First part of installing the Atoto 7" S8 Gen 2 into my Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. Here I go over the wiring of the main unit including where to find the wires in the Gallardo specifically, and more generally how to replace an RNS-E radio from Audi with an aftermarket unit. This will be similar for all Audi Cars from the early 2000's to mid 2010's equipped with the RNS-E radio.
