RNSE Decode

[jonnyf]

Hi guys ive previously owned a B5 and ive just got myself a 55plate tdi s line and a RNS-E to go into it! but it needs decoding as it was from a salvage vehicle anyone know how to do this?? Any help appreciated cheers!

When you say decoding, you mean it needs the pin code to enable usage?

 

[jonnyf]

Yeah thats what i mean ive bought it second hand lol

Goto audi fella, least that way you know you & audi only have the code, it doesnt cost much tbh, £30-£40 even if its a 5 minute job.

 

[jonnyf]

it seems a bit of a rip off considering they are supposed to have it on file anyway, is there no other way?

 

[NHN]

How you figure that, you bought a unit 2nd hand & the code would be provided to the original owner with the car usually foc on proof of documentation, I see no reason why thats a rip of as you're not the original owner.

 

[jonnyf]

i see your point but someones already paid for it why do they need more ha!

 

[NHN]

lol, stop being a tight ****, I'm sure you got it allot cheaper than the £2.7k audi want for them now, so its small change fella

 

[jonnyf]

a hell of a lot cheaper yes! nope i refuse to give audi the money haha! got a mate who works there to look into it for us now

If you have an audi tech mate, he can get it in 30 seconds flat.

it can be decoded with a disc but at your perril i did mine when i bought it from a salvage yard but i was warned when i did it i could end up with a very expensive brick! I think what the disc does is forces a down grade then the code apears at the bottom of the screen its the last four digits. i did mine but would never recomend it as nige says dont be tight and ruin it over pennies as replacment,s aint cheap.

Yes there is a method, but as nutty says, its not worth the risk, well put it this way I'm not gonna advise someone to possibly brick there unit lol
