After-Market Stereo for Audi TT

[oft02]

I have a 2008 Audi TT. The telephone is not hooked up and the functions on the steering wheel do not work except for the volume and dial to change radio stations or tracks. It is the OEM multifunction stereo (navigation, satellite radio, iPod hookup, SD card slots,cd) but I want to replace it with something that has Bluetooth capability and touch screen navigation in addition to radio and iPhone functionality. Anyone have a suggestion on a stereo brand and model?
Thanks in advance.

I have always Used Pioneer AVIC head units. Take a look at those. I feel they match well with Audi/VW's/porsches the best out of the aftermarket HU's.

Thanks for the info! My worry is that they won't fit with my TT? I saw some at Best Buy last Sunday and the guy from Geek Squad tried telling me they couldn't help because the wiring in Audi's are really difficult and this and that... bottom line, I just think I got a lazy customer service rep.

That was your first mistake. BB installers are, for the most part, lazy and lack knowledge. Even if one of them said they could do it, I wouldn't trust them. If you're not going to DIY, you need to take this to a true car stereo shop in your area. Do some research and find out who does really good custom work. Custom work is not required, but the expertise of the people that do awesome custom work is a good prerequisite for being able to wire up such a "difficult" car. I put that in quotes because it's anything BUT difficult. What you need to do, even if you have the work done by someone else, is go to enfig (as Luis suggested) and get ALL the parts needed for install to take over to the shop of your choosing. Make them use those parts. It will cost you ~$120 for the plug and play harness from enfig, but it's worth every penny you pay to ensure that it's as simple as possible for the installer and they don't have to cut ANY of your factory wiring. enfig also sells better quality\matching dash kits, so I would suggest sourcing that from them as well.
