Default RNS-D coding (especially for Bose)

Can anyone point me at (or supply) a guide to coding RNS-D. I've had a good look round and can't find anything still online.
In particular I want to know how to turn Bose on and off. And anything else of interest.

Reason is I'm playing with my RNS-D to try and resolve some problems and now have a "selection" of components/units that I'm swapping. But some are from a Bose system and my car is non-Bose so using them I get minimal sound output.

Might be easiest to pull the soft coding from your original unit and just copy that across? Had to do that with our a6. Either that or vcds should try and lead you through coding it correctly

Bose 0xx9xxx
Non Bose will have something else instead of 9, like 5.

Thanks, but... I may be being dumb but where is that?
Is it some weird key combination on the RNS to access a hidden menu, or an adaptation channel somewhere that I can access/change with VCDS?

Hmm, went and plugged in VCDS and looked at the Soft Coding field in both the Radio and Navigation controllers.

Radio said something like 1740, no idea what that means.
Nav said something like "Inv. Msg. Len."

I'll check again tomorrow, maybe that's a communication problem?

Thanks, my car is non-Bose and looking at some saved scans I can see that the Radio was generally 00207 (since I got the car) though I have one scan of 00117 though I'm not 100% sure what unit that was.

Anyone know what those codes mean?

My memory may be faulty, that was probably 00117.

Thanks for that, will have a look sometime (unless someone here already has that info).
Meanwhile I just changed 00117 to 00207 and the front speakers burst into life.
