PetrolDave Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 With acknowledgement to Dirk on Navplus and to the Ross Tech wiki page Here's how to change the startup screen on your RNS-E to match your car - It appears to work only with SW 0500 or later (nice to have the RS4 startup screen now!). The value in Adaptation Channel 018 controls the Startup Screen: 0 = Standard Start Screen 1 = Audi S3 Start Screen 2 = Audi S4 Start Screen 3 = Audi RS4 Start Screen 4 = Audi TT Start Screen Please note that after changing the startup screen you will need to reboot the RNS-E (save a value of 1 in Adaptation Channel 111 or hold RADIO and SETUP until it reboots).

Daz Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Nice one, wonder why they never activated the RS4 screen in the RS4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I have a CD with the SW 0500 upgrade and VAG-COM - if you can get to (or near) Southampton I can upgrade your SW to 0500 (if necessary) and give you the correct startup screen for your car. PM me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasher Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Next question ...are the start-up images held in flash-able memory on the RNS-E? If so, anyone any ideas how i'd go about 'hacking' in an S8 logo onto mine? I have VAG-COM but presume its not going to be the tool to hack the image with.

PetrolDave Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Nobody has said for sure where the startup images are stored, but some investigations by the guys on www.navplus.us is suggesting that they are in the loading.kwi file.

Tizzy Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Very interesting - I saw this on the S6 when I test drove it and thought that it was quite cool. Will have to attend a meet next year and collar some kind soul with a VAG-COM!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm happy to do this for people, I'll make sure I take my VAG-COM and upgrade disc around with me I'll be at Windsor on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S6Jonno Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Thanks for all the info guys. Are there VAG codes for any screens for the A6 models? (awaiting 2007 DVD with SW550 so I can play with all the new settings & trying to convince the BOSS we should drive to forthcoming holiday in Spain rather than fly & hire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Are you sure you need the 2007 DVD for your S6? how old is it? According to the MMI info I have to change teh startup screen is an option on the screen controller module, but as yet I've not managed to enable it. On mine I've tried setting it for S8, but it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S6Jonno Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks Craig, The car is May 2003 but unsure how old the RNS-E is. Admitedly not tried any VAG codes for startup yet but TMC has had a line through it since fitting 2 months ago. I had assumed RNS-E was the same for all models (except fascia size/shape) I have S/W 160 and have not upgraded SW as doubt it would work with the old 2004 DVD. I have also delayed buying update on e-bay to wait Tom Peterkin's promises from Audi themselves so I guess my question is a little premature. Will try start-up screen codes & see what comes up.

PetrolDave Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 There's no A6/S6/RS6 startup screens in SW0500. Haven't had chance to look in SW0550 yet, but I don't think they will be there. Here's what we know so far: 0 = standard 1 = S3 2 = S4 3 = RS4 4 = TT 5 = R8 That's with EU SW 0500. With US SW 0150 the options are more limited: 0= standard 4 = TT 5 = R8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just one other point, under 0550 software you can only change the start up screen based on the model of your RNS-E coding. Coded 02xxxxx for A3 0 = standard 1 = S3 Coded 03xxxxx for A4 0 = standard 2 = S4 3 = RS4 I tried other codings for A6 etc, no joy, just standard. So if you have a 2002/3 S3 with an A4 RNS-E retrofitted, then you will NOT be able to use the S3 coding unless you change the unit to think it is in an A3, then it will not work correctly in the car.

timtuonos4 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 dave done the start up screen on my s4,but noticed while looking around an rs4 the other day,that the rs4 logo came up on the dis as soon as you opened the door,do you know if this can be done on s4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 No the RS4 has a different DIS, which shows oil temp and when the S button is pressed. The S4 uses the standard A4 DIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
