Hi,

I am finally done with earpieces, headphones and 12V adapters. I need a technology upgrade, as I currently have the OEM Bose system in my 2003 RS6.

First Question: Any experience with Aftermarket systems? I looked at the Kenwood and Alpine's. Alpine even has an 8" screen that might work. Any Pics?

I am also Considering the Audi RNS-E's but they are not touch screen and smaller. I was also told by someone that if i just changed the head unit the system would sound worse than it is because of the fact that the OEM deck has some special tuning. Any feedback advice or experience appreciated

Second question.

Who would you trust in the Seattle area to install. Its just swapping out the head unit so Car Toys popped into my head ,, fast and cheap but my level of confidence was not increased after my visit. Anyone have experience with them? Any other suggestions.. limited budget :-)

thanks in advance
