Then you'll have to change the antenna cables , and modify the wiring loom from head unit to screen and from head unit to aux port in glovebox. If your RT3 system comes with a JBL amplifier, you'll have to modify its wiring too. And if you're going to do the upgrade better go for the RT5 as you'll get built in Bluetooth. For the USB box I never tried one so i can't comment on that. |

You'll have to change that cable and fit the RT4 one ( i have one for sale in case ), this cable will connect to the blue ( GPS ) and red ( GSM ) fakra conenctors at the back of the RT4. Then on your RT3, below the steering wheel you'll find the diversity box, you need to disconnect that, and connect extension cables to the white and grey FM cables. |

would the c5 have the extension cables for the 2 cables that go into the diversity box? or will i have to buy them if so what and where do i get them from. once this has been resolved i take it i connect the lvds cable remove the optical cables connect the quadlock connector and code the headunit to bsi. or is there more modifications to the screen cables? is there anything else i need to do as the tutorial given is from rd4 to rt3 which i already have, i am upgrading rt3 to rt4 then comes question of the jbl amplifier what needs to be done here? |

M3mpower just a quick question how much would you charge for an rt4 plus screen and cables inc gps/gsm and fm extension cables to do the upgrade as it would make job easier than dismantling another vehicle thats assumng you have all of the above or i buy the c5 for £650 ?? thanks simon |

VIN coding and configuration with original C6 files, 2015 Europe maps with speed camera alerts, help with the installation. Let me know if you are interested |

No problem for the USB port, i will activate it and enable the trip computer page too. Please send me an email to  with photos of your C6 dash ( RT3 front panel ) to match the colour of the RT4 front panel.Regarding those extension cables, they should be fine, although it is better to check with the seller if they are suitable for FM aerial cables. |
