Default RNS-E add-on help needed

Hey all, I have the RNS-E from an A4. I would like to add reversing camera and iPod integration and Bluetooth. I would like near-factory functionality, IE control iPod through RNS-E, contacts on RNS-E, auto-switch to reversing camera. I'm in the US so the car didn't originally include RNS-D and TV tuner, but I do have Audi Telematics (onstar). If anyone could point me to the hard-parts I'd need it would at least give me a start. Thanks.

You will heed to alter the fascia plate by folling this guide and I think the link lists the parts as well

You can fit the A4 one, but there will be a slight gap on the sides. If you can, get a 4B A6 one and trim to suit. You'll need a GPS reciever, they're cheap. You'll find one for less than $15 or so and it just hooks into the back and then sits somewhere behind the unit. You'll also need adapters to allow fitment from whatever current unit you've got (Symohony/Concert)? I dunno, but check the Kufatec website and you should be able to work out what you need on there, if not, e-mail them. RNS E is a great upgrade, you won't regret it. Fitting of it is well documented on here, have a search.

Ah, sorry. I'd just got up when I read that.

Anyway, the reversing camera is the thing I'd like to add most. I know that you have one on your RS6 That's housed in a number plate lamp. I'd like that same style housing, does the 6 and the 8 use the same tag light?

Yes, I believe so. Loads on the bay, but the design of mine is stupid in that it shows too much ground less things behind me. I'd get a non license light plate one.
