Paul Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 8L A3/S3 upto May 2003 will be an RNS-D CD Based Sat Nav. 2003 onwards 8P A3/S3 is the RNS-E DVD Based Sat Nav. There was an upgrade to the RNS-E MKII Somewhere through 2010. (excact date im not sure on) Amongst the upgrades: CD/TV Button changed for Media Glossy black bezel around the screen Higher Res LED screen Higher spec processor Audi AMI compatable (track names through ipod) 2 x 32GB SDHC cards hope this helps.

GrahamS4 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks Paul very useful. I had meant 8P - thought about it and still got it wrong! The media button is a good tip, the later unit would be good to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) On the whole, MK11 unit is the better choice, however, if you want to retrofit SDS ( speech Dialogue System for voice commands) its harder to hack than the MK1 version. It is best to start with a unit that supports SDS, rather than try and add it after, after can be done for circa £150 ish, but is prone to being undone/overwritten by future updates on later DVDs. Mine is a MKII 2011 version, with media button, and part number ends 193 G ( No SDS) More info here on different part numbers.
