toniboi Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi guys, I am new to this forum and I think this forum is just awesome. I recently bought a 07 RS4 Avant and I had quite some fun out that beast. Just one thing it is botherring a bit- the factory GenII+ symphony system. I am not saying it is bad as a CD player but for a car at this price without a multi-meida system it's just unacceptable. I dont know why all here in New Zealand, most RS4s I've seen are not equipped with the RNS-E. Maybe no road map for this model? Anyway, I am planning on replacing the symphony with the RNS-E. Just need to get some basics right: 1. If I buy an RNS-E from ebay and get a New Zealand map for it, will I be able to use it? 2. I saw people are talking about the 'Codes' in many other threads, what is it? 3. What is the reasonable price for an RNS-E? Thanks in advance guys!!

shark_90 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 You will need a diagnostic tool such as VCDS to recode the RNS-E and your dashboard to enable them to work properly. I'm not sure if there is a NZ map for the RNS-E but there is no reason that the unit wouldn't work in your car. Welcome to Tyresmoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I don't believe there is an NZ map. Try joining Audi Forum, there's several guys from Aus and NZ active on there who can probably answer. If you buy an RNS-E from Europe as well as getting the coding correct for your car (with VCDS) you'll also need to change an adaptation channel (also using VCDS) to tell it you are in the Southern Hemisphere.
