Hi

question as above. Can navigation plus be retrofitted ?

If so , can anyone recommend someone in the birmingham area to do the job ?

Yes it can and it's easy to do yourself.

The RNSE is plug 'n' play with a bit of coding and the gps aerial is placed above the glovebox.

Make sure you get a 'square' faced unit not a rounded top one as this is for the A3 and won't fit in the space.

Thanks. I found this on eBay , pls delete if inappropriate :

Audi A4 S4 RS4 RNS-E LED DVD navigation MEDIA sat nav RNSE-PU BLACK PIANO GLOSSY | eBay

Is £579 a fair price ? I need it for a 2006/7 A4 ie. previous shape A4

That's what you need - if you don't want to spend £579 you can get the MK1 for significantly less

The difference to tell is that the Mk1 has a CD/TV button beside the RADIO button and the MK2 has a MEDIA button.

The screen is higher res on the MK2 and is slightly faster.

And yes, that is a fair price for a 'square' 193 model.

I need it for a 2006/7 A4 ie. previous shape A4, so it's appropriate for that ?

Also while on the subject of retrofits , is it possible to retrofit heated seats to an existing full leather interior ?

**Guest 2** · 16-08-2012,08:28 PM

Yep that's perfect for your B7.

Not sure on that as I assume a new AC panel with Seat heating controls and loads of wiring will be needed and of course the heating elements for the two seats.

I installed the AMI in my 2008 A6 which was pretty much plug and play too.

First time poster!

This thread looks to be exactly what I want to do to my B7 A4 avant? I want to replace the Mk1 RNS-E nav unit with the Mk2 but Only if the Mk2 unit supports SDHC cards (ideally 32gb ones) for my tunes? Currently it can handle 2Gb cards but I've to a lot of music!? Can you guys confirm?

Cheers
