I have a 2004 A4 that I would that has the symphony II audio radio/CD/tape system install. Unfortunately the DVD player has stopped working and I am now in search for a replacement. The obvious thing would be to find a direct replacement, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any other options that may be a bit better? I would like to have the ability to plug in my IPod or a have a Navigation system.

 

RNS-E is the original upgrade from AUDI or some Pioneer models will fit perfect.

 

I purchased a brand new unit from genuinevwaudiparts.com for $28. The cable for plugging in an ipod and using the headunit to control the ipod is $150ish.

I just purchased a unit from autodvdgps.com for the simple reason it looks like a stock unit. It has a touch screen, GPS, USB, streeming bluetooth for music and handsfree phone and it works with the bose system and is plug and play with a little modification of the wiring harness they send (the one they send you has no power supply for the amp) i have only had it for about 2 weeks but so far its great does everything i want it to and for less then half the price of any other i could find with the same features.

 

did you hook up your ipod adapter yet, I'm looking around at the dension ones vs the Audi one, does your have text display on the dash or radio??

 

RNS or Sym II+ if you want to stay OEM... otherwise, lots of aftermarket products can be fitted with the right bezels.

 

I just looked online at those links, and it tells me nothing is found using the search, how were you able to find them?

 

lol he provided you with the website and the part #. Just search them on the oem part number search they have. Works just fine.
