Upgrade stereo
 

I've a chorus II radio cassette in an A2 and want to upgrade. I think
there's no new audi cd radio that'll play mp3s so thought that something
like the Solisto mp3 changer might be quite nice (www.solisto.co.uk).

I don't have the cabling in my a2 to a changer housing or cables but thought
there might be enough space for the mp3 changer to hang down under the
chorus in the space behind the climate control unit. It would mean adding
tracks to the usb pen drive would involve taking out the chorus but I can
live with that.

Does anyone have an mp3 changer like the solisto? If so, are you happy with
it and do you think I'm right about it sitting in the dash?

the radio we have in this Do it yourself (link below) isn't too bad at all

just out of curiosity, why don't you get a simple FM modulator?

I have never been a fan of the modulators, but they do work and are a quick fix.

I looked at this as an alternative to replacing my A4s head unit:

http://tinyurl.com/23noeb

It impersonates the audi autochanger and allows you to setup upto six
folders (headunit recognises them as albums) on a SD card and each
folder can have upto 99 tracks. I found them on ebay as well.

I went with a new headunit and bought adapter & faceplate for the ID3
tagging etc.

Quality is no where near as good as with a half decent headunit
though.
