Replacing standard head unit with an aftermarket one question

[AR-CoolC]

Hi All

I have a quick question I'm sure you will be able to answer.

I have a new A3 arriving in the new year, and have had thoughts of replacing the standard concert CD player with an aftermarket double DIN Sat Nav unit.

All I want to know is:

1, Will I need an adapter place for the facia? will a standard double DIN be a straight swap for the concert unit?

2, Will an aftermarket unit cause any problems system wise? i.e. will I need to get fault codes removed or systems re-programmed?

TIA

You wanna get the RNSE, its oem and completes the dash. Like here:

Thanks.

I've been doing a bit more digging this afternoon, and it looks like I'd be into a whole load of pain trying to fit an aftermarket one.

Anyone got good* links to suppliers of the RNSE OEM unit?

* not dealer prices

sorry for jumping in but do RNSE take a usb ?

No, but 2 SD card slots.

Type Audi A3 RNS-E into ebay, and there you go my son.
