Hello, I joined a few hours ago and just like to say what a great site you have created, the FAQs and Stickys have answered so many questions I didn't know I had! Although not this one
.
I have been searching to find an answer to my conundrum. I have come close - there are a lot of related topics but I cant seem to find a definitive answer. So with the possibility of annoying the regulars only to find this has been answered previously here goes;
I have a 2005 2.0 tdi SE sportback registered in April 2005 (8P2) it is currently fitted with the stereo below (Symphony II (+?);
I have a similar head unit in my 2005 Passat, in so much as it has the tape player still in it (WHY) it annoys me in that and even more so in the A3 as it is a much more modern and design friendly place to be only with a nod to the 80s staring me right in the face!
I would like to change it for any AUDI OEM head unit that doesnt have a tape player. I dont mind if it is not mp3, I do not mind if it is not a 6 disc changer. I dont mind if it doesnt have an aux for ipod I would just like a cd player and radio with no tape the other options would be a bonus. I do have a Bose upgrade and would like to keep that if possible.
I do not want to fit an after market head unit or upgrade to RNS-E or have to change aerials, boosters and amplifiers I have learnt a lot whilst trawling the FAQs and Stickys - I didnt even know what they were a few hours ago.
Anyway I would just love to know which other head Audi Oem units will plug straight in and work that dont have a tape deck if the short answer is none then a solution that involves the minimal amount of cable adapting would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation
Ian
