Paging Fluffhead Re: Phatbox in RS4
I just took delivery of my RS4 (yaaaay!) and I have to part with my TT, but I'm not sure I can do with out the phatbox. Have you installed yours in your RS4? Where did you mount it? Was it a giant PITA?
Alternatively, I already own a 30GB iPod as well, which I could connect, but I'm not sure the functionality would be nearly as intergrated. Opinions?

Sorry haven't done the install yet and I'm not sure how I will be doing it....
I had it in my trunk on my B6 S4 (in the compartment to the left).
I was thinking of trying the glove box install, but don't think it will work with the 6 disc changer.
I think I'm leaning towards the spare wheel area if it will fit. This way it will be hidden, easliy accessable, and won't take up any room in other places.
I have the Ultrasport Sal cable that allows me to have both Sirius and Phatbox.

True... but I get at least 30-40 albums, and that is plenty for the car for me.
My phatbox used to basically just recycle the same 20 albums (the latest 20 I bought), despite having over 200 on the drive. So I'm not really missing those other 200. Plus I like the song info display.
Admittedly, navigating via voice rather than scrolling the wheel while trying to drive is easier.

I mounted mine in the rear...
if you take out the left rear side carpeted panel there's a spot that will just barely fit the Phatbox if you shave off both sides of the aluminum fins. The cartridge sticks out a little but the door trim does close.
