RSNav - Advanced Cockpit for your Audi®

RSNAV Audi C7 virtual cockpit development update.

Major Breakthrough(apart from what we achieved so far):

Onboard VCDS, ODIS-E, and OBDeleven-Level Diagnostics

We’re not talking about bare DTC codes without descriptions or watered-down generic OBD warnings. You’re getting true VAG-specific, VCDS-level diagnostic capabilities right on board. For instance, if your driver-side left air vent temperature sensor fails, diagnostic mode will pinpoint it directly—to say nothing of deep diagnostics across all critical systems. The DTC clearing feature is fully developed and tested, but we’ve decided to leave it out for driver safety.

OEM warning messages pop up in any screen mode - not some of them, but all of them in Audi system

Thanks to our latest AI-based text recognition design, OEM notifications and warnings (like “Lights On”, “ESP fault”, or “Steering malfunction: Do not drive”) pop up smoothly across any screen mode. Even better, it fully mirrors every native Audi-supported language. If your Audi is set to German, warnings appear in German. Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian… you name it. It renders identically to the OEM Audi instrument cluster—so you’ll see the exact same warning pop up even while running CarPlay or Android Auto.

THE BAD NEWS

“And now, there are no CPUs left either.”

Between the recent AI boom and severe supply squeezes, finding quality RAM and storage has become a nightmare even for giants like Apple. To make matters worse, automotive-grade CPUs are now hit just as hard.

For our prototypes, we relied on NXP’s (formerly Philips) high-end automotive MPUs. However, NXP recently informed customers that stock is completely dry until 2027, as foundries prioritize high-margin AI silicon. Beyond prices doubling, the exact CPU we built this around is simply unavailable.

We’re actively exploring alternative solutions, but this inevitably pushes back our development timeline. As a result, the realistic release window for the RSNAV Virtual Cockpit for C7 is now projected for 2027.

RSNAV S5 PRO/ULTIMATE MCU UPDATE: Shutdown Issue Fix

*This fix is only applicable to 1920x720 wide screen versions

We have identified and resolved an issue where the head unit occasionally fails to shut down. This situation primarily occurs when you lock the vehicle, open the door, and then close and lock the door again without turning on the ACC ignition.

To address this, we have released a new MCU update. Please check your current MCU version in the system settings (as shown in the reference images) and download the correct update file for your screen type:

For KS04 Screens (If your current MCU version starts with '99'):

As of May, 2026

Android Motherboard in stock
- B9,C7 10.25", 12.3": less than 40
- B8 10,25", 12.3" : less than 70

*Other models: please make an inquiry to rsnav01@163.com for availability

After the remaining stocks get depleted, price increase of minimum 100$ USD expected due to memory shortage on AI Boom. There is unprecedented spikes in memory prices—rising nearly 95% in early 2026 alone, and over 300% since 2025.

S5 won't be discontinued for few more years(except the 9" version which will be discontinued once the current motherboard stocks get depleted).

Standard version is not affected by this shortage.
