Trying to Purchase a NAV unit for B6 S4

[wakzak33]

I have been looking around for a while, and can't seem to figure out, if there are any RNS-E that fit my car. Or actually, which Audi navigation will fit into my car? I have no idea if I have a Symphony-II or whatever. I just have the cd player with the satellite radio, I just really like the nav because of the screen as well.

So if anybody could fill me in with what Nav's fit a B6 S4, please do :) Thanks alot.

Yes the RNS-E is plug and play.

Yes the RNS-E is plug and play.

Not quite - the RNS-E uses a Quadlock connector (which the Symphony II doesn't) and has a dual Fakra antenna connector (which the Symphony II doesn't).
So as well as ANY A4 version of the RNS-E (ie one with a part number beginning 8E0) you'll need a wiring adapter to convert from ISO to Quadlock (you'll need to specify if you have Bose or not since the adapter has to be made differently) and an antenna adapter to convert from Fakra + "normal" antenna connector to dual Fakra.

Oh and you'll need either a GPS hockey puck antenna or, if you're in the US, you can use a Fakra to Fakra extension lead to connect to the GPS antenna built-in to the sharkfin antenna.

Once you've installed it you'll need someone with VAG-COM to re-code the instruments so the navigation instructions appear on your DIS, and to code the RNS-E to match the options in your car (MFSW, CD changer, phone, sat radio, etc.).

Well considering they got the complete package is what i meant. Then it is plug and play.

I learned a lot from Dave over at navplus forums. Hes a great guy

I had an 03 B6 A4 3.0L Q which I had upgraded to have a nav (RNS-E) and paid way too much for it...I have a B7 S4 now which came with the RNS-E so I have an extra setup that I would let go of pretty cheap...PM me and I will send you photos/info..
