You would need RNS manager and the appropriate cable to connect to the rear of the HU.

Only people I know of with it are vRStu and Eddie_NL.

Might be worth PM'ing one of those two. I know Stu is away at the moment though and won't be back till the weekend.

I have done the change just to see if it does work :happy2: you can get the start up screen on then once the firmware is put on it works fine BUT unless you go to the extent of changing all the little SMD lighting in the front panel for the all the buttons then it will still be red not green.

Nezquick, if you decide against getting the Columbus for any reason, I am after one, and a point in the right direction would be nice!

as above, needs fw changing with RNS manager and the SMD leds will need swapping out.

i can do the led swap for you but rns manager is something in dont have. best bet is to swap them
