My AA road map of the UK in the boot is from 1995! The OS one with it is from 2000. RNS-D is I think 2007 maps. 
Most places, especially the ones I want to go in my S8, haven't moved much since any of those years ...... 
My add-on (wireless) reversing camera works fine and having recently removed my XCarlink and DVB-T tuner (OTT) I just need take off the drivers knee panel (when its warmer!) to plug in the cable that will reinstate (a simpler) Bluetooth/mini-jack streaming audio solution.
And yes I do have CDs in the auto changer in the boot. 
Though oddly, re MJs comment above, my car is non-Bose so replacing the RNS-D would be easier than most.
My first S8 had an RNS-C, now that WAS a rare thing!
