Orange Electronic P409S is what I have and appears to have been discontinued at the moment. Amazon had it for many months, then it said "discontinued." A few months later (which was about 4 months ago) they came back in stock and I got one for my dad's MB SL.
If you ever find one, let my know and I'll walk you through the installation. I have an OEM untouched ash tray insert so you'll be able to see the mods I made to mine to fit the display. That was the hardest part of the installation, but it's just some Dremel work and a lot of fitting and refitting. I just ran power from fuse tap in passenger footwell up behind the glove box and used a cigarette lighter adapter behind the ash tray cubby (whatever you do don't cut the power wire that comes with the system...their instructions say to cut it to hard wire, but it houses the antenna and I never got it to work that way. I had to exchange for a new one, which was a royal PITA).

they are selling on Ebay and there appear to be plenty of the older model available.
I will get back to this when I change the stereo out later this year.
Thanks for your offer on the DIY help, I will most likely take you up on it.

OK the German Ebayer is saying 220 euro total shipping to send me the 4 sets of mats DHL.
(Ein Paket bis 31,5kg)!
You know you are in deep (4 rings habit) - when you are speaking German
that’s $250 dollars
$62.50 per set. If they are what they look like then they are good deal and I'm going to pull the trigger.
After all I paid $99 for weather techs that DON'T FIT
and had to be returned

2001 Audi A8/S8 | All-Weather Car Floor Mats by WeatherTech - traps water, road salt, mud and sand | WeatherTech.com
Since 32Kg = 70lb each set of the remaining 2 I ship out will weigh approx. 18lbs.
I just had a 19 lb. monitor shipped freight cross country and it cost $20-25.
If you are in SF bay Area I don't mind a pickup (on my schedule).
Who wants 1 set of the remaining 2 sets of Mats. I think it’s fair the guys who post more get some priority, so if you are a lurker don’t bother.
USA ship only:
Total cost if you are in East Coast USA
Approx.: $85

I bought some mats from Lloyd's mats and they fit great and look great I bought the most expensive ones that have a lifetime warranty.
