At first I wanted to fit RNS-D, as the reason for changing the radio cassette unit is all about the looks and so I can play some CDs, but the I found out that the RNS-D navi plays only navigation CDs, not a music ones. But if it’s a real pain to fit a RNS-E then I’ll stick it RNS-D and a CD changer. Not really interested in using the TV and Navigation function on any of the RNS-E or RNS-D units, as I said it’s all about the look and the ability of playing music more easily…

Aside from the wiring, which will be non-trivial in a PF, the PF double-din facia is a different shape to both RNS-d and e units:
PF: RNS-doorstop Better off just fitting an aftermarket single-din media player tbh. |

Maybe there's a different PF fascia then for the RNS?
My PF S8 definitely had a RNS-C and it's exactly the same size as an RNS-D. The only way you can tell them apart from the front is that the RNS-C doesn't mention TV on the label on the bottom left button, you select it via a sub-menu if it's installed (as mine was). Edit: I will correct myself. The RNS-C has the same size body but the fascia is rectangular, so you'd need to trim an RNS-D faceplate to fit a PF. ![]() Attached photo demonstrates...…..

I’m really for the oem look, and there is no drama with finding the facia panel for my PF model, alredy found it and I found the RNS-D navi + CD Changer for £50 in like new condition. Never looked for any of these aftermarked navi’s or CD player but I’m very sceptical about the look. There is one Blaupunkt SQR 46 Bremen, but it’s £400 which is way too much for this unit.

Ok, you have my attention...
If I'm reading your site correctly, you can make SDHC work on a 192 unit from a C5? |

You have my attention as well.
![]() I vaguely thought about upgrading from RNS-D to RNS-E ages ago but it seemed somewhat pointless as the gains were offset by losses, but maybe no longer? ![]()
