Default Not exactly.

The "original" Nav+ (now commonly referred to as RNS-D) was CD-based. It was available in 2 versions: Navi C and Navi D. The OEM US units with just the centre cluster display were also available in C & D.

The new DVD-based Nav+ (think it still says Navigation Plus on the faceplate) is called RNS-E, with different US and European versions.

Default All right, I have a MY 00 with Nav CD-Based bought a disc off ebay...

and it doesn't work. It's for the D-NAVI. Trying to figure out which version disc I need to buy, because I'm thinking I bought the wrong one.

Default More clarification...

The CD based NAV+ RNS-D is the in-dash unit that was never officially available in the USA.

The CD based trunk mounted nav unit is BNS.

Default You need a C-Navi disc.

The most recent version is dated Feb. 2004. I bought the whole set as soon as they came out for $319, but I think they're down to about $250 or $275 now.

It took them a few years to come out with it -- the version before that was 7/2001. I wouldn't bet that there will be any futures updates, but you never know.

D-Navi has different revision dates -- there were '02 and '05 versions.

So how hard is it to upgrade from BNS to the RNS-D, it's not plug and play is it?

No. May as well go with the RNS-E if you have 2000+ A6 or A4 (infotainment CANbus in cluster)
