    Looking for reputable audio shop

    Thinking of getting rid of the RSN-E in my 2008 RS4 and going aftermarket audio. Need for reputable shop preferably in York region ie, Newmarket, Richmond Hill area.
    It's been some time since I've thought about car audio and the people I used to deal with aren't around. Any input is appreciated.
    TIA, Jeff.

    I replaced the RSN-E in my RS4 with connections from Enfig, it was 100% plug and play and there's no need to go to a shop. Can be done in less than a half hour in your driveway. I installed a Pioneer AVIC-8100 NEX and its been working great ever since.

    So Bluetooth, antenna's, navigation, steering wheel controls... everything works?

    The other thing is I'm thinking of changing out the speakers and amps as well as the head unit.

    The new unit has its own Bluetooth, but yea, it comes with adaptors for nav antennas, steering wheel controls and to interface with OE Bose amp, ect. If you're looking to add another amp and replace speakers that's a different story, but if only the head unit, it's very straight forward.

    Jeff at Audio Heaven did some work on my B7 S4. I did the install of the Pioneer head unit with connectors bought by Enfig.
    But needed them for some other stuff and some polish.
    Jeff doesn't do much of the car audio himself, when you book the appointment he brings in his audio installer guru.
    I met the guy and he was top notch.... been doing car audio for 20+ years.

    I got some audio done at ultra. Tbh wasnt too happy with how they did it. Recommended my friend go there aswell. Hes not happy how they did his and imo they did a very poor job on his. Like they were rushing to get it out the door.

    RNSE

    If you do decide on swapping out the RNSE. I'd like to have a chance to purchase it and likely the speakers from the rs4, I'm assuming it's Bose? Keep me posted thank you in advance.

    Hey Ryan, I'll keep ya posted, finances took a hit and have to backburner the audio project for a short period of time.
