New toy.

The new DVD RNE Nav + is REALLY nice. Unlike the older DX Nav + systems, the drive for the Nav DVD also plays audio disks and MP3s. There are also two SD memory card slots (behind the motorized, flip-down screen) for MP3s. The signals are also there for the CD changer and video inputs, albeit with different connectors than the DX. I also notice that there is microphone inputs and outputs, which I believe is for voice recognition. The MMI interface is very intuitive. Good thing, because I didn't get any documentation with system.

I can't comment on the functionality of the navigation system yet, as I won't have the data DVD for another few days.

Very sweet....has anyone successfully installed one of these in a C5 A6?

Agreed I want one if it works out.

The new RS6s in Europe came with them. I don't see anything that would stop me from putting it in.
 

I think there was originally concern about the map data DVDs, but I believe that is not a problem anymore.

Sweet NAV unit Steve. Are you planning a C5 A6 install?. (more)
 

- Can we see a pic of the connectors on the back?
- Is there a sticker w/the schematic of the rear connectors attached to the top of the unit?
- Will the faceplate design fit the C5 A6? (doesn't look it), or will you have to custiomize?

You're breaking some ground here.....tell us more :)

Yes, I plan on installing it.
 

The connector on the back is totally different than the old Symphony radios or Nav + units. I got the connectors in Germany, but my guess is that they will be good US part numbers. I'll take a pic when I have a chance.

Yes, there is sticker with the pinout of the unit.

Yes, this unit is for a C5 A6. It is/was available on the '04 C5 A6 in Europe. The part number is 4B0 035 192 P.

Ooooo, Im in love....but why are the controls way over there, right-hand drive?!

Thanks Steve!. Good luck. We look forward to seeing the pics of the connectors/schematic

Great!!! Keep us posted...I want one!!!!!

Someone wake up TeddyBgame....He lives for this stuff
