How much work to fit audi Navigation? Check pic.

Hi,
My Car is an audi A4 1.8T 1999. It has a concert radio installed on it with tape deck also 6 cd changer in boot.
What I would like to know is exactly how much work would have to be done and what parts would be needed. Would I need to change the whole dash or not. And would it be really expensive to do this?
Any help appreciated.

The Front dash looks like this

Does that mean no one in here knows?

You will need a new radio cage, climate control, interface adaptor with CAN simulator, RNS-E (not worth the hassle IMO fitting a CD based version), Map disk, GPS aerial, Fakra adaptor and probably a new ash tray.

It depends on your experience but it took me about a day to fit mign. As for cost it depends on what you do with the climate control. I could trim mign down to fit.

It cost me about £700 to do mign, which my girlfriend said was a waste of money until she borrowed the car yesterday and used the navi. I don't want the hassle of removing a portable device all the time. Remeber thieves look for the suction marks on the front screen.

Thanks for all the tips Steve.
It sounds like a lot of work and a lot of replacement parts eg. the radio cage etc.
As cool as it would look and not mention useful I dont think I could manage to do all that work myself.
I only just got the car a week now and already want to mod it lol.

As far as I can tell all I need are these items.

* 1x Double DIN 8E0 858 005 F
* 1x RNS-E Adapter
* 1x FAKRA Radioadapter
* 1x FAKRA GPS Antenne
I am not sure if this is the right double din code for a 1999 a4 though?
