Yes, you can. A friend of mine did the conversion himself! However, the centre console is totally diff. from yours, so you have to order the parts as well as the Sat Nav stereo!!! Good luck!

Try this link

for everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Nav+ units come up fairly often on ebay (especially German ebay).
Cheers, viffer

If you have the Symphony radio unit (standard here in the UK), then there should be no need to change any of the facia.
Watch out for the Nav unit you buy though, as ones from the A6 and A8 etc have different plastic surrounds.
Cheers

If you only want to watch tele I wouldn't bother.
The TV reception is pretty crap. That's assuming mine is working ok. - Infact that's a question for you guys with the TV+ option. More often than not I get a pretty good picture but no sound. If I drive about the sound comes and goes.
I suppose this is best directed to folks in my local area - Steve, Frank ?

That doesn't sound right! I often get good quality sound, even when the picture is poor/non-existant.

Yeah I thought it would have been the other way around. I'm going to carry out a comparisson with SBroon's TV sometime.

Don't have TV/satnav in RS but do have it in the daily hack, Merc. Same unit as Audi use. The telly works fine in most areas, sometimes takes a bit of time to search the channels but is usually fine, wife likes listening to the soaps even if she cant see the picture until I stopb and the kids like the DVD with screens in the rear, can drive for hundreads of miles before they start to complain about needing a pee
