Questions about upgrading from a RNS-D in an Audi A3 8L

Hello,

I want to upgrade from my Non-Bose RNS-D to a standard double-din aftermarket unit(I'm looking at some Pioneer units), but I can't find anywhere a 2-din fascia adapter plate for 8L A3. Does anyone know where could I find one for 8L A3? Is the fascia from a B6/7 A4 easily adaptable to fit the console from an A3?

Also, I've tested a single-din aftermarket Blaupunkt unit, but the tunner couldn't find any stations(the radio antena was connected). Any ideea why this happened?

The final question In case I go with a Pioneer unit what adapter do I need for connecting the rear speakers and subwoofer(all stock)? I believe I need a adapter from the Blaupunkt pre-out connector to RCA's...but I don't know how to search for it.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the quick answers!

I didn't knew the rear amp was that weak, so probably after I will upgrade the headunit I think it would be better if I wire the rear door speakers directly to the head unit and leave only the subwoofer on the rear amp-or just throw out the subwoofer.

Sorry for my english, I hope it's easily understandable

Have a good day!

Hi,

I have another question . My car has some sort of phone kit/cradle connector(looks stock) between the front seats, under the armrest. Was this part of some hands free system? If so, does it have a separate microphone somewhere? I want to know if I could use that microphone, if it exists, with the new unit(I'm thinking of buying a second hand Pioneer F900BT).

I was thinking of selling it(RNS-D unit+Xcarlink USB/SD adapter+ original user manual in german containing the security code + one original cd containing Germany coverage) on Ebay.de for around 300E but only after I have a new unit installed in my car. I hope I will have the new unit intalled in the next couple of weeks. I'm from Romania btw , but if you're still interested then you can make me an offer.
