Replacing the double din BOSE Symphony II headunit... is it the done thing?

[its_neil]

Hi,

2002 S3 with a BOSE Symphony 2 headunit that's double din. I've looked *everywhere* for replacement dash kits so I can fit a regular double din headunit into the car but they don't seem to exist... Most people say you have to buy an A4 (?) adaptor, modify it then buy a collection of wiring adapters to mate it all up to the speakers properly.

Is changing the headunit on the S3 simply not done then? I'd like to buy a touchscreen double din sat nav / bluetooth / ipod / all singing all dancing unit but information appears thin on the ground.

Cheers!

I have a touch screen in mine double din the mod to the facia wasnt to bad. if your going to do it strip out old audio fit new and wire in a propper amp. Not cheaper but better option
