    Retro Fitting of A3 RNS?

    Should be fine .. go to any Audi dealer and ask them to do it - they will be more than happy to do it. Wimbledon audi didnt do it themselves, they got someone to come in and do it. They are not going to do it for free .. but wont cost much

    Retro Fitting of A3 RNS?

    I got a 2007 S3 from Audi Wimbledon, they took delivery of the car and then retro fitted the RNS before I took delivery. To buy the unit this way and have it fitted cost me £800 instead of the 3k list price. Nice little saving. There is no difference between the retro fit and the factory fit...
