Big day for me as I have decided to 'hack' the offending unit to fit

I have a diffent model to 'Knight-tts' and has unusal design which won't fit directly into tt radio cage. I have the silver one the black one might fit without modifying but it had less hardware, I got greedy and will now have to resolve. :?

My unit is the same as the one at the top here in TTSdsgomg’s post. In my opinion it would have been absolutely impossible to fit without the clips breaking. Do you know of any modifications I would have needed to do? My car was fitted with the RNS-E unit with the bose system.

Have you got a Dremel that you can use, good luck with the hacking

 

Is the fact you no longer have the airbag light on show not an MOT failure?

 

Progress home power up and setting up apps etc

yikes is this true [smiley=book2.gif]

2.6 Seatbelts

The vehicle will be inspected to check that:

the mandatory seatbelts are in place
they are suitable for the vehicle
they are in a good condition
they work properly
they are attached securely

The malfunction indicator lamps (MILs) or dashboard warning lights will be checked for the:

air bags
seatbelt pretensioners (which remove the slack from a seatbelt in the event of a collision)
seatbelt load limiters (which release a small amount of belt when it's too tight)

7.1.5. Airbags

This inspection is for all airbags fitted as original equipment other than on Class 3 vehicles.

A passenger airbag that is switched off is not a defect.
Defect Category
(a) An airbag fitted as original equipment obviously missing Major
(b) Not in use
(c) An airbag obviously inoperative Major

Surely his means of checking it is inoperative is the airbag light, if he can't see it he can't check it, therefore he cannot assume it is servicable, would it not fail? Mind you is it the passenger one?

 

Its a good point 'Taylortony' the airbag light still works its just tucked behind the radio, so moving it to be visible shouldn't be a big problem.

 

Its getting messy, but progress being made.

 

Maybe into the ashtray if not in use?

thats a possibility, once all other stuff back together will give some thought

 

Okay main unit in place temporarily just to test hacking was successful and it fits. :?
Made temp screen protector from old ipad one whilst fiddling about with fitting.

 

Progress home power up and setting up apps etc

looks good, hows your fitting going ?

Looking nice mate nice progress today

 

early start for me, needed to get wires, usb sockets etc into glove box so little bit more damage needed
My unit seems to have 2 sim sockets one onboard and one in the black dongle.

 

But surely there is a hole above that for the MMI lead, could you not have used that?

Easy to tidy with a rubber grommet and more direct route, also I'm keeping all oem stuff in place in case rns-e goes back in. Thats why I hacked the android and not my dash

 

'Knight-tts' hope you don't mind if I continue to post on 'Hadaak' thread, but will update here too.

 

Ok so now got obd eleven pro installed least now there's no stealing the mrs phone so I can go code and fault find whenever I want 8)
