Hi all,
As with the MK4 & MK5 platform VW models, oem sat nav upgrades for the A3 8P are becoming increasingly popular due to the availabilty of units via ebay and the like and the large cost saving compared to speccing nav from the factory,
Audi nav units go by the 'RNS-E' name and have mostly the same features of the 'MFD2' units found in VW/Skoda and Seat cars albeit with the addition of a motorised screen panel which allows access to the navigation DVD and 2 SD card slots for MP3 media,
I've retro-fitted an RNS-E unit into my A3 and it's a fairly straightforward job, mostly being 'plug n play' with the exception of some Vag-Com coding changes to enable full functionality with my MFSW/Bose etc...
I found www.navplus.us to be a great resource for info, hopefully here will become just as good in time [Y]
