Rns-d

[H0LLYW00D]

So to make a long story short, a euro RNS-D unit basically fell into my lap for next to nothing. Everyone loves the RNS-E on here, and i understand most of the differences between the two units, and have a decent understanding of what it takes to set it up (thanks navplus). I know i would need an external 6disk, ect.

My question is weather the RNS-D unit is worth my time, remember i already have the unit (and it was basically free). I would love an RNS-E but i'm a college student paying out of state tuiting (OUCH, 30+/year for Purdue) and i don't see myself parting with 4+ grand for the RNS-E at the moment, but maybe i'll change my mind.

So, is there anyone who uses this unit? I understand it's not as nice as an rns-e, so is it worth my time or should i throw that ish on ebay?`

throw RNS-D on Ebay.

my guess is that your drive a B6 S4 or something since you posted here. I see you are on a tight budget but you don't have to spend 4+ grand on a RNS-E unit.

I have a RNS-E unit for sale that will fit any B6/B7 cars, it's a complete package, pm me if you want it. It way way less than 4+grand

Any actual experience with an rns-d? Yes i have a b6 s4, and its more or less the fact that i could have an rns-d up and running for next to nothing, and that an rns-e would cost me considerbly more. I understand the rns-e is better, i'm asking if the rns-d is worth installing considering the circumstance. Looking for specific reasons why it is/isn't worth it.

i had it in the b5 s4, and it a decent unit... i had no complaints with it.

I assume that you only have the head unit so far. so you will need to buy adpater wires, Nav DVD, and some kind of face plate. the price of these three items can vary some roughly $200 i guess or maybe more.
then since you said you have the Euro Version, who is going to do the conversion for you? do you have a legit USB Vag-Com CAN bus cable? if not you either have to ask for someone to do it hopefully it's free or you will have to pay $329 for that cable to do it yourself.

I am not trying to push you to buy my RNS-E here but what I want to say is the RNS-D looks very outdated, i would consider this as a downgrade to you S4. RNS-E looks best in the B6/B7 S4.
