Finally got around to having these installed / hardwired.

That came out really nice. Very clean!

Props on rowing with the 6MT.

wrap your unit trim piece in some maching aluminum and it would look hot. I did that with my z1 in my audi and it's a great piece which makes the whole interior come together as one.

Elohite,

I'm wondering how you did your mounting into the dash. It looks like a regular Audi Metra Double-Din with something on the inside?

Audi has the best looking interior of any car IMO

Nearly perfect....

...the one thing you forgot to do was mimic the aluminum/chrome trim that was built-in along the bottom of the Audi Symphony radio to seperate it visually from the climate controls.

Here's what I did back when I had a D3 installed in my Audi A4:

I bought a roll of stick-on chrome trim at an AutoZone, and I cut a segment to fit along the bottom of the Metra fascia.

It looked like a perfect match to the Audi factory aluminum/chrome trim. Everyone thought it was a factory install...

If I can find a photo of my install, I'll post it here.

I would love to see those pictures. I am in the market for a used 07-08 A4 and would be putting an F900BT in it. Just having trouble finding the car i want...

Elohite, does you audi have the Bose or the standard Symphony system (or aftermarket)? How does it sound with the D3 now? I'm in the market for an A4, and i found a 06 that is exactly what i want. It has the standard Symphony system, and im just wondering what i should expect from it with a new head unit. My VW has the monsoon system, which sounded terrible with the stock headunit, but now sounds terrific with my D3. I LOVE to crank my music. I love a nice clear, full sound, with good bass, and i feel no need to upgrade any components of the monsoon system. I'm hoping the symphony will be equally impressive with a new HU.

Looks good. That's a great detector too. I have one hardwired as well. Only mine is on the opposite side of the mirror.

Here's what my AVIC-D3 install looked like in my Audi after I added the chrome trim underneath the fascia/faceplate...sorry for the cell phone quality photo...
