Hi,
Hope somebody can offer some advice
I've got a Exeo 143 SE Tech with the RNS-E head unit with the Ipod connector in the glove box.
From what I've seen it looks the iPod adapter is basically useless (made more so by not having any iPhones or Ipods in my house) and just emulates a 6CD changer.
So i believe there was an option of having a 6disc CD changer in the glovebox where the adapter is. This would be far more useful as i've got a fair amount of CDs.
So my questions are:
1) How easy is this to retrofit?
2) While researching it i came across component protection - would this be an issue? From what I can tell this just limits features available to the car but since the RNS-E head unit already thinks it has a CD changer would it matter - Or is it somehow coded to the CD changer?
3) I've been looking for a second-hand unit from ebay but Seat ones seem to be rare. I can find lots of Skoda or Audi ones - Would these work? Audi part number is 8E 0035111, Skoda one is 1Z 0035111A
I've seen a couple that a cheap enough that I may just take a punt, however if there is a risk of bricking the head-unit or having to fork out for a dealer to disable component protection I may just stick with the Aux and SD cards.
Thanks,
