For the admin.

Could you please change the title with:

OEM AUDI RNS-E SUCCESFULLY INSTALLED on Seat Leon 1M / Golf MK4 with golf 4 FULL FIS tacho/cluster FULLY WORKING!!!

I think it better summarizes the topic.
Thanks..

Thank you for keep this thread alive.

My friend has seen a possible interface module, very similar yours. Need to do more research before sharing.

Do you know if the interface you're using was modified by the original owner?

Thanks for the posting the extra info
You're welcome, i'd love to see someone else to get this mod fully working..:cool:

The main problem is the special interface.:(

This week i'd be able to get in contact with the friend who sold me the whole set, and i hope to get good news.:confused:

Otherwise, feel free to ask everything you want, i'll be happy to help you if i could.;)

Then if someone want to try to contact some kufatec technician and invite him on this thread...:rolleyes:

I'd be very very happy, maybe we could increase the changes to find some other sample of this special interface..:)

No problem.;)

After years of searching, i want to give help everyone interested in this mod, just like i've received help from other users before.:)

I think so, if you notice in this pic, in the very upper part, it seems like someone changes 2 circuits with a little welding..:confused: but unfortunately i'm not an expert in this field..:(



of course if you get some news please let me know!!;)

The modification on the circuit board may have been done by the original manufacturer, so it might not be anything to worry about.

Oh really??

very good info..:)

so maybe we've only to find out where the 3 wires (clock data enable) come from, and the software that's used in this interface..:confused:

thinking a loud

when the audi a4/ a6 owners upgrade from a RNS-D (similar to MFD in mkiv golf) they use the tmc can gateway for the RNS-E to talk to the cluster etc. Does anyone know if the CAN gateway version of MFD G version has the same firmware as the Audi tmc can gateway?

read the audi b5 install of the RNS-E, looks like the tmc unit is a red herring

ignore that idea. Looks like the way to go is using a can emulator like M206, is the way to go.

currently in talks with a german company regarding the can emulator

yes, i think so too..:rolleyes:

here you are something maybe useful:

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Audi_Radio/Navigation_System_(RNS-E)#Coding

same discussion in german and english language:

http://www.passat3b.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=47104

http://www.passatworld.com/forums/60-mobile-electronics/219400-audi-rns-e-b5-5-pics-inside.html

the strange thing is that it seems that this first kind of can-bus emulator showed only the upper third part of the fis..:confused:

to find it they talk about a TT Forum but with no links..:(

who knows..:confused:

someone could contact kufatek??:confused:

it'd be really interesting try to connect directly the 2 can wires (can h and can l) from the rns-e to the full fis green connector..without cross the interface..

and see if the info on the fis are displayed or not..:confused:

here you are the mail I sent to kufatec:

Hello, i've a seat leon 1m 1.9 tdi 150 hp ARL year 2005.
My car is can bus and immo3.
I've installed succesfully a full fis tacho from golf 4 1j5 920 846 c and
everything works.
Last year i've been able to install an used audi RNS-E.
The seller sold me also a special interface (can bus simultaor)to get all the
rns-e info on the golf 4 fis. (mp3, navi arrows, phone numbers ecc)
Everything works perfectly.
I'd like to know if you can reproduce this special interface cause it was
home-made modified by the seller to obtain the 3lb wire connection to get the info on the fis.
Several friend of mine would be interested in this mod.
If you need i can send you some pics of the interface itself.
Or i can show you some links with the discussion i created on online forums:
http://audiforum.us/threads/rns-e-on-seat-leon-fr-1m-with-golf-4-full-fis-tacho.5607/page-2

please let me know if this is a interface based on one of your models or not, and if you can help me.

many thanks.

Best regards.

Matteo

here you are the reply:

Dear Matteo,

Thank you for your request.

We're sorry but we cannot help you. This is not an interface of us.

still no news from my friend..:(:(

but maybe a good news to retrofit the rns-510 in a golf 4 with fully FIS integration..:):)

still to be confirmed:

http://www.canshack.de/default/volk...ion-arrows-pfeile-in-mfa-mfd-fis-cluster.html

it's compatible with touareg, t5, and polo 9n3, all with can bus 1.6.

since polo 9n3 is very similar to latest golf 4, i think there could be some real chances to get it work on golf 4 fis too..;);)

I'm interested. But I think you need a MKIV 2002 or newer with quadlock connector for the canshack product to work?

I sent an email asking but still no answer. did you see my RNS2 retrofit?

uhm, i don't know, before installing rns-e in my leon, i started with these 2 connectors (no quadlock):



the quadlock adaptor was included..so i think it's not a limitation to have the 2 standard connectors..

be patient, Stefan will reply to you as soon as possible, he replied to me a lot of time in these weeks.

Yes i saw your rns2 upgrade, great mod many compliments..
It's only lacks are the mp3 and the bluetooth phone i think.
Otherwise it was my first choice before getting the audi rns-e!! ;)

Man! I wish I had YOUR dash. It's looks VERY wide :) It would be great if the canshack product could work with the standard ISO connectors. I just don't know what Navi I could adapt to my car 2000 Jetta sedan.

The RNS2 went into a 2004 MKIV.

I do have the GROM bluetooth and Iphone adapter(which I use for music) I am considering it for the RNS2 because it sounds better than the AUX input plug.

yes it's wider than a golf4..:eek:

i don't know if they need the quadlock anyway, but i think you could buy an adaptor, it's easy to find i think.

i don't know for a 2000 car (depends if you have can bus or not), anyway, the canshack interface will work using pin 8-9 of the green cluster (i know only immo3 for now) just like rns2.. ;)

in your 2000 jetta sedan what kind of cluster do you have?? so you can try to understand what kind of navi you could add..:)

My 2000 Jetta has the Bora sport cluster with FIS. But uses 3LB to communicate with the MFD1.

I do not have the additional can bus for the radio like the 2004:(

1j5 920 946C is the cluster.
the same I have..i have only 846 instead of 946 you retrofitted it right??:):)

so i think that with pin 8 and 9 green cluster you could install the rns2..

you could try and see if the info on fis appear like on the 2004 golf..:confused::confused:

Has this been tried and confirmed in any combination(navi to cluster) to work?

yes of course.

2 years ago i went to a friend of mine to make a test, he has a rns2, i had only the 2 connector as the picture above, he connected with his adaptor from the 2 connector into quadlock, we connected it and the 2 wirings from the rns2 to pin 8 and 9 green connector of my tacho, and everything worked fine. here you are 2 pics:





there are little difference in display compared to my actual rns-e, in particular in the upper part of the fis, where the info on the 2 lines are inverted. ;)
