Complete for fitting in my RS4, Doesn't matter what size cartridge just as long as its bigger than 10gb
I live in Sweden so you have to be able to ship it there, I can pay with paypal or bank transfer
Put in the thread here what you got and I'll get back to you asap.

Not sure if I need that big as 160 gb, can you give me an estimate on how much you would like for it with 80-120gb? (not including shipping ofc)

just checked - not got what i thought i had.
i have 2 boxes - the large cd changer style which goes in the b5 boot cubby hole, but the cartdridge may stick out of the hole cover - i had to cut a small slot out of the hole cover to allow the first 1cm or so of the cartridge to stick out, and the smaller in-the-boot style which fastens to the side of the boot space, both fully patched to take standard hard drives.
ive got a bmw connector/converter and a vw/new audi cable, but no older round audi cable (available on ebay for around £14)
ive got original 20gig and 80gig (was £200) cartridges as well as patched 40gig and 60gig.
ive got original manuals, disk, operating sheet etc as well.
if you want to go for the audi cable from ebay then i would like £150 for one box, 80gig original and a spare 60gig disk , cradle/psu/manuals plus shipping

IS the smaller unit better fitment wise, I don't want to make any cosmetic changes to the outside of the interior if you know what I mean

, to modifiy the changer cradle is no problem but I don't want to cut up the interior lid for the cd changer / gps module.

all phatboxes have the same depth - they are the same as the cd changer, but the cartridge sticks out of the box - there isnt depth to modify the changer cradle - its already as far back as it can go.
the only option is to mount it elsewhere or cut a hole in the cubby door to accommodate the cartridge

Okay, I can probably sort that out though, So you can arrange everything I need for "bolt-on" assembly for 150£ + postage? In that case calculate shipping to my address I'll send you in PM

Pending buy from Duncan. I'm looking for a complete set so I'm 100% sure I can fit it. Not familiar with what's needed so therefore looking for a complete deal.
Thanks anyway
