Id love the sat nav in my a4 and easier for me to put music on a card,and keep it looking OEM.

But ive read that the satnav cant be fitted in a a4 with concert stereo,the post i read is a bit dated so wandered if anyone had been sucessful?

I have no cd changer,just the concert with sub non bose.

cheers
 
is it a single din? you can do the double din conversion and fit the rnse.
 
Yes i have the single din. ive read on the retrofit page that single din concert,the rns-e cant be fitted due to the cd changer not being present. im pretty sure thats what i read...

Can I plug and play retrofit the RNS-E in my car?

Yes, if you currently have a Symphony II head unit (with build-in 6 CD changer) which is usually the case in an A3/8P or A4/8E with Premium Sound package (North America only, Europe does not get any radio unless explicit ordered). Maybe, if you have an A6/C5 or Allroad (facelift models only) because this will require getting the speed signal from behind the instrument cluster. If you don't feel comfortable removing the instrument cluster or have someone do it for you it's a No, otherwise Yes. Maybe also if you have an A4 B6 with the older Navigation Plus RNS-D (CD based). In this case the upgrade requires to bridge some wires on the TMC unit which is somehwere well hidden in your car. No, if you have the Concert II head unit or any of the older OEM head units (including Symphony I, any of the single DIN head units or no head unit at all).
 
you can fit a rnse without the changer, you'll need an adpater harness to convert your iso to quadlock.
 
Ok,so what ive copied and pasted is incorrect infomation?

In that link is that the harness i need...im even more confused now.is there a guide? will it be plug n play?

sorry for all the q's but from what ive read to what youve said is totally different,not saying your wrong ,youve given me hope :)
 
Is this it
Stereo

With this and the stereo im good to go just plug n play? obviously swop the single out for a doouble.
 
I have done.and a well know resource tells me i cant,i did highlight that above. that link i have,and is the reason to my post,some info saying i can some saying i cant...someone with not much knowledge on this is surely to be confused.
 
Could someone tell me the part number i need for the rns-e the ones im seeing all have different letters on the end.
what do they mean?
