craigyb Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Jim what model is your A4, a B5 or B6? If it is B6 then dash conversion is simple. RNS-E also fairly easy to do on a B6 chassis, but I'm guessing as you have a chorus your car may be a B5 chassis. Craig [ QUOTE ] Hi there !!!!!! I'm new to this site and have been reading your useful info. Can you help me at all??? I have an A4 TDi 130SE 2001 Currently there's a chorus cassete head unit and a 6 disk changer in the glove box. I'd like to keep the changer and retro fit satnav. Where do I start? Will the RNS-E navplus fit with a new double din? I've tried to find tips on fitting instructions on various sites but no joy as yet!!! Look forward toyour reply.... JIM [/ QUOTE ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the last SE B5 A4's came with Symphony I head units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyjim Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm Back.... I've found out it's a B6. Manuf. date sept 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyjim Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Craig, don't you just need a double din cage to replace the single and then modify the climate panel to suit? The wiring side of it doesn't bother me (I work for Jaguar/Landrover in electrical - easy!!!!:-) I've seen RNS-E units for £600 ish on German web sites. Not bad I thought! I've only got the standard Audi audio, not Bose. It sounds quite good tho. Will I improve the sound a SatNav unit or will it remain the same?

craigyb Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 You can just do the cage, but you will have a gap between your ashtray and climate control. The gap is large enough to lose things behind, like keys, slim wallets, credit cards etc. Most annoying as its a removal of teh console to retrieve them. For the sake of £80 and a bit more work its worth swapping the ashtray and cover as well. I always swap them for my customers. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
