Default New Radio for the A4

Hello.....when i bought my 2003 A4 it came with a STUPID radio which has to go....(I would have been happy with the ORIGINAL Audi radio.) So i want to install one of these ebay Chinese android 4.1 radio units. My question: How much depth is in the 2 DIN opening? A friend of mine will install the radio for me so I need to know the measurements before I order a unit which could be too big. Millimeters or inches would be fine...thanks!!

Is the production harness intact? If so and if it were me, I would not mess with an aftermarket. I would go to a junk yard, find a radio in a junker, keep the receipt, go to the dealer to get the code, and install a factory stereo. Of course, I'm old and don't use Aux ports or cassette adapters.

I'm looking to do the same and came across this stereo. It's A4 specific.

If you have a single din radio now, you are going to need a climate control bracket. That is double din. Then your new DD radio will fit.

Ok...i got the android radio installed as i wanted to. I just took my chances. Here is a link to the SAME radio i got: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-4-2-2DIN-Car-DVD-Radio-GPS-Stereo-Wifi-3G-DVR-OBD2-BT-1080P-1-6GHz-Unit-/191353163954?pt=US_Video_In_Dash_Units_w_GPS&hash=item2c8d8990b2 Here is the deal: It fits perfect.....works as described....NAVI DVD RADIO INTERNET GOOGLE PLAY REAR VIEW CAMERA...all works fine. ONLY thing which didnt work out the steering wheel buttons couldnt be connected to this radio...because of the Bose speaker system as I was told from the electronic store who installed the radio for me. All in all I am happy with the result!
