Default well if you want it to look at all decent, you will need to wait for an aftermarket kit .... or...

you can have a completely custom install done, they will likely build a special bracket for the deck, but no guarentee how good it's going to look... a final option is to buy either a double-din deck (pioneer makes a lot of them). Or you can put two units in the dashboard (such as a deck and DSP unit)... I am an audio nut myself but I decided that it's just not worth it in this car... don't want to deal with all of the headaches that aftermarket stereo installations cause (rattles, vibrations, warrenty headaches, etc).

Default I just need to know if it will work....

as to the look, I have this system installed in my 1999.5 A4 right now, and I think it looks fine

I think I can get a good job done on a 2000 A4
using a 1999.5 Console cover

Default Don't forget about the climate controls

On pre-2000, the radio and climate control covers were seperate pieces.

On the 2000, it is one cover, and I'm pretty sure that the climate control unit was lowered, meaning a pre-2000 radio cover and climate cover wouldn't fit together.

I would look into using your current cover, and just build a small frame to fill the space left from the pre-2000 radio. Also remember that the pre-2000 face is wider.

Hope this helps.
