SatNav+ in urS6

So where/ how do you get the feed from the front 2 abs sensors???

The plug for the speaker's requires a bit more thought though as for some reason it is only powering the front speaker's (despite the same plug working all 4 on the old stereo).

I too have this problem

I have removed an aftermarket stereo and plugged in an original S2 Audi Gamma unit. The original car wiring is untouched, but only the front speakers work

Any ideas????

Just because the plug fits doesn't mean that the wiring is connected at the headunit end to drive the rear speakers on the ISO.

See here for wiring diagram

On OEM radios this is typically the case as the rear and front speakers are on seperate plugs not all on the same plug ala the ISO standard.


Oh and i'm back folks

Looks good corey, is it all looking nicely installed now?

Fluid Changes

Quattroboy, I thought you were selling that thing? or have I given it a new lease of life for you since the fluid change?

Uhmm, well...........err...................I always find that a fluid change (or transfer ) works wonders on your outlook in life including owning a slush-boxed S6

The HiD's are on order btw

If I hadn't had an issue today with a NDBW A3 1.8T then yes the installation would've been finished but it is not far off.

Bit of an update on this install.

Got most of the wiring sorted, just need to tap into the front ABS (left and right), she now sees that she is going forward at last (the speed signal was a pig to find).
The rear speakers are still not functioning as this head unit powers the fronts but the rears take a line out to a rear amp which then powers them.

Now we have started on the console to make it look OE.

Oh and we have full VAG Com dianostics working on it also

Great work Corey,

Am looking forward to the finished result

[Jamo]

Corey i'm impressed and i dont impress easily!

Ok just got home under the guidance of the SatNav, woot it works. I haven't connected the the ABS sensors at the moment, I think it uses these if the satelite count drops below a certain number.

By connecting the head unit to the k line feed for the diagnostics it allows VAGCom to communicate with the SatNav and the radio as if it was in the car it should be, I believe there are certain channels that can be adapted (yet to learn it all on this head unit) but it gives fault diag as per the norm.

Should hopefully have the console done tomorrow (pics to follow then) and just got to find somewhere for the mirror controls.

Got the console fitted and the CC head unt installed.

Everything I did with the panelling I wasn't happy with, I have a carbon panel hopefully on the way so I can do the whole fascia in one top to bottom but it's in and functioning perfectly (SatNav), my intention is to reomove the radio fascia and make the edges square to the top and bottom and remove the black panel from the CC unit and do the carbon panel.
VAGCom enabled so I was able to do a TMC delete as I haven't got the TMC control module (this function allows you to get around traffic congestion).
The ABS sensors didn't need to be tapped into in the end, neither did the reverse wire as the GPS portion is accurate enough to know how,when and where.

On an ABY I would imagine the install would be pretty similar and it may even be possible to install this into other chassis, the plugs are easy to come by.

Just got to sort out an amplifier to enable the rear speaker's to function and everything is rosey

With an additional box, this head unit is a TV and can also play playstation's etc.

I am sure the car uses this to determine your likely approximate position if you enter and leave non coverage areas, eg inside a tunnel.... it means that your on screen directions are still approximately accurate when exiting the tunnel....
Nice job.....
I sold my RNS-E from my A6 last year, kind of wish I had plumbed it into my S2 now.,..........

I know that on an A-series car the Audi radio units can be set to play 2 or 4 speakers. Can this also be on this unit?

A collegue of mine had a similar unit in his ur-S4. I remember something about ABS-sensor sinus signals needing to be converted to block signal as the unit is from a newer car where the ABS-sensors apperently generate a blocksignal.

Yes it is possible to recode the unit but, you set it up via the adaption menu's in VAGCom.

The head unit can see 2 kinds of speed signal input, ABS or GALA.
