RNS-E with SW version : X

[Marius87]

Hey guys and girls.

Retrofitted a RNS-E and looks great compared too the concert 1din.

BUT: When i press the car button it says SW : X.

Looks strange too me, the code card looks genuine from Audi.

Is it pin hacked? hence the SW:X ?


(Excuse the grammar, native language is norwegian)

Someone has probably loaded SDS software onto it.

 

[Marius87]

What is sds sw?

 

[ch1z64]

If you do an Autoscan on your car it should tell you the software in your rnse uf it hadn't been hacked.
Sds (
speach dialogue system) )

 

[Marius87]

So probabably its been hacked.

Anyone know what will happen if i upgrade the software?
Will it require a new code?
Got it with a codecard thats looks genuine

 

[ch1z64]

Can you not down grade SW first see if it allows that if so reset unit and see if the older SW is there if do do t upgrade.
That way u will see if it will allow you to grade down / up

 

[Marius87]

Yes, but any idea of what will happen to the 4 digit code? Will it go back to factorycode? If so the unit is worthless.

There is no FM anymore in Norway, so they go for free. If its without code, i can throw IT in the bin. Retrofitted it because i want the original look

 

[ch1z64]

Tbh thats not something i would know as i have a genuine 4 digit code, the only thing i coild think off was to hook it upto another model and when it asks for code put your one in and see if it accepts it . Then reinstall back into your car

 

[Marius87]

Not sure if that would make any difference, but thanks anyway

 

[ch1z64]

I guess just grab bull by horns and try , the new SW is 220

 

[Marius87]

Anyone have any pointers here?

Just a word of warning mate...I bought a secondhand MK2 RNS-E with a code and it didn't need the code put in when I first fitted it but when I downgraded the software to code for my car the unit codelocked...

If you are worried it might be worth getting a company to get the 4 digit pincode from the 'AUZ' number on your unit.I used these people...

They were very helpful and the code they gave me was different to the one I received with my unit which told me something was wrong.I couldn't get the unit to accept either 4 digit code.

Luckily I found a place to unlock it for £90 that was in the UK.They told me mine had been hacked before.
