terrymcg Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi, I have recently added an RNS-E unit to my A3. I have the Bose Sound System. I take it that the unit I bought was not from a Bose car as it still has Gala settings enabled in the menu, and as I understand you should not be using Gala if you have Bose. So: 1. Will my car need any other recoding done to make the Bose work properly or is it just the AudioPilot that needs enabled. 2. I know nothing about Vag-com or what cables to buy from ebay, so could someone give me a quick idiots guide in what cable I need and software to download. 3. Is there anyone near West Lothian that knows what they are doing and has the stuff that may be able to help me out. Cheers, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UweRoss Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Since you have a completely CAN-based car, you're not going to find what you need on fleaBay. The most cost-effective setup for your car is the Micro-CAN interface: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/Micro-CAN.html We've got the codings for the RNS-E pretty well documented here: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/Audi_Radio/Navigation_System_%28RNS-E%29#Coding -Uwe- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Terry, where are you based? I'm sure someone one could help you recode your system, and show the benefits of owning your own vag-com setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymcg Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 TDiAvant, Yeah that would be good as I dont want to fork out quite a bit of cash when I dont really know what it does. I live in between Glasgow and Edinburgh if there is anyone willing to give me a demo/recode my car! There will be beer in it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm in the Newcastle area if your willing to travel, if not check the vag-com user database to see if anyone is in your area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymcg Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 TDiAvant Do you have the right cable for my car? Are you familiar with all the ins and outs of what I need to do to my RNS-E unit? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 The normal RNS-E works fine using GALA, but there is indeed a special setting for the microphone which is part of the Bose AudioPilot. Have you actually installed that microphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymcg Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Oh, is my car not already equipped with the mic as I have Bose, did my old Symphony II not use it? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 It should indeed have the microphone then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
