    Paranoid about voltage

    Tells you what voltage the battery currently is, even if says 12v doesnt mean your battery is in good shape as the cold cramping amps could be ***** but gives you a bit of a heads up. Handy for checking if your alternator is healthy kicking 14v+ when car running

    Oil Level Warning on DIS

    Could it be the wiring to the sensor, does the warning stay on the DIS or come and go ? If the leval sensor triggers and you turn engine off and back on does the warning go away, if not does the warning go away if you open and close the bonnet (it assumes you have put more oil in)

    End of my teather!! Battery Drain

    Would you lose your settings every time you switched off ? I think RNSE doesnt make you put the code in if it loses power which it will everytime you switch off, but the radio presets, GPS and also radio settings might default to factory settings everytime you switch on ?

    That seems a bit drastic changing the rear screen, there are a couple of audio experts on these forums, try and start a thread in the audio section or try using the search button In reality the RNS-E needs the same amp as every other radio, one with HF. The ZF is just a bonus if you have the...

    Radio reception problems after RNS-E retrofit.

    Age of RNS-E will make no difference to your problem, they are all the same Some cars have 2x HF connectors in their antenna amps, the RNS-E uses 1x HF 1x ZF. Most people cope with just using the HF, the ZF doesn't make that much of a difference
