RNS on ebay
 

does anyone know if it is possible to fit this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/audi-sat-n...item3f0bfad887 to my pf a8.

to be honest, I wouldn't bother.

Have you got a double DIN fascia already, or just the small single DIN?

If you've got double, then go for either the RNS-E or a Pioneer DVD based unit.

If single then buy a TomTom or a pop out screen jobbie.

The RNS-D is pretty horrid to use and the maps for the UK are now very out of date, so suspect you'd have the same issue down your way.

I've got RNS-E in mine and it works pretty well, but my £250 TomTom is a far better device for navigation only.

Looking at the part number, its an RNS-C - Its not worth 50 quid, or the money it will cost you to get the code for it (although a *friendly* Audi garage will do it for free)

RNS-D can get up to date maps, it the RNS-C that stopped in 2007.

But either way, the RNS-E represents far better value for money, however theres little chance of getting it to fit a Pre face car, so even I would give up on that one.

Tomtom will probably struggle for reception unless you get an external aerial, so the best you can do is a pop out screen single din nav unit like the pioneer avics for example.....

Or, buy a paper map..., its easier.. :D

i have single din so would have to change it to double din fl facia i dont know if the climate control is swop out or requires some work.
im not too worried bout how well it works.just that it works .im just looking to update the look of the centre console would like sat nav dosnt have to be perfect im not big fan of sat nav, would like tv and maybe reverse camera and mp3 if im lucky not that i need the reverse camera i wouldnt of bought big car if couldnt drive it.also not wanting to spend 1000s of rands on it.

lol paper map.old school just how i like it, costs few rands to buy and its always there no matter if power is on or off.

I remember those! :lol:

Sat nav only seems to be any good if you know where you're going, or fo finding a street when you get there. Paper maps don't tell lies or send you down a road with grass growing in the middle and thinking you can do 60 down it. Also if you can find a A3 size book map it'll fit in the document holder and stop you service book wallet from flying out when you boot it.

Haha... brilliant top tip there.... :D

I'm thinking about the RNS-E update and recall that either the A6 or A4 version was a slightly better fit. Can anyone advise which and provide a part number please?

Most info in this thread here and believe the A6 one is a slightly easier fit, but both require an amount of trimming.

Mine is 4B0035192P which is from an A6, I believe.
