It's the surround... The Double DIN surround moves the aircon controls lower to fit it all in.

I have to admint, much as I dont want to, it does actually look quite good.... Its probably the best non-Audi install of a headunit I've seen in the D2 yet, which is a combination of sourcing the A6 facia plate and adapting, and picking a 'sensible looking' headunit which doesnt look like a prop out of star trek...

(I really didnt like that first Alpine.... :D)

Looks good, +++

Very nice install,
The cogs between my ears are whirring hard now, just that mine's a pre-facelift, so double din could be a tad trickier.....

For those of you that can't quite stretch to an Alpine or Pioneer unit...

Very OEM looking, and have models specifically for German cars +++

Nice and true very OEM looking, doesn't say the price and how much is it with the GPS?

499 euros if you click on the 'online shop' link.

Loads of different fitments http://www.google.co.uk/images?um=1&...=&oq=&gs_rfai=

Looking around, it seems this is a very good bit of kit, and priced very reasonably.

Cheers for the Guide in the process of fitting a double din Kenwood to my 52 reg quattro sport

I couldnt figure it out either - BUT - excellent job. Im very pernickety about things looking OE spec.
