Ben I need to know if your stereo is standard fit or an aftermarket one?

Ron

i think it's a standard fit one, very common one (single "deck"). "Ronny" ¦b¶l¥ó news:6QsYa.1269$ snipped-for-privacy@news-text.cableinet.net ¤¤¼¶¼g...

The standard fitting when I bought my A4 in 1996 was the Sony XR-6459. Upgrades were available to XR-C420RDS, XR-C510RDS, XR-C620RDS, CDX-5090, CDX-5290RDS, CDX-600DSP or MDX-C150RDS. If Ben has an original in-facia CD player, then it would have to be one of the CDX models.

Hello Peter, mine one is XR-C620RDS......
