Goulet!

I did a search but seems like my situation is unique... I installed a euro RNSE with US software. I can listen to the XM preview but when I go to the settings page to find out the serial number of my unit, it's blank. Will VAG tell me the serial number?

thanks in advance

There were two XM receivers, (part numbers were off by one letter) ones that can use RNS-e and ones that cant. Sounds like you may have one of the older XM units that was not intended for use with RNS-E Navigation.

Check out the navplus forum.

you will need a new XM box. i did the same thing when i first swapped to the RNS-E.

E box is the only XM receiver that will work with RNS-E Navigation.

The A box will only work with one station, and its the last station that box was tuned into before the swap.
