Show me your stereo
I've come to conclusion that I won't get the audio system I want while keeping original stereo
 I want to replace it with something that "fits in" if it makes sense, so let me see what you guys have in your D2s

I can recommend installing RNS-E 2010+
With this system you can also have Audi AMI, Audi digital TV tuner, Audi Bluetooth, AUX input, reversing camera Buttons on your steering wheel with work with it. Voice control will work, activated via Push To Talk button on steering wheel Installing anything non-genuine will devalue these cars IMHO

Well then. I didn't know you had the mk2 installed! How did you get that working in the D2? I thought there were issues with the firmware / canbus in that version? Presume that's a mk1 A6 surround cut down to suit the D2 dash and fitted on to the mk2 buttons? Odd place to put the aux in though
 Would't it be easier to put that in the centre console?While the RNS-e is a nice option to have, I can't see how many people could justify spending four figures on a head unit when better aftermarket units are available for £300. I don't see it devaluing the car to the average punter either since most aftermarket units come with Bluetooth and USB now too, making them actually useful compared to the RNS-d. If the car is sold to an enthusiast who actually wants a useless 20 year old brick in the dash then I have a stack of RNS-ds which I use as bookends Its simple enough to re-fit the original if its important.

Need to purchase early version high definition RNS-E 2010+, where Audi haven't got rid of some wires yet by packing those signals to canbus.
Some wisdom how to install RNS-E 2010+ in FL D2 is documented at the bottom of this thread: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5884 Start reading from page 5...  I can help you MJ if you decide to do it >> Presume that's a mk1 A6 surround cut down to suit the D2 dash and fitted on to the mk2 buttons? Correct. Surround from mk1 A6 cut down and transplanted to A3 unit, which should have hardware version 04 or lower Another trick is code the unit with A6 coding Latest software version 220 will work fine with A6 coding, though it will not allow to code itself for A6 initially. Workaround: Downgrade software to version 150, which will still accept A6 coding and then upgrade software again to 220 Additional useful stuff: RNS-E 2010+ maximum road speed display feature http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7127 AMI installation on D2 (only works with RNS-E 2010+) http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7109 Adding auxiliary input and USB charging socket http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3148

That looks ace. Sadly I can't justify the cost involved to fit one, and I don't have the knowledge required to fit one either.
Looking for something decent that's pretty much plug&play, so I can get amplifier fitted along with a nice subwoofer and speakers.  As for car value, my D2 is a FWD 2.8 that I paid £875 for, so devaluation isn't an issue

Well, labour is free if you know what you do
and you can buy parts from cars of that era for very cheap now on eBay from people who break cars Haven't seen anything aftermarket for D2 that will be plug and play and will look decent

I prefer the OEM look too personally and that RNS-E looks completely original sat in the D2 dash. Presumably you still lose the DIS connectivity though?
