Been searching the web for several weeks now and I wanted to ask if there's anyone who's fitted an aftermarket double-din headunit to their A4 (not RNS-E) and what they though of it?
90% of people seems to say "Get the RNS-E!", but it's £650, it doesn't have bluetooth and all the extra connectivity you can get from an aftermarket unit (unless you spend £100's more on OEM additions), so I've ruled that out as an option.
There are various generic double-din units out there but something which would LOOK a bit more OEM would be ideal. I have found a company called WITSON (from a post in another forum), and have found a direct replacement unit which they sell for the A4. Has all the functionality you could want: USB, iPod, BT, SatNav, TV, DVD, DivX, MP3, SCHD card, internet ready, RDS, MFSW compatibility, 6 disc virtual player, 7" HD touchscreen. Link: http://www.witson.com/en/displayproduct.html?proID=100522865
The price for the unit is about £270 (after converting to £), there is also an optional Digital TV box which would take the total cost to £325. Not sure if TV (or DTV) is worth having in a car due to: Having to position an antenna somewhere visable & poor reception on the move. Didn't know if maybe as mine is a Cab if I could mount the ariels under the plastic cover at the top of the windscreen, or on the underside of the hood cover in the rear?
Has anyone had any experience with Witson units, or this one specifically? What's the quality like? Anyone seen or have anything with similar functionality to compare this with??
Thanks for you help guys!
