I saw the write-up for a pioneer d3 in an a4, but what about the a6? Questions inside
 

I have seen many double din units in both the a4 and a6, i even have both a sosche and metra kit for my 2001 a6, but they are not double din kits, they are two single din slots.

My question is: If i cut out the middle tab it will be slightly larger then the d3 unit is and since neither the sosche or metra kit came with mounting brackets, how will i mount the d3 to my dash? can i just use the kit as the trim piece or will it not fit correctly.

I was thinking of paying a shop to do this for me but if it is something i can tackle myself i would rather do that.

Thanks

There is a version of the Scosche kit that comes with a plate and brackets...I have 2 on the way.

Do you have a model number? thanks

Why not just order one from Avincar???
 

He provides plenty of free technical advice on this forum, and you probably wouldn't only be buying the bracket, but also his technical expertise to a certain degree.

Well im looking to get my radio in tommorow morning so i was gonna check some shops around here. if
 

i cant find it i will most definetly order it from him. I have seen the scosche kit for the a4 with brackets but none for the a6

I think it's AU2390B but it's in the catalog on their site.

CORRECTION: AU2380B, new improved version.
 

The 90 is for the A4.

This is the NEW version of this kit. Scosche sells this to AAMP/Bestkits, but the version I got from them was the old one without the 2-DIN plate or the ISO brackets. So get the NEW AU2390 branded Scosche for the time being.

The surface finish is very nice, but VERY inappropriate for the car. It's a sandpaper-looking finish. I'd personally spray this with a few coats of black Plasti-Dip before putting it in my car. (Remember that this process is stinky to high heaven!)

I can't access my photo host at the moment but will post pic later.

Ok i have that kit already but i would need to buy the cage and mounts for the d3
 

i know where to get those. Right now im having a hard time getting the wires stuffed behind the radio so the unit will fit, who would of thought that is the hardest part lol.

thanks alot

D3 has no cage, but my AU2380 CAME with ISO side-brackets, and the screws are in the D3 box.

Yeah mine did not come with any brackets, thats weird.. I plan on buying this kit off
 

ebay, which is about 1 city away so i can pick it up tonight. But i still need to stuff these damn wires lol.

i was told this cage and brackets will work for the d3<ul><li><a href="http://cage">http://cgi.ebay.com/Pioneer-Avic-D1-Avic-D2-cage-trim-ring-brackets_W0QQitemZ120130476449QQihZ002QQcategoryZ1 4932QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphot ohosting</a></li></ul>
