zeus Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hello All, New to the Forum. I have a Audi A4 Avant B5 18T Quattro Sport V reg, sep 1999. I am in process of upgrading my single din concert stereo to a double din symphony. I have bought the symphony and also the stand alone climate to go underneath. Both of these are 8D0. I am having trouble locating a double din cage at the minute but i would just love someone to confirm to me that i just need the double din cage as some where i read that i will have to change my ashtray aswell. Has anyone ever done this swap? If i had of known that this upgrade was going to cost me so much money and hasle for parts, then i would not of bothered but i am half way there now so i may aswell carry on. Your help is much appreciated. Zeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 If it's of any help, VAG Parts list the double DIN cage for £156.99 + VAT (in the SatNav parts section). Saves you £50, if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizze Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Also consider the Becker units, they look completely stock, have a good ipod interface, bluetooth and can give you nav as well on some models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
