Grizz depends how much of the RS4 bits you have in the car?

The RS4 Centre console is a complete wanker to fit an aftermarket standard size unit too. It is double din for staters and no one makes the adapter kits.

However, is you have the S4 dash then you should easily buy some adapters to make the actaul unit fit in.

Regarding the wiring I believe it is very complicated due to the Bose active system, however, I also believe there are adapters to make this work without chopping and cutting at things.

I searched all of this when I was doing my RS4 and then just gave it to the pro's to do. If my brain was working better, I would be able to remember the names of the companies - sadly alcohol abuse has turned it to mush...
