I'd need to look, but there was a chap on ebay selling RNS-Es with the correct faceplate and a host of other options available to spec it how you want

For the small additional cost I would definitely get one of the later units with chrome power button - it doesn't then limit you to 4GB SD cards, which are a nightmare to get hold of now (most cheap 4GB SD cards are actually DSHC, just not marked as such, and don't work in the original RNS-E!)

You can also add an AMI interface (Notorious has one mounted in the cubby to the right of the steering column, which acts as a useful place to plug your phone in for charging/music) and I would definitely spec the bluetooth module for the OEM integration (doesn't do bluetooth streaming, unless the specs have changed with newer modules, which they might have)

I never found the lack of directions in the DIS bothered me that much, but maybe the member on here who has figured out CAN messages on the D3 instrument cluster could figure out why it doesn't work and knock up a suitable device to convert the signal?
