2000 S8 - Stereo change

[ulfilias]

Hi there,

My S8 has the RNS-D from what i gather. The sat-nav is somewhat old and dated. Can't do custom poi's or speed cameras. The inputs are also a little limited.

As such i want to swap for a kenwood after market player, which will probably be a single Din unit.....the complexity comes in that there doesn't apear to be an after market facia for the A8/S8.

One option is to get one fabricated. A pro job is estimated round £100-150 which for some formed ABS is a bit steep....I was contemplating buying one for a A6 or A4, but actualy looking at them you would end up cutting the fixing lugs off in fettling it to fit the surround. You also end up with a spare DIN socket which in use the touch screen would hit, but i'm still not sure.

However some older models had single din stereo's

what would retro fitting the older style facia be like.....i guess i'd keep the seat control and swap the button for the older style - BTW the above is for a link idea rather than the unit i'd want to get....at a guess A8parts have these old facias (codes below)???

Ta,
Lee
