Hi Folks I have noticed an issue with my RNS-E where if I switch off the ignition and the radio is off , there is still a hissing coming from the speakers as if there is still power getting to the unit. Is this normal ? I assume its not . Any ideas what could be wired incorrectly ? Kind...

Hi Again Well I installed the RNS-E today and pretty much am in the same situation. Everything works nice bar the Mode button on the wheel and also I cannot import my phone book contacts. I am assuming now this is just down to getting the radio coded correctly. I moved the bose and k-line wires...

Thanks Craig . Tim , not sure if any of this helped you but maybe your problems are down to the wiring also . I will let you know how I get on .

Hi Craig Thanks so much , you are very helpful , its really appreciated. Two questions. 1) You say Blue/Green . Do you mean a blue wire with a green stripe ? I checked and I think its just a blue wire . 2) Would you recommend upgrading to the RNS-E HU ?

Hi Craig Ok I think the wiring is a complete mess so, because I have a feeling I was sent the fitting instructions for a RNS-E HU ........ I am thinking now will I just bite the bullet and upgrade to the RNS-E Head Unit anyway . Is it definitely worth it ? Can you recommend a vendor on this...

What colour wire is that Craig ?

Concert EU B7 Soul is on the sticker. Think its the quadlock connector. Car is 2007 , UK model. I am thinking now will I just bite the bullet and upgrade to the RNS-E Head Unit anyway . Is it definitely worth it ? Can you recommend a vendor on this site who would supply one if that is the case...

Ok but on the radio diagram it shows Pin 6 as the K-Line (blue wire). Maybe varies across radios ?

Ok pulled out radio and K-Line appears to be the 6th connection (a blue wire) and the 5th appears to be an earth (brown wire) which is where my white is wired into ..... So it should be into the Blue wire according to the diagram on top of the Radio .

Have you a pic of what the wiring 'should' look like ? I dont know if I am allowed to link to external sites here but we used the wiring instruction as per the BT Module suppliers website.

Hi There was an iPod kit already fitted to the radio and he used the same plug so the wire going into the connection for k-line was brown ... do you think this could be causing some of my problems ?

Thanks . Well after I corrected the wiring , it made no difference to the display . The K-Line is also connected (white wire from BT Module connected into an existing brown) So , you think after fixing the CAN issue it wont have any impact on being able to program the module ?

Well we had tried but couldn't find the module when we tried querying it (77) but today , I pulled out the stereo and checked the wiring and found that the person who fitted had mistakenly connected the mute to the CAN L connection and the CAN L connection to Mute (!) , So I sorted that and will...

Should there be something on that Wiki page ?

Hi Tim I am having similar problems with my OEM install . Similar Problems: The contacts are not appearing on the main display. The scroll buttons on the steering wheel work and the Speak button works but the Mode button is not working correctly If I hit the Mode on the left and then press the...
