RNS-E Sat Nav Audi A4 B7

[chev]

Im getting an RNS-E SatNav (navigation plus) fitted next week into a single DIN unit. It's a "professional" job including the conversion to double DIN.

The unit is reconditioned and in good working order (not yet seen the unit):

1. Is there anything i should ask or look out for before installation?

Hope you can help, as i dont want anything to crop up later and then find out on here, that it's a common fault etc.

Cheers in advance.

double din conversion

double din cage, qround £50

lower ashtray and double din heater controls ebay average £200

rnse unit £500

gps £10

double din connector conversion £25

twin fakra connector £20


If you already have double din then its the rnse unit and slight modification for K wire postion

The double DINconversion is in the price, including unit, all in £600.

They are using the same air con unit and i believe they file it down so it can be moved lower to fit the satnav.

sounds like it

if done carefully, can this look like it came from the factory???

Ive heard a lot of good things about oemretrofits and heard they do a cracking job, but £600 is a bit steep for me to be honest, i know its cheap compared to other routes, but i think i would have a job to convince the missus that £600 on a stereo/satnav is a worthwhile spend!! Lol
Do you reckon they do finance

rnse unit with double din and gps should set you back £350 to £400

double din cage £50

straight forward retro fit

Yah, I understand - it is not the cheapest way. Also, it is not cheap at all for what you get - a kind of old sat nav without a touch screen or ipod connection etc.

But I saved some money to get this done because I really wanted it (instead of going holiday and eatout etc). My car has got Audi original bluetooth and CD-changer with steering wheel control, which I didn't used for a while since I installed a sony cd-unit with BT, instead. I always wished fully utilise them. Everything works fine now.

The point is I just wanted to let people know if they desperately want it without getting their hands dirty. RNS-E may cost £300-400 from ebay, GPS antenna=£20, double din cage=£50, double din dash= £50-100?, a harnesses, some VAG-COM work plus a few hours labour. It is not that bad, I think...

I don't think they do finance, by the way.

Hi all does anyone know any where that this mod can be done in the West Midlands? I have an A4 b7 model with a standard concert head unit and would like it converting to a double din touch screen sat nav with parking camera if possible? Thanks
