Rnse fitted but no radio signal

[Stol1975]

As above. I have an a3 1.9tdie sport 09 with audi bluetooth and mfsw. I have fitted rnse mark 2 with a prefix ending in G. I realised it would need coding so I took the plunge and got vcds. I coded as best as I could working out what equipment I have and applying to the soft coding. Sat nav works and so does the phone capability but I can't get a radio signal or use my aux input by the handbrake. Is this coding or something I physically need to fit?
I have researched and researched and conversion adapters for antenna's crop up but this seams for cars that had symphony heads, mine was a concert.
I did PM a couple of experts on here about fitting originally but stupidly thought I could get vcds and be self efficient lol
Any way help please, now it's in I want it fully functioning and not having a radio or aux input from my iPhone is not what I wanted.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Pretty sure it is a common problem.

With Rnse you need to change the receiver located in the boot to get a decent signal.

Nigel is your man, sure he will be along shortly..

Thanks for that. Please tell me it's not gonna cost another £300 for a radio signal?? That's incredible considering what I've paid for the unit and vcds?
I could of had it all done and fitted with a new one for not much more!

I hope it's not mine which was stolen 2 weeks ago

Serial number FWSLC11718, code 1683, I've just started a new thread

Not unless you was driving in Lithuania. Sorry to here that, it seems I've up graded when car crime is on the way up and police numbers are on the way down

 

[Stol1975]

Sorry to here that. No it's not your unit. My wife's car was broken into 2 weeks ago and it's really upsetting. Hope they never damaged the the car too much. The thieving *******s would make more money learning how to fit them than steal them.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for any additional parts I need?

Thank you!

I'll have to get to audi and order the parts unless anyone on here has a cheaper option. It's funny that this is my first so called premium make car and I've never had to mess about as much to get things fixed/ modded.

Thanks again.

You could try eBay or eBay.de for secondhand amplifiers.

I'm actually thinking of sacking the fm fix off and fitting a DAB tuner and antenna from advanced in car. The YouTube clip with it working through Rnse and the mfsw seems pretty cool. It's even cheaper to do than the fm fix. Anyone actually fitted DAB yet?

£130?

No brainer to me!

I've seen it for £149 on the website. Where is it £130?

That's a decent price for DAB, I wonder how it would cost to fit and would it work on a Concert...

Right here

AutoDAB CTDAB-AU1 Audi A3, A4, TT OEM Digital Car Radio DAB Adaptor

Beats paying £300 to rectify a shoddy analogue signal which is old hat anyway, deffo going down this route when I get my RNSE along with an aftermarket Fiscon Bluetooth integration kit rather than use the original Audi adapter

No problem thanks for making me aware this was out there, only thing I'm not keen on is the Antenna on the windscreen in the video, much better value for money though
