About RSNAV

RSNAV is a specialized maker of Android-based GPS navigation head units engineered exclusively for Audi® vehicles. We design our own product line, run our own production cycles, and ship from Quebec, Canada — not as a reseller of generic mass-market units, but as one of the very few independent boutique manufacturers in this segment that has continued to evolve its own platform since 2017.

Our Story

RSNAV began in 2017 as a personal project by founder Daniel Daehyun KIM — a Quebec-based Audi owner who could not find a head unit that matched the fit, finish, and audio quality of an OEM Audi system. What started as a one-person engineering effort to produce a proper Android replacement for the B8 (8K, 8T, 8R) chassis grew into a steady, generation-over-generation product cycle:

2017 — S1. First-generation Android head unit, focused on B8 (A4/S4/A5/S5/Q5).
2018–2020 — S2. Expanded chassis coverage (8V, B9 Sedan/SUV, C7, PQ35), CANBUS integration, OEM steering-wheel and console-control support.
2020–2022 — S3. Android 10, Snapdragon platform, first true I²S digital audio circuit.
2022–2024 — S4. 1920×720 high-density display, hardware DSP, triple-mode Bluetooth, mature CarPlay/Android Auto integration.
2024–present — S5 Pro / Ultimate. Qualcomm Snapdragon 668, Android 13, Texas Instruments DAC and amplification, redesigned audio architecture, and an optional fully integrated 3D 360° bird's-eye camera system on S5 Ultimate.

Across nearly a decade, every generation has shipped with continued software updates, recovery support, and a community-driven feedback loop. We still respond to customers running legacy hardware from 2017–2018 today.

What Makes RSNAV Different

Independent and continuously evolving. RSNAV is not a generic Android tablet rebadged for the car. We are one of the few small-scale, independent boutique makers in the Audi aftermarket who design our own product, our own user interface, and our own service path — entirely outside of the mass commodity marketplaces. Our hardware is not available on AliExpress or generic Asian retail platforms; every unit is purpose-built and dispatched directly from our own production cycle.

Truly customized for Audi. Our head units are engineered around specific Audi chassis and MMI variants (Concert, Symphony, 3G Basic/High/Plus, MIB). Connectors, harnesses, mounting frames, and software profiles are all chassis-aware. You will not find a "one-size-fits-all" Audi unit from us — and that is by design.

Small-batch, made-on-demand. We do not pre-stock thousands of units. Every order is built to your specific car configuration and screen size, with the correct hardware revision and software profile. Lead times are longer than off-the-shelf products, but the result is a system that drops in cleanly, integrates with your factory MMI, and is supported through software updates years after purchase.

Our Current Lineup

Series	For
S5 Pro	The full next-generation Android experience: Snapdragon 668, Android 13, TI DAC audio, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, native CAN integration.
S5 Ultimate	Everything in S5 Pro, plus a fully integrated 3D 360° bird's-eye camera system with four AHD cameras.
S5 Standard	A leaner standalone CarPlay/Android Auto interface for customers who prefer a smartphone-mirrored experience without full Android.

Earlier generations (S1, S2, S3, S4, and standalone interfaces) are now discontinued. We continue to provide email support, recovery firmware, and component-level help for those legacy units to existing customers.

Engineering & Manufacturing

Our hardware is co-engineered and manufactured in partnership with a dedicated automotive electronics facility in Shenzhen, China — the same partner we have worked with since the S2 generation. Audio is built around Texas Instruments DAC and amplification ICs; the SoC platform is Qualcomm Snapdragon. Vehicle integration — CANBUS, OEM display compatibility, steering-wheel and console controls, and audio routing through the factory amplifier — is engineered in-house at RSNAV.

Final quality control, software customization, regional configuration, and customer-facing distribution are managed by RSNAV.com (operated by 9446-9830 Québec inc., Mirabel, Québec, Canada).
