Hi
I have just bought a Audi A4 1.8SE off ebay for a very good price (I think!!) of £3,500! I used to have a '95 A4 and it is so much nicer!! Especiall having climate control /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1luvu.gif !!!
On my previous A4, I had an aftermarket Sony CDX-MP40 MP3/CD player. However on my new A4 I have a driver display information system and I really want to keep the radio display on that as I find it useful. Also I find it really annoying constantly having to take the front off the stereo when I park.
So my new A4 has the concert stereo and I think it is cool, especially how it records traffic info so when you drive off you are up to date (probably more useful for a business man than a student like myself!). However it only plays cassettes and so I want a CD player. I could get a changer for it with no problems, but what I would really like to do is to install the audi symphony stereo which has cassette and a bulit in 6 disk changer. The thing is though, mine still has the older dash (before '99.5) so that wouldn't fit.
Could I change just the centre console part of the dash to the newer one (after '99.5) so that the larger symphony stereo will fit. Also will I need to buy the newer air conditioning unit and will that still work with the existing wires? Will the symphony still show the radio info on my drivers display?
I am quite competent with things like this so there is no problems with doing it, just wondered whether anyone knows the answers first!!
Any help much appreciated /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif
