and the pioneer avic d3 is better? really? i unno i guess im just being bias lol, the rns-e Looks better but yea pioneer is one of the big boys in the buisness

 

no no im not sayin that model is better i meant there are better systems out there ... i liek the avicd3 it think i t has nice features and its simple yet nice ... and you cant beat the price.

the rnse is very nice but always explore all options

 

do I need the audio keys to take out the head unit ?

 

audio keys??

you need your radio code and also you need the audi radio removal tool ... there are 4 of them you can get away with 2 but 4 is easier and they are cheap anyway

 

Yea thats what I was talking about ( typo) so when I hook up my amp to the head unit I'll need a code?

 

you will need the codes when u remove the radio and take the power cable out ... after you hook teh amp up and "energize" the radio you will put the code in to regain functionality

 

How would I put in the code ? With vag? And where can I find the code ? And is there any other way to take out the radio without the remov tools?

 

code is in the manual and you type it in the radio ... you need the tools ... ive heard ppl using metal files etc but you run the risk of 1- cosmetically damaging the face of the radio and 2- damaging the pieces inside that slit that grab the tool and then youll really be screwed if you do that bc the tool wont even work lol

the tool is 10bucks

you could take a dremel and cut it out lol that what i did in my a4 bc i was an idiot and couldnt figure out how to get it out haha and then put a dash kit over it but it looked tacky

id recommend the tool

 

ooo yea i found the code, yea im gonna see if i can buy them off ebay now i gotta wait lol

so the symphony II has rca outputs? or do i gotta do some tapping?

 

not sure about symphoney 2 ... i tapped speaker wires before the bose amp and used one of those little rca converter box things for my bose
