People are asking me what I want for xmas and I figure a printed version of the RNS-E manual might be useful. I've got the PDF of course, but it's not quite as handy. Do I just buy it from a dealer or will that be miles more expensive than it needs to be? Is there somewhere else people order them from? Vagparts.com only seem to have the RNS-D manual. I'm in the UK, incidentally. Thanks.

The online order side seems to be down but your dealer should be able to order one for you for less than $15. Make sure that he orders the newest version.

The online order side only works for a US manual when it is working.

I'll lookup the part number of the UK manual that was supplied with my car in July and post it here tomorrow.

I can ship an hardcopy UK manual. It's for the EU version, but in English

You should be able to order one from your dealer. That´s what I did and they got it for me in a couple of days...

I have UK version in adobe format. Am i allowed to upload this? It is a huge file 14MB (194 pages). I have slow internet so only want to do it once.
I have a RNS-D version aswell 4.7MB.

They are only $5 here, and they are in stock. Just search for allroad, 2005 model year, English, Navigation manual:

Cheers for all the suggestions guys. In the end I spoke to a dealer who has ordered me one, a mere £7.50+VAT. Not the £30 or so I wouldn't have been surprised to find them charging!

Which dealer was that, Andy? Might get in touch with them myself at that price.

Good Day

I have recently purchased my car from germany. All the manuals that I received where in geman and I cannot use them. I would appreciate if you could advise me how I can find the owner's manual for the Audi Navigation system plus (RNS-E) in english. Please note that I found one manual but it is not exactly the RNS-E that is currently installed in my car. The system that is installed on my car has also the CD/TV functionality. If I go to Audi dealers I will have to wait for quite long (they requested like this for the car manual)

I would appreciate if you could advise me.

Thank you for the link however the Navi system that is shown is not exactly the same with the one I have in my car. I hope that the functionality will be the same.
I would appreciate if you could advise me also for the car's manual in case you have any idea.

Thanks again.

What is the part number of the unit you have in your car?

That link is to a November 2004 printing of the RNS-E manual - which is VERY old and out of date.

Have you got a newer one?

 

[k_petro]

I think I have a newer version however I cannot find the part number you asked me. Actually where can I find the part number?

 

[jisumfish]

How about this one http://www.vwcruise.com/resources/RNS-E+Manual.pdf

 

[PetrolDave]

Have you got a newer one?

As a physical manual, but not as a pdf.

There is a 2007 manual for the pre-2010 RNS-E and a May 2009 manual for the 2010 RNS-E.

The part number (and date) is on the back page of the manual.

Good Day

I checked the manual and in the last page I can see the following numbers:

Deutsch 5.08
291.562 729.00

I am not quite sure if these are the numbers you have asked me.

The manual is still not the same with the equipment I have. In any case I will continue trying although I beleive that I will not find the exact manual.

Deutsch 5.08
291.562 729.00

That sounds like the most recent version we know of for the pre-2010 RNS-E.

The manual is still not the same with the equipment I have. In any case I will continue trying although I beleive that I will not find the exact manual.

The manual is not reprinted when a SW update is done and is only selectively updated, so it usually doesn't reflect how the system works - but it's close!
