Hi all, (newbie) I am after some advice on replacing the original factory fitted audio system in my 2001 A4 B6. The last time I changed a radio in a car all you had to do was slip it out, disconnect the power, aerial and speakers – connect them to the new one hey presto. But having spent most of the day dragging around the internet, I don’t think it’s going to be as straight forward as that...... What I have is a AM/FM Radio, Cassette and 6 CD player built into the centre console, the multi-function steering wheel (6 buttons – volume up/down, next/last, seek forward/back) with info about radio station or track number shown on the Driver Information System display (that is when the oil level warning is off). I think the aerial is built into the rear screen (don’t have the shark fin). Basically what I want is a DAB radio with Bluetooth and CD, that will ‘work’ with the steering wheel controls and the Driver Info display, but I’m unsure if this is possible i.e. is the interface specific to Audi or is there a ‘generic’ standard that all manufacturers are supposed to follow. It would really help if someone could mark me card by suggesting a couple of manufactures / models for me to look at so I can try and clarify my options and understand what I should be looking for. And also any pitfalls to watch out for. Mark

Hi guys, I am new to this forum and I think this forum is just awesome. I recently bought a 07 RS4 Avant and I had quite some fun out that beast. Just one thing it is botherring a bit- the factory GenII+ symphony system. I am not saying it is bad as a CD player but for a car at this price without a multi-meida system it's just unacceptable. I dont know why all here in New Zealand, most RS4s I've seen are not equipped with the RNS-E. Maybe no road map for this model? Anyway, I am planning on replacing the symphony with the RNS-E. Just need to get some basics right: 1. If I buy an RNS-E from ebay and get a New Zealand map for it, will I be able to use it? 2. I saw people are talking about the 'Codes' in many other threads, what is it? 3. What is the reasonable price for an RNS-E? Thanks in advance guys!! Cheers
