Dash change between 98-00

I was looking at the dash change between the 98 and 00 A8's. I see it is still the same size and the vents are identicle. But they change to configuration of the buttons and where the radio is. Does anyone know or where I could find to see if the connections are the same through this change or not? Because I'm wondering if I can swap the 98 center dash piece for a 00 dash piece.

You can't, they are totally different

I did it when I did my Nav Plus install.....it took forever....you need a new cage behind the dash and everything.

Why would you want to do this anyways?

Re: You can't, they are totally different

thanks for the reply and the pictures. It sure does look like a lot of fun to do it. I like the 00 set up better then the 98. But I may end up sticking with the 98 version.
