Dear all,

I finally took the plunge and bought a RNS-E sat nav for the car. Have just finished fitting it, found it very easy, placed the GPS receiver above the glove box, car is parked between 2 houses and i was receiving 5 satellites. Anyway, to the problem, i'm sure that i have pluged all of the cables into the right position, but, I have the Bose system in the car and when the unit is on i'm only getting sound from the rear speakers and the sub, nothing on the front speakers. Also, when the unit is muted or switched off i seem to be getting feedback some how.

Regards,

Martin

Have you wired and coded it correctly? I bet you haven't!

You need VAG-COM, also the wiring harness's are slightly different between Concert/Symphony and RNS-E. You might need to move a pin or two in the harness.

Yeah, i've taken the wiring harness out again and compared the the two units and i think that the Bose pin is not connected to anthing. Finally managed to swap the pin around, bit dark now to try it out. I'll give it another go in the morning and let you know what happens.
