Hey Guys... I was sent a question from a friend and was hoping You could help....

"need help/solutions for something I'd like to do to my car stereo.
First off I have a 2006 Audi a3 FWD manual car with bose symphony sound system. I want to:
A) put in a stock (newer model) navigation head unit. I was hoping that it was just a straight swap but while reading up on it - it seems more complicated then that. Does anyone know what I need, if it's possible? Id prefer not to take it to a shop to do the install and prefer not to go aftermarket as I like the stock look.
Or
B) add in a AUX input. Ive looked on the Internet to see if there is an aux input in the rear of the head unit , but it looks as through I have to buy a AUX input converter. The problem there is, I've found 3 and not sure which one is for my vehicle. The links are below:

Anyway anyone knows the answer??... Thanx in advance Guys

Well, you're kind of effed.. Poking around with a Bose system is not generally a great idea for an enthusiast. I'd suggest taking it to a pro but since you are dealing with a factory deck, I doubt they will be of much help. Aside from trying to make it work with the Bose system you would also need to transfer all the navigation related items from the donor car, making this even harder. IMO this is a big project and your only hope of success is to find someone who knows Audi electronics very well.
