Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere else, but the search engine doesn't like the term "din," too short or something. I have an '04 Audi A4 with a Symphony system installed (no Bose). Is it at all possible to install a double-DIN aftermarket stereo (like one of the Pioneer AVIC's)? It would appear that the space is big enough, but Crutchfield continues to tell me that double-DIN won't fit.

Has anyone done this? How difficult is it?

 

It has been done. The in dash kit I used was from Metra. The only differnce is that i have Bose. Currently do you have a single din or double?

 

It's the double-din Symphony system. What about the wiring? Does the CAN-BUS setup make it any more difficult than wiring up any other car stereo?

 

i have a pioneer double din avhp-4000 350 on ebay when i bought it a year ago and i alos have a JL W3V3 with a 400 wat alpine amp with bose and it sounds amazing blows most peoples **** away. i used to have a W7 13 in with 1000/1 jl amp and that was intense. the bass was over kill but it would hit so hard. the metra kit is easy to install and you need a antenna adapter also and prolly want the ipod hook up too. if you get it installed by a shop make sure they know what there doin and don't pay more then 150 for install thats how much i payed for mine.

 

When installing an aftermarket HU what happens to your display between your gauges? Is it just dark at the top where it usually shows your stereo info?

 

that is correct
