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? :Confused:
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?

Software coding 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?

I have RNS-D with Bose, let me dig out the coding from a scan. The coding is extracted from the unit I got from Ranj, I have not altered it since the car it was removed from had Bose.

Address 37: Navigation
Part No: 4D0 035 192 M
Component: RNS 4.2 H06 BNO 0140
VCID: 295DF997F969

Address 56: Radio
Part No: 4D0 035 192 M
Component: Radio BNO 0001
Coding: 00017
Shop #: WSC 00976
VCID: 295DF997F969

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. :Confused:

Anyone know what those codes mean?

My memory may be faulty, that was probably 00117. :o

I dont know if this thread helps.

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. +++
