Default any single DIN size

you will need to get an adapter for the head unit because the audi concert head unit is slighty longer than standard single DIN, the adapter is just a plactic frame that gives it a clean look. u can get this easily at best buy or any other mobile audio store. i have just installed a pioneer deh-8600 and i am having it installed tomorrow at best buy. ill let you know how that goes. be prepared tho, you will need an interface adapter to make the head unit work with the factory bose system. all in all the install may cost about $225. in my opinion, its worth it.

Default Worth considering sony m9900

<center><img src="http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/products/2004/158/h158CDXM990-f.jpeg"></center><p>red illumination, nice little dimpled buttons, decent TFT display and gimmickly video display

it will require some interface work, as will any unit and you'll lose the radio information on the dash display (again - you'll lose this with any new unit).

Default head unit hell

after spending 4 hours at my local sound shop they discover that the bose speakers operate at 2 ohm. all factory decks need 4 ohms to function. in other words if u truly want this done be prepared to switch all four bose speakers to aftermarket 4 ohm speakers. imo, not worth it, i am having an icelink put in instead with ipod.
