Just bought myself a Pioneer AVIC-D3BT to replace the RNS-D. I now need a facia adapter to surround the system. Does anyone know where i can get a decent one? Ive heard good things about these so im quite excited. Bargain price too.

I have this in my B5 RS4, you will not be disappointed mate, trust me this is an awesome piece of kit, does everything you could possibly want.
With regards to the facia plate, i'm not sure about the C5 RS6 but for mine there wasn't anything available so I had to get a custom facia made, looks brilliant now, very OEM.

It is very easy to operate, loads of features and functions, DVD quality is good, I play DIVX films, Ipod connection, MP3 CD, SatNav is awesome too, I use it a fair bit and it's very accurate, comes with full europe mapping also.
To top it up, the Pioneer has improved the sound quality by a huge margin, the Bose speakers sound so much better with crystal clear sound and clarity.
Lets you fully customise the screens (i've uploaded RS4 logo on mine), colours etc.

Is it easy to fit? Mine has got the Bose upgrade, does that matter?

To be honest I wouldn't have thought it takes much to install, as long as you know the basics and have loads of patience and time!
I on the other hand was lazy and didn't have the time, so got a 3rd party to make the Facia plate and install for me, costly but well worth it.
Bluetooth hands free is brilliant too, very clear, lets me play tunes of my phone via bluetooth, don't think there is much this peice of kit doesn't let me do!
Bose upgrade will compliment the Pioneer very well.
