2003 is the latest firmware, once you get the TMC module hooked up the same firmware CD also contains the latest TMC update, simply select update TMC instead.

Thats cool. Gives me time to find a start up image I want to use

The RNS-D as I found out needs a gala signal and gps signal for navigation, my car already had Gala at the headunit.


I got a GALA feed, hopefully that's ok.

I used an aftermarket GPS antenna and fitted that under the dashboard. The receiver should idealy have no metalwork above it, so under the dash is fine.

I'll relocate this to the dash at the weekend

Dont need to touch that menu, once you get the gala hooked up properly it should work fine, the reason your jumping all over the place is that GPS is only sampled every 30 seconds, as the car uses gala primarily and GPS as a secondary.

I'll ignore it and move the aerial. Thanks

The tuner is analogue only so no use in the UK, you dont need to use it to get an AV input and it just adds unneccsary complexity. Instead buy this, and forget the tuner.

I also bought this plug and play loom and combined the one above into this to make a single loom, this kit will get you gala onto the right pin on the 28 pin connector and give you somewhere to hook in the Can-H and Can-L connections.

I did see that but thought I'd save the extra expense and just use the TV tuner since I got it.

I have attached the install guide I used, its for an A6 and shows how to connect it all up. Took some searching to find as the site hosting the docs is long gone. You dont need all the bits, just pick the relevant areas in this document.
That's a really good doc, Thank you.
I've read his name around a couple of times but can never find his docs.
Do you know if there is a phase 2 doc around?
