Hi
First of all, sorry if this is posted under the wrong section but I wasnt sure where it belonged.
ok, so this morning, I went shopping with the wife only to get a phone call 10mins in from the police asking if I was the owner of a black A3 quattro. Long story short.....the car had been broken into and the sat nav nicked from a busy shopping center car park in the middle of the day (1pm). Now, to say I was a little peeved is an understatement seeing as tho this is the 3rd one ive had stolen in 3 years (1st one almost 3 years ago to the day).
I am sick of these w***ers breaking into my car but know I cant watch it 24/7 so am stuck. I dont want to sell the thing because I love it so am resigned to the fact of now buying a basic system so I wont have to replace the glass yet again. My wife (who is expecting our first) is terrified of someone jumping her if I get another so wont let me buy a 4th rns-e and I dont really blame her tbh.
So my question is this-if I buy a basic system (I dont even know what that is-a concert 2?) Would I need to get anything additional to make it work or would it just fit right in the big hole in my dash? I have a bose system and bluetooth phone connection with the rnse. Would I need to buy a surround or is it the same physical size? Wheres the best place to get one? Sorry for the questions but I never thought I would be downgrading so don't know much about this.
For the rest of you, if you have a sat nav installed, please be careful as these b****rds are still out there theiving, right in the middle of the day. I live in leeds by the way.
thanks in advance for your help.
