Is it worth upgrading to Symphony II for the 6cd system or stick with the concert & get Ipod connector? I have got Bose to go with it

 

[Matt]

The ipod connection isn't very good. Very limited. Doesn't display track names for example.

I would save your cash!

Ive got the Symphony II + with the in built 6cd changer and it's great, and with the II+ you can play MP3's!

If you have any plans to retro fit the RNSe in future then save your money on the SymphonyII+

PLUS - the music quality through the iPOD is weaker - I'd get the Symphony II+ if you're not upgrading to RNS-e.

[Dave1000]

Did wonder if the sound would be weaker through the Ipod....is the tyre pressure warning anygood?

[Kontraband]

I havent found the sound to be weaker thru the ipod connection ONCE I installed the RNS-E. Infact since installing that everything sounds better.

 

[Dave1000]

I wont be having RNS-E too expensive so will be sticking with the Symphony II can I also ask is the electronic lumbar support waste of money?

 

[Kontraband]

yeah, thats what I said too...

then I saw it and had to retro fit it, done for a fraction of the dealer price as many others have done on audi-sport.

 

[Dave1000]

How much to retro fit then? & where do you get one from?

Is the Symphony II+ a different shape to the Concert HU?
How would the RNS-E fit better than if you had the Concert?

 

[phantom]

What i mean is IF you plan to retro fit the RNS-e don't spen the money on the Symphony II+ as you will be taking it out.

Ok, I might sound daft, but, is the RNS-e the DVD sat-nav?

 

[jamiekip]

Sure is mate. Over £2000 from the dealer nearly a quarter of the price to fit after!

 

[JustCharlie]

Nice 1, the car I just bought has it, do they come with upgraded speakers or do you need to spec bose

 

[jamiekip]

Need to spec BOSE

 

[JustCharlie]

So if BOSE wasn't specced, the sat-nav will come with standard speakers

 

[jamiekip]

Sure will mate - so what has yours come with?

 

[JustCharlie]

looks like it will be standard speakers, I've not actually seen the car yet, and I'm sure the dealer didn't mention BOSE, might be wrong though I was gettin a bit giddy by then

 

[jamiekip]

I'd be surprised if someone optioned the sat nav.... without the bose. If you're spending £2k putting the head unit in, what's another £440 for the speakers.....
When are you picking it up?

 

[JustCharlie]

Thats what I was thinking, Bin told I'll have it before the end of the month, we'll have to see what it comes with

 

[Kontraband]

they really do take you to the cleaners dont they... £2k for the dvd nav, another £400 for Bose.

£2.5k as an aftermarket kit would be cracking. 60% less to retro fit it too probs.

 

[Metalex]

Sure is mate. Over £2000 from the dealer nearly a quarter of the price to fit after!

RNS-E is now £1650 I think.

 

[jamiekip]

RNS-E is now £1650 I think.

OK - 3rd of the price then!
