that I do not have to replace the fascia and the RNS-E system will just slot in where the Concert would have been. Would I also not have to remove the air conditioning unit and heated seats control panel? However, it will be necessary to buy and fit a GPS antenna (not sure where though!) and to change some wires around (e.g BOSE and k-line IIRC).
I would be extremely grateful if someone could validate/contradict the statements above so I may be able to start sourcing the parts needed for this little venture!
Many thanks in advance
