One thing missing is a cage fitting kit to secure the cage, thats tonights search. Total spent £88.20 inc. postage. Might get £20 back for one of the facias and surrounds. I will post progress....

Ok update. So Dynamic sound sent me an A4 facia not A6 and the Rubberised one hasn't arrived yet so not got that bit sorted yet. However the frame and cage arrived and they seem to match/fit. Dynamic sound did send me the wiring loom which seems to be OK. So I have powered up and it all seems to work. The only issue is it makes a big old amp bang when I turn the ignition on and off seems to be the power to the BOSE, this didn't happen with the RNS-D. Gareth does yours do this ?

[ecain63]

Did you get the Bose 'front & rear' loom? might be whats causing the bang if its the inferior 'front' only one.

[lindowkid]

Yes I did get the front and rear, maybe a quality thing ? See here

Has your unit got 4v pre outs?

Are using the pre outs for the wiring adapter?

If so, you'll need some kind of suppresors, to avoid this.

[lindowkid]

yes its got pre-outs I believe its a Kenwood DNX-7200 got any links for suppresor ?

[rs4_avant_7]

which fascia did you go with, the rubber one modified or the standard plastic double din one ?

did you sort your popping issue on the AMP?

[lindowkid]

Ha ha, forgotten all about this. I went for the rubber one and modified it which i think worked best. Fixed the popping using a Autoleads PC9-408 instead of the 410. More expensive but sorted it all out. Never got the aerial sorted though, for a while I used an external one one the dash which was OK. In the final throws of it all I decided to go back to the RNS-D after I worked out I didn't really us the iPod connector and I already had a brilliant Bluetooth Nokia kit wired professionally wired into the RNS-D. I have to say I was mush happier with the OEM fit in the end.

thanks for the update i will let you know how it goes when i get the new unit
