Default RNS-D Safe

I have a spare Navi Plus RNS-D from a D2 A8 unit that i have managed to lock - bassically when you turn it on it comes up with SAFE - does anyone know how to get this back to the point of entering the code? I bought it for my old B5 A4 (Its not nicked - i do have the code for it) but with the car sold i want to test it before i sell the unit.

just leave it turned on for an hour and it should then allow you to enter the code.

The RNS-D requires another 12v feed that isnt present on non sat nav cars.

If you look on the RNS there should be a wiring diagram showing which is the safe wire.

The SAFE displayed on the screen is not related to the lock code but without it connected you cannot enter the code.

^^^ Wot he said..... Often seen if you try and run one on a bench PSU out of the car....

Put + 12 to the permanent live, ignition live and safe and you'll then be able to enter the code

Yup - i found that out after playing around with it in my old A4 which had a Symphony double din unit in it.

When i plug it into my S8 (equipped with a RNS-D and TV tuner) i still get safe. I am yet to try leaving it plugged in for an hour.
