AUX RNS-E (pics)

[plokm]

You must have sw260 and Vagcom

Pn# 1J0 972 977 G --Housing (x1)


Check your rns-e before you order this part. You may already have it.


Pn# 000 979 009 E --Wire set (x2)


Radio shack 3.5 jack and wires



Step 1:
Find a location where for the aux outlet. DO NOT DRILL ANY HOLES YET!!! It will be a PITA if this DIY doesn’t work for you.

Step 2:
Cut both of the wire set in half and then measure the length of wire needed to reach the outlet and connect them together.


Step 3:
Solder the wires to the aux outlet




Step 4:
Push the pins into the housing.


Aux Right- pin 6
Aux Left - pin 22
Aux Ground - pin 21



Step 5:
Plug it into the rns-e to test it out.


Recode the RNS-E to enable Aux input using vag-com

XXXXX?X
? = 5 to enable AUX
? = 6 to enable AUX and SAT radio




Step 6:
Wrap the wires with black electric tape.


Step 7:
Drill a hole for your aux outlet and mount it.

Nice write-up. I will need to do this!

[tecnica]

great write up

[EMAXX]

Did you have to remove the center console to mount the AUX there?

[plokm]

I removed the ash tray, shifter trim, the piece under the hand brakes and that power outlet piece is removable

[Sharkfin]

that's awesome, surprised there wasn't already an OEM harness to buy

[vwnobby]

What is sw260?

[CorneliusRox]

Does this work if you have SAT? Awesome DIY though!

[plokm]

What is sw260?

software update

[plokm]

yes

[layzie]

how do you get sw260? Wouldnt that just be the vag-com to change the settings in the rns-e?

you can get it with the 2009-up navi disc

[b7kevin]

You have the b7 seal of approval.

[layzie]

anyone have or know where to get the 09+ navi disc ansd sw260?

[vwnobby]

software update

Thanks. In other words, if you have the 2009+ Nav disc, it automatically loads the software update?

[snopyro]

Can you just buy this kit from Kufatec to do the same thing?

[plokm]

if you want the oem aux plug the part number is 8J0 035 475


you also have to get 8E0 973 754

[philaboy]

yes

If you don't want to get the new nav disc can you just vag it? My disc tray won't eject but it works fine, note it has been unlocked by the dealer a few years back. I don't want to send the unit out.

[BASARAB]

dont really understand what you are asking. What u mean by vag it and unlocked by dealer?

[philaboy]

yeah was sending that from my phone it did not come out the way I wanted, but what I mean is that my disc tray is not working (will not eject) I had the dealer unlock the eject button a few years ago it worked fine when they did it. I got a new copy of the nav disc 2009, pushed the button and it tried to eject but would not come out. So my question is can I just do the mod and vag it so aux comes up on the unit? or will I need that new disc?

Funny thing is the nav works fine, just will not eject the disc....smh

[BASARAB]

I think there is a function in vag-com to enable/disable eject button

[philaboy]

yeah i had the dealer do that, the disc just won't come

[philaboy]

yeah i had the dealer do that, the disc just won't come

all i want is aux in my car, i have Sw0150 just checked. is sw260 the only why I can get the aux to show up. If it is I have to get the unit fixed....wtf

Could I update the software using a SD card

[BASARAB]

Could I update the software using a SD card

No and I dont think there is anything to fix, just enable eject button with vag-com, very easy

[philaboy]

that was done, it shows the cd is ejected on the screen. But it won't come out.

[plokm]

you need sw260

I think you can use vag-com to force ejection

[CorneliusRox]

So for 'Pn# 000 979 009 E --Wire set (x2)' do you actually need three? Left, Right,Ground?

You only need 2 as you can cut one in half and have 2 pins, then do the same with the other and have an extra pin.

ahh that makes sense.

Finally did this mod tonight. Here is what I had to do in addition to what is mentioned above:

- Recode the RNS-E to enable Aux input using vag-com
XXXXX?X
? = 7 to enable AUX and SAT radio - As per Ross-Tech site (here)

- I also had to reboot the RNSe - hold down FM/AM (or Radio) and Setup at the same time for 15+ seconds. The unit will reboot.

After doing the above 2 steps, I finally got everything to work.

[GA42.0T]

I tried this but couldn't get it to work with my RNSE. Couldn't get the RNSE to take the new code.

I've got a Euro spec RNSE that a fellow AZ'er hacked with North American software. I have no idea how he did it, but I belive that whatever he did is preventing this mod to work. My other buddy what full Rosstec VAG COM couldn't get the RNSE to take the new code. It kept coming back with an error message about invalid software or something.

So I've got this setup that I don't need. Selling it in classifieds here.

I installed an Aux on a 2007 RS4 with SW250 and it all worked smoothly, so for those of you trying to keep the video hack, it may not be necessary to upgrade to 260.
