Default Phatbox Phatnoise Complete with box

I'm selling my almost new phatbox phatnoise.
Bout it less than a year ago brand new in a box, unopened.

Since it don't fit the D3, I got no need for it.

I'd like £100 + posting.

Man, that's a bargain! I bought a second hand one for that kind of money a couple of years ago (still haven't fitted it!)

Scott, what's included in the package? Checked their website, and apart from the phatbox, I would need the relevant lead to connect to my D2 and also a data cartridge.

Also, from the pictures, it seems to be quite big. Any idea if it will fit in the space in the boot along with the CD changer and analogue TV tuner? Can't check my own car, as it's with the mechanic getting the belts and other bits done.

You'll get everything.
The dock, power, lead, harddrive, phatbox, box, booklets and mounting brackets.

It's about 4x12 inches.

It's a real shame it won't work with the D3.
I really liked it.

So does the Phatbox just replace the CD changer, using the same DIN-style connector and needing no extra feed?
Presumably it works OK with RNS-D?

Checked the PDF document from their website, and you basically connect it to the CD changer feed lead to the head unit, so yes, it replaces the CD changer as such.

Other than knowing I'll have more than the equivalent of 6 CDs to listen to, that's all I know about it. Nothing like being well informed before a purchase... and I'm not well informed The main thing is that it is within my price range.

Its just that.
you remove the CD change and fit this in its place.

when you go to the changer menu to select the disc with a change, with the phatbox you are selecting playlists/menus.

which it will tell you about and you select it from there.

20gb harddrive is upgradeable to something bigger if you want but I had over 40 albums (you might get them, so don't judge my music selection to much ) and it was just under half full.

It works faultlessly with the RNS-d. CD-6 is the setting menu, in that you can select what OEM stereo you have.

Here's some more information about it when I installed it in to my B5, with a nice little video at the end showing the voice side of it.

http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a4-s4-f...e-install.html

You might have to turn the volume up for the video.

I will miss that little box of tricks lol
