im looking to buy a 7" touchscreen, and ive seen a few that look good in the car and a few that dont. help me out by posting pics, not only of the headunit but faceplate is more what im looking for. i want to install one but just wanna see more how it looks.

 

I will post up some pics but my intstall is not done, my freind and I made a brushed aluminum plate that matches my shifter plate, we made two templates one of which is in the car now, we need to make it one more time and put a plate over it so it looks more flush, i dont want to use the black trim plate that came with th unit

 

What unit(s) are you looking at i also am thinking about getting 1 but refuse to get a flip-up screen. (they always break)

 

Can you post a pic of the shifter plate i want to see how it looks because i was going to do the same thing with the left over aluminum that i have.

 

 

I also have the same dillema, however I am looking for an in dash reciever, such as the Alpine IVA-W200 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-XdmtZxz...p?i=500IVAW200. Anyone know of any hook up or space issues with these?

By the way, i have a 2002 A4 3.0

 

The pioneer AVID-D3 iscomming out in March for about $1000 and would look awesome in the A4 IMO.

"The D3 comes with the standard fare: multi-format audio playback (MP3, WMA, AAC), Sirius/XM capability, Bluetooth integration and DVD playback. The nav system is updated to deliver lane-specific driving directions and includes millions of "points of interest" like gas stations and restaurants to visit along the way. Personalization is Pioneer's selling point, as the D3 morphs between five different color schemes at your command."

.... for that price and those specs I think it has the RNS- E beat hands down.
