Dusty Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 After a bit of advice really..... I'm thinking about changing my Concert radio for a symphony unit. It's going in an A4 B6 (2004). I know I'll have to move my climate controls down, but can anyone tell me what else may be involved or what I need please. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 A double din cage conversion from vagparts.com for around £50. Why not go DVD sat nav rather than just symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Just me being a cheap skate at the mo... I can get a brand new Symphony unit for about £50... so I'll maybe consider the sat nav at a later date. Have you fitted one yourself then... is it straight forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 It's quite involved, but not too difficult, you have to remove quite a lot of the dash/center console. There is a guide supplied with the cage I think, but I know there is also an online one. But I cant remember where at the moment. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Read into it a bit more...... the chopping and changing of bits seems straightforward enough. The biggest obstacle seems to be dropping the air con controls down as the fascia narrows (hence it will need "trimming". Has anyone done this? and can any of you nice Symphony owners, tell me how wide the air con unit controls are at the top and bottom? at least I can get an idea of how much work I may be letting myself in for!!

vanduara37 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The a/c unit can be trimmed using a junior hacksaw & file as long as you are careful,it is approx 3mm off each side John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have access to a workshop, so I was maybe going to scribe the new line, and get it onto a bench sander. Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
