Will RNS-E Hybrid TV tuner from my D2 fit in D3 MMI?
Not sure whether i should post this is in the D2 or D3 forum but here goes for nothing!
As title really...if I was thinking of parting with my much loved 2001 S8 and going D3 would the Audi Hybrid TV Tuner (I bought off Ian some time ago) in my D2 feeding a retrofitted RNS-E work on the back end of a D3 MMI that might not have TV fitted as standard?  Just thinking out loud here...  Thanks & kind regards, -=Glyn=-

Simply put, no.
The MMI on the A8 (and later on, the A6 and A4) all use a fibre optic bus called MOST. The RNS-E is far more basic, and just canbus + video etc.... In short, they are about the same size physically, but otherwise, couldnt be any more different  On the plus side, the RNS-E digi tuners are still in demand, so should have no bother moving it on for roughly what a D3 tuner will cost...

Aah...that's a pity.
 At least I did fit the tuner...still have the MFSW that I bought from you years ago in a box with all the relevant bits I think.  Never did get round to fitting that...looking for inspiration really. I know you done a terrific write up and Sergey has also travelled this road but I'm still wondering where to start... -=Glyn=-

I'd be interested in your existing hybrid tuner for rns-e if you decide to sell it. I have an analogue rns-e box I can part-ex if you don't still have yours

Like you Adrian I also have the older analogue TV tuner from the retrofitted RNS-E install.
I also have the original TV Tuner that was originally factory fitted alongside the RNS-D. Unlike you I also have the Hybrid Digital/Analogue tuner and now I need to buy yet another Hybrid TV tuner! So you see I have enough TV Tuners already Adrian so,you will excuse me if I pass on your kind generous offer...  Thanks & kind regards, -=Glyn=-

No worries - the person I bought my car from threw all the old tuner and rns-d parts in a bin so I thought I'd offer
Still interested in a straight buy if you decide to take it out, but guessing you'll leave it in the d2 to help it sell?
