Very impressed with this, I based my efforts on the same cubby hole from aliexpress, but instead used a 15w Letscom charger.
Used a dremmel to cut out various parts of the cubby hole to allow the charger to fit, and this means I am still able to see the LED status light.
The cutouts also meant...
Hi,
I have a retrofit unit RNS-E High (not the high def screen), with software reported as SW: X-- (hacked to use SDS)
I've had the odd disc read error on my satnav disc, so would like to investigate if it's just the disc that's at fault, before investigating any repair of the unit.
There are...
Hi Cabby,
My transplant is complete!
Took the DIS from an S coded (Jan 2005) model into my Q model (Nov 2004).
Oddly seems a little sharper, and now no faded pixels appear, even when it gets really warm.
Thanks for the guide. It really is much appreciated from another car owner with...
Found a cable going from the window motor to the door lock. If I remove the cabling, this stops the door lock from working.
I'm guessing that it's either this cable or the locking actuator.
I've also noticed that when locking/unlocking the passenger rear door I get an extra click, that is...
The Ross-Tech wiki shows this:-

Hi,
I have had an odd problem with my A4 2004 B7 since I got it a few weeks ago.
All doors lock fine with central locking, but the rear left door won't open unless you open it from inside the car. Once it's opened once from inside, it will open from the outside OK.
I have the following...
Hi,
Thanks for the updates.
Cabby, can you confirm if you can use B7 LCD clusters (2005-2008) for transplant? You mention the cluster being incompatible, but do you know if the LCD's are the same?
Cheers, Lee
Finding this thread has made my day. I'm so pleased to see that the B6/B7 cluster DIS is on a removable ribbon cable. You would think that these screens must be available somewhere in the world. I'll see what I can find.
Did you need to remove the negative battery connector in the engine bay...
Hi Craig,
Got it all working.
Here is the coding I ended up using:-
Steering
04041
Navigation/Radio
0301715
Telephone
0001802
I get the name of the caller, and can answer the phone with the MFSW.
Sorted out the horrendously loud initial connection bong by adjusting the volume on the...
Hi Craig,
The mic was polarity. I managed to break into the cables and reversed them. I can now argue with my car, instead of it being a one way conversation.
Cheers, Lee
Thanks mate, that's spot on.
I'll post back to let you know how I get on.
To at least get SDS working, they connected the Mic direct to the RNS-E, but that does not work, and has the following fault:-
02454 - Microphone Unit (in Front Roof Module) (R164)
011 - Open Circuit - Intermittent...
Hi Craig,
Is it 'totally' incompatible or is it just stuff like directory and the more advanced stuff that will not work?
Will it still show the phone is calling, and would I be able to answer the call with the steering wheel for example?
Cheers, Lee
Hi,
I've just opened up the Kufatec quadlock loom, and there is no connection for K-Line.
I suspect this could be the reason why the unit cannot communicate with the RNS-E. Does this sound right?
I've got my work cut out for the weekend. I'll get myself some Audi repair wire.
Cheers, Lee
Hi,
It's a 8P0 862 335 D, that was originally fitted to an Audi A3.
Are you able to test to see if it is in operating condition, if I were to post it to you? I would of course cover all costs/fees.
Cheers, Lee
Hi,
Not 100%, but I believe I have found why my Bluetooth module is not seen by my RNS-E.
The OEM bluetooth kit was originally fitted to an Audi A3 (and will use the CanBus).
My A4 is a B7 and so uses the K Line.
I have the kit and kufatec quadlock loom out of the car.
According to this...
Hi,
Just got myself a 2004 B7 S line. Has an unusual issue with the rear door. After unlocking the car, the rear passenger door cannot be opened from the outside.
If you open the car from the inside and then try opening it again from outside it's fine.
Could the door have been locked...
