RNS-E MK2 - Engineering Mode

[Cruiser89]

Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone can help.

Im trying to access the engineering mode of my MK2 RNSe so that I can get some hi-res screenshots for a little project Im doing (all will be revealed soon).

I can get into on my old MK1 RNSe by hitting NAV > Hold top left above knob for 5 sec > Let Go > Hold Top Right for 5 Sec. Problem is, the screen resolution on this is pants.

Anybody successfully done it on the MK2?

For anybody interested it looks like this:

Thanks,

Tim

mmm what does this engineering mode let you do then ?

 

[Cruiser89]

Hey guys,

Here is what Engineering mode on the RNSe is all about!

Recorded it in HD so you can see it all clearly. Just click the little cog on the bottom of the video to change the resolution to HD. YouTube standard play quality can be pants sometimes.

bye bye gala

So would this solve the audiopilot issue with Bose ?

 

[PH1L]

ill give it a try on the way home

Tried this with my factory fitted Mk1 and under the coding menu i'm showing Vin as DUMMY then a sequence of numbers.

Anyone know why? Worried now as the original rns-e manual has been lost and I haven't got the code should I ever need to disconnect the battery or remove the rns-e unit.

According the the equipment stick the car was fitted with it from the factory, just wondering if it has had a replacement someone along the line or something more sinister.

Still have the serial number etc so Audi show be able to provide me with the code I believe?

you can always get the code audi can pull it just ask them

as for gala it and this hiss is now gone

Glad it helped. What did you change your settings to?

hi Phil, does this help resolve the volume issues with the RSNe? that goes with gala/audiopilot..

 

[PH1L]

yeah at least it did for me

 

[rOb_A]

therefore you don't needs vcds to get into this screen?

 

[lgooch]

Bloblob2 I have found an Audi technical bulletin which shows you how to disable Audiopilot. PM me your email. I am afraid it means cutting wires at the Bose Amp SOB !

 

[Cruiser89]

therefore you don't needs vcds to get into this screen?

Nope. Just follow what I did in the video and you can get in

 

[rOb_A]

did you switch the gala off? (i know i need to look at the clip again)

pm sent lad

I was always under the beliefe that switching off gala bose audiopilot was much easier on a retrofitted RNS-E as opposed to factory fitted.
Will have to give this a try on my factory fitted and report back.

 

[PH1L]

I'm factory fitted

bye bye gala

Hi mate,

I have just been into this, what did you change to remove the hiss?

Cheers,
Si

 

[PH1L]

i turned the volume boost and the compensation things to off

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

Cheers mate, Will change them later on then!

Thanks very much!

Cheers,
Si

 

[PH1L]

hopefully it fixes it for you too then it certainly has improved it for me

 

[lgooch]

just had a fiddle with mine. The RNSe that is !!

There is definitely a menu which lets you turn various things off GALA etc. I have not gone for a spin yet to see if it has solved the Audiopilot issues.

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

The only options in the menu that I can change are the below... I haven't got a volume boost or compensation things that I can see in any menu. I have turned off "loudness change" will test it later on a drive.

Must be on newer version?

Cheers,
Si

 

[PH1L]

not entirely sure think my mk2 is an 09 manufacture, i turned off loudness and gala seems to be steady with no hiss, please dont let me notice it again

 

[lgooch]

Si

did you retrofit like me or was it factory ?

 

[lgooch]

Anyone know what any of these options actually do ?

 

[larsmate]

I turned GALA off. Only driven the car once since the change but if I'm not mistaken I think the Audiopilot is off. Halelelujah!!

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

Factory fit mate.....

yeah im weary too atm i think its off and i havent noticed it just paranoid haha

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

My Gala setting was already set to off, the only one I changed was the loudness to off! So I think mine will still do it as it was set to off before I looked and it done it before.....

Cheers,
Si

 

[PH1L]

try turning gala off and on and see maybe it was an error in the software last time

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

Will give it a go.... Cheers!!

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

Think I have made mine worse.... Cleaned the car today and sat on the drive engine off and had the music on and it kept going up and down like a yo yo with no noise at all. Weird.com

Cheers,
Si

i've not had a go at this yet but the volume issue is driving me nuts! is it not better to disable the Audipilot via the wire cutting method? I really like RSNe but is it really worth it when you have is problem
Surely this can be fixed/resolved NHN, have you any news on this?

Si is your RSNe a retro fit or did it come with the car?
