I have an 06 a4 with Symphony. Hate it. Use my galaxy nexus for music and my life
I am a huge fan of keeping my interior clean looking, Aka OEM.
Looking to retain factory clean look but add an Aux input (now) and Sat radio (in time)
About to purchase a symphony II plus off ebay for 150-200 however i am having a hard time sourcing the harness and if i do i'm looking at another $80-100? Plus if i added in Sat that would be another $$$? coding which i just read about and unaware of.
At this point maybe an aftermarket unit such as Pioneer AVHP4400BH might be a better choice? About the same price but offers many more features plus Bluetooth!
FYI- not that it really matters but I am a MECP advanced cert installer as it was my last profession while in school so i'm very knowledgeable in aftermarket
My questions to you all are;
#1 reading what i wrote would you go oem or aftermarket?
#2 if Oem where can i get that harness?
#3 If aftermarket, has anyone has issues with blown speakers etc? I haven't looked into the specs of the sound system of this car but i believe i can reuse the stock speakers and rear amp. Has anyone found a bug free steering wheel control?
