Default None is needed unless you change your audi system.

the fascia adapter compensates for the fact that most head units are DIN sized, while the audi head is bigger. I'm not sure if that is the right adapter for your year thought, you have the symphony radio, right?


The speaker adapers let you run 5.25" drivers in the stock 4" door locations

the wiring harness would be needed if using the stock head unit with aftermarket amps and speakers

Tell us what you are planning to do, we'll tell you what you need

I plan on upgrading the headunit to a single DIN Blaupunkt and adding an aftermarket amp and a sub.

Default Some answers

You'll need an aerial adapter to use the stock antenna with the aftermarket head.

The fascia adapter is just a set of plastic spacers to go from &lt;1999 Concert style head to single DIN, I don't think that'll help you. search here, I think most people end up making a custom panel to fit.


You'll need some kind of wiring harness that plugs into the stock wiring harness to get power, etc.

You're not using the stock speakers are you?

I was going to continue using the stock speakers for now and swap them out at some future date

Don't forget - Get the antenna adapter that has a power lead! Otherwise reception will suck and yes adapters are widely available for the wiring harness.

It's your car, but the worst part of the stock system is the speakers

I did some more research, I think I'm gonna go with Infinity Kappas front and Rear with the rears running off a separate amp. Kappa 6.5"s push 75W RMS, any recommendations for an amp? I am currently looking at a Phoenix Gold pushing 75W RMS x 2

Default Sounds like a good plan to me

Another amp you might look into is PPI, they're pretty nice and not incredibly expensive.
