Why not buy a Seat RNS-E? For not much more $$, you'd have a far superior unit.

IDK what that is???

It's the RNS-E that came with an overseas 2010 Seat Exeo.

* Higher resolution LED screen
* Support for up to 32GB SDHC cards
* Faster processor

Does it come with north America maps?

No, when I bought mine it didn't come with Australia maps that I needed. But your existing maps will work fine.

Wrong. US maps require converting the unit to NA spec, which is a lot more involved than the older units

Is it? Did not know that. Had to get the unit converted from EU to AU coding.


But have I mentioned how great it is to be able to use SDHC cards? :D I have 16GB of music on ONE CARD! :p

Well, Im still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
This is the third rns-e Ive bought so far,
First one I bought from a seller named unslanted and it was just a regular 192 unit. us spec.
Its screen was scratched to shit and it had plasti dipped buttons when I got it. (the pictures appeared fine) clearly got ripped off.
so I returned that one.
Ordered a 8E0 193 unit. Which I thought was shadey but it looked good anyways. Turns out its a a3 board with a fake Label.
Clearly shows different numbers and manufacturing dates with VCDS. seller to.ld me he took it out of a 2011 a4
its a shitty refurbished unit made up of used parts that wont even accept the security pin.
So i'm returning that and I just ordered the 3R0 035 193 unit out of a seat exeo.
Looking forward to it will start a thread when i get it installed properly
LED SCREEN AND 32 GB SD capacity FTW

holy crap. I was looking at getting a 8E0 193 unit and now I'm scurred. Every once in a while I see a great price pop up, but I've always been hesitant to pull the trigger.

I think as long as you pick up a seat unit, or an 8P0 unit (a3) and swap the faceplate yourself you should be safe.
Deffinitly learned the hard way...... thank god for paypal claims otherwise I'd be out a ton of money with nothing usefull to show.

How do you know what p/n are good? I thought all b6 rns-e were the same, Im confused on how that works.
