T-ERA

ignition switched is easy, but no good - I wanted accessory switched. Now I have my MMI switched by RNS-E power, so it is on whenever RNS-E is on, perfect.

I have it all done now, have the camera auto-switching when in reverse, DIS error is gone (resistor), and videos are playing nicely. VIM hack is next I suppose! Thanks all for your assistance.

This weekend I installed the reverse camera, after much stuffing around getting the boot release plastic thigo out, I finally figured it out, a bit of dremel to make room for the connectors and the camera went in fairly fine, but now the DIS is whinging that the number plate light is...

I could not find switched accessory circuit on the fuse panel. Now I have installed a fused relay, tapped into permanent live for the relay, and switched the relay with D13 from the RNS-E, seems to be working fine. Just need to to sort out the C-2 pin issue now....

Thanks Danny, is yours a B7? I could not find a switched accessory circuit on the fuse panel. Now I have installed a fused relay, tapped into permanent live for the relay, and switched the relay with D13 from the RNS-E, seems to be working fine.

Hi NHN, I know, but that is the problem, there are no switched accessory lines in the fuse box, they are all either always hot, or switched ignition ????

Hi Danny, did you get this sorted out? What did you use for switched accessory feed? I am having the same problem in a B7 A4...

Well I got all the parts I need, just waiting for the iphone video adapter. The multimedia interface I got is an "ERA" one , and to my surprise it has a second input for the reverse camera, and REV12V+ IN (from reverse lights) and 12V+OUT (to RNS-E) so I don't have to build an automatic...

Thanks for that, will post back after install.

So is the reverse signal that needs to feed to the RNS-E the output from the gearbox, and is this something different to the 12v from the reverse lights? I understnad in your case you had the mirror setup so you used that, I'm just trying to understand if there is a difference between the 12v...

I have just ordered the bits and pieces to do this myself to my B7. I have an RNS-E from the factory (had the car since new) with bluetooth, nav, 6-stacker in the glovebox, but no ipod or TV. I have coming; 1) a multimedia interface 2) iphone/ipad video/audio/usb adapter cable 3) iphone dock...
