Sat Nav/TV in S3

[S3MHT]

Hi, I want to install a oem sat nav system in my S3, there are a number of threads but each one say's different things!

I currently have a symphony 2, so the air con unit is in the right place and i have enough space as the symphony 2 is the same size as the sat nav unit,

Can someone list exactly what I need to install it, and if possible where to get them and prices.

I have vag com so I can do that side of the installation.

Thanks

This is probably the best starting point for an 8L installation.

RNS-D or RNS-E?

Ebay for both.

RNS-D or RNS-E?

Ebay for both.

Which is the one that will fit straight in??? (as in no need to trim down etc..)

 

[steve1975l]

The old CD based RNS-D for 8L will fit in, very rare though and probably will cost as much as the RNS-E.

Right ok, so what would I have to do to get the RNS-E to fit in? As i said I have already got the right space for it!

A4 RNS-E needs a trim to fit.

ok nice one, Where needs to be trimmed the sides or the top?? also what do you trim it with without it looking tacky?


Will I need any other special cables or will it go straight in, also do I need anything else to get the TV working? (not sure if the tuner is built in or not)

 

[steve1975l]

Trim the sides with a dremel or a plane and then a file or some wet and dry. Send me a PM with your e-mail address as I have something of interest.

You would need a TV tuner if that is what you want although I doubt the reception would be great. Stick to a PS2 and you get a games console and a DVD player and cheap enough now.

Cheers steve, already got a slimline ps2 that never get touched anymore so would cost me nothing

Sounds like a good idea I never used mine either now it sits in my car.

I have sent you a mail, all I ask in return is some feedback.
