Default Wow, that would totally obviate the need for EFU. Never heard of that. Maybe it can display the V1

too? :-)

Default EFU is the only way. You will be assimilated . . .

Default i was contemplating doing this since i didnt do the tmc option when i did the navplus install...

for those that have done it, was it quick and painless or is it a thing to have done by a pro?

Default I don't know if this is what you were referring to, but the HKS CAMP system

would display that information using an Aux input to the RNS-E...<ul><li><a href="http://www.hksusa.com/categories/?id=1995">http://www.hksusa.com/categories/?id=1995</a</li></ul>

Default Can't do it to the best of my knowledge. Likely someone fed a PC into the Nav display with a Dietz

adapter and had the VAG installed on the PC with a direct connection to the diag port.

Default take 1.5-2 hours by a pro

and a bit longer if you have not done it before.

you need to tap the line for boost, switch over oil drain plug, and pop the radio and put in the bridge adapter.. follow by of course take over one of the button of your trip computer

if you don't have tmc it will be perfect.

i did mine with tmc, so i have to wait for CAN too
