Default 1st time poster.....Question about RSN-E unit

Hello all,


Long time reader first time poster... I have a 04 A4, w/the symphony II double din (non bose) I want to install the RNS-E...has anyone ever ordered one from these guys http://www.vagnavs.com before? are they reputable?

is this unit really as easy to install as pulling out the old unit and plugging in the new one? I don't need any brackets or anything? just want to make sure... thanks everyone....

Default If you have the sharkfin and want to use it, then it is a little more than plug & play

...or you can just run the GPS antenna behind the glove or instrument cluster. But in short, it is basically plug &amp; play. Check AZ for used RNS-E units (I picked one up with VIM unlocked for $900 with all associated cabling).

Theyre pretty reputable. If you find one for a good price there, go for it.

Default You're going to have to route an extension cable from the back of your car to the head unit -

This requires pulling some interior bits, trim, etc. STFA and there is some info on how to do it. I too have the sharkfin but opted to use the GPS antenna behind the glove which works well enough -
