Nav+ RNS4 install (lots of pics inside)

Jerome B · 04-26-2005, 08:08 AM

I just completed the Nav+ RNS4 CD install in my 2001 allroad, based on TeddyBgame experience. Thx !
I didn't want to install the RNS-E DVD because of my 2001 black A/C front plate. Did not like the idea Nav and A/C color won't match (RNS-E is gray). Another reason : RNS-E is really expensive. Here, cost was low : $1100 all included.
Install was easy. So far, I do not have any regret, I love the color screen and the Navigation

I published pics on a French Audi fan forum, but because I love this forum, I wanted to share them with you too (sorry for the french comments)

Would it work with the 04 AR?
Can you play the audio CD's when navigation is working?

assuming 2 or 3 differences concerning the CAN BUS mainly. TeddyBGame has described very well what are differences between 2000/2001 and 2002/2005 install.
Yes, You can play music from the CD changer or from the AM/FM radio during navigation.
