Hi guys,

Current owner of a 05 8P with the single din concert stereo. Ideally I'd love to be able to use Bluetooth to stream music and answer calls. I've had a look at converting to double din but it looks quite expensive and probably something I'd do when I'm happy to fork out for a oem style double din. I've also had a look at various kits that fit on to an existing head unit but I'm pretty sure they all need the car to have a CD changer which sadly mine doesn't posses. So now it looks like an after market single din might be the answer. Do you guys have any suggestions? Ideally I would love something that isn't a bright green plastic mess or has massive red buttons with "Super Bass" written all over them.

Also if I end up getting persuaded to go double din, do you guys have any suggestions on after market, oem looking units. Every time I find a nice one, there is always somebody in the comments having a rant about it being very slow or unresponsive.

Cheers

would that include adjusting the centre console to accommodate double from single?
 
Yes I would do everything using all oem parts, would look factory afterwards, all you'd need to do is pay the bill :)
 
is it only done onsight or do you travel to customers in some cases?
 
How much would I be looking at roughly for a single to double din conversion and a stereo fitting? Also would you recommend any double din stereos? Also based in Lancashire
 
audi upgrades
I have a single din concert radio too and just added an aux which is connected to a stereo bluetooth receiver which is able to play music from my phone and answer calls as its got a built in mic. Also bought a dash board car magnet to keep it in place. Works great for me.
 
Don't you need a CD changer for that? In the end I crumbled and bought a double din unit and all the required stuff for the retrofit. Should be doing the fit this weekend if all goes to plan :blink:

No, when you fit the aux adapter (connects2 brand) you just press the CD button two and thats it. Let us know how you get on
 
I'll take some nice photos, I would do a walk-through but It could be a bit of a bodge job knowing me. Any ideas on the lead's I'm going to need? I'm guessing a aerial inline boost like this. And an adapter for the for the amp in the back (non bose) like this?
