Default GPS navi question in my 2000 a6

i just bought a 2000 a6 with gps navigation, but i've got absolutely no clue how to work the gps. unfortunatley i don't have the instruction manual for it, so does anyone know where to get one from? also, is it possible to enter a specific street address, or do you only get to select major stuff like airports and such for the gps to guide you to? just curious because i'm having a heck of a time figuring it out.
thanks in advance,
mike

i'm not entirely sure what you mean by a 5" moving screen because the only thing that mine has is just text that pops up in the lcd panel between the gauges. i'm pretty sure that it's just text only because i have the audi symphony headunit where the other gps screens would normally go. if this is the same thing though, i'd love for you to email me the manual mustang196718@gmail.com is my email address.
thanks,
mike

Oh, you got the nasty US only one. Yes, you can type in the specific address, & search for POI's (points of interest)
The bad part is your maps are old, believe the last year was 2004.

The dealer should be able to get you a manual. I just got one for my RNS-E (DVD based, direct fit on the 00 A6) from Audi for $6

IMHO, save up & purchase a RNS-E, or even pick up a RNS-D, the D is still CD based, but it has the map screen.
So...
Manual $6 @ dealer
latest CD based maps $129 for all of the US, 12 cd's I believe.
RNS-D $500 on ebay, direct fit, plug & play
RNS-E $1000-1500 on eBay, direct fit, and a little recoding to fit, DVD based, one disk for all of NA, & it has a bigger screen, new 2007 DVD, & 2 Compact flash card slots for Mp3's

2k S4, you are my hero. that's exactly what i needed to hear. i just bought the car and have a little money left over, so i'll probably just grab one of the RNS-Ds off of ebay if they're only going for $500. one more question though, will i still be able to use my stock cd changer with the RNS-D?
thanks,
mike

Yup, cd changer will work fine with any of them. The downside to the RNS-D is the Cd player in the unit is ONLY for the NAV cd, it doesn't work for anything else.

Default HELP!! In Spain with 2000 Audi A6 Avant and German manuals

Hi
I really need some help. I have just bought an old, 2000 audi in very good condition but it was originally from Germany which means the manuals are in german which I dont understand.
I cant work out how to use the navigation system and have bought a new CD for it but the slot above the system wont accept the CD I just cant get it in, and I cant get anything out of it, if in fact there is anything in there anyway.
Can anyone help me please? I went to an audi garage but they want 50 euros before they will even speak to you let alone offer you help!
Thanks
Sarah
