Ordered brand new pioneer head unit ... Not yet released comes out at the end of the month...I prepaid already... Soon as it arrives I'll put it in and post some pictures
Am new to this forum and found your helpful post regarding RHD Audi R8 bezel surround from Audi that one could buy. Any idea what it may have cost you back then? Would be great if you could please share the part number for the RHD. Also would you know if any Audi dealership should be able to source it?
Also you mentioned about some PAC steering wheel control adaptor, does that have to be ordered from Audi too or any aftermarket part would work? Excuse the ignorance, just lack of knowledge but really want a aftermarket stereo that actually works and does what I want and is current than the factory one that does nothing.
Yes the trim will work on both right hand and left hand r8....the surrounding trim is same as all r8... I will post a picture up later today... Just finish my install last night
Ok everyone I made it to Audi and here are the part numbers for the trim piece to change your radio head unit to a aftermarket head:
RHD: J42-AE2-C14
LHD: J42-AE2-C12
Here is a picture of my car with the brand new pioneer head unit.... Love this head unit... CarPlay... Bluetooth YouTube songs... 2d and 3D Navi etc....
Well hope I was helpful anyone got questions just shoot me a message
shooted you 2 messages and no answer so far.
At which Audi Dealer did you get it?
My friend is the director of a luxury hotel in Tokio and let his concierge organize this doesn't matter in which location in japan it is and ship it to me in switzerland via internal post. Just posted here or PM me PLEASE.....
Or you can buy it an post it to me in switzerland, I will pay upfront and you are allowed to make some money with it too
I am curious about the steering wheel functions too. if they do work i propose a group buy. I would love to get a better system to replace my existing stereo/nav system.
Steering wheel control is no problem, pioneer has a working adapter. Review camera you can use pioneer version which is much cheaper them oem one and you want to retrofit one if you don't have one. There is an adapter for oem one too. Problem is the B&O connection and I wanna definitly keep this as you have to spent a fortune to get the same soundquality and more space, the radio is the bottleneck for the b&o. try to order the part already via my audi dealer.
Hpaudio maybe have a ready made loom for b&o connection but not confirmed yet
I'm getting this asap. Links to both part and head unit? (Im non B&O). Wonder if I should have local Audi dealer install or the car stereo guys (they probably don't see many R8's)
Also, is that an apple (iPhone) specific head unite? I'm and android guy.
Part numbers are on page 1 of this thread Pioneer headunit is japanese one and not out over here. You can take every Pioneer 2-Din headunit, most of them are android car play and Iphone ready.let yourcar audio.dealer suggest you one that suits you.
Install definitly via car audio guys, technic behind is a3 and you need adapters which they know which one. Your audi dealer has no know how about this....
We have called Audi Japan, they say this is NOT AN AUDI FACTORY PART. Apparently, there are lots of aftermarket items labelled as Audi, kind of like black market Audi parts.
Doesn't matter if Audi Original or not, I desperatly want it. I hate the RNS-E, biegst CAR Audio crap ever.
Where did you get it? Can I still Order it with the Part number you provided?
Ugh, I'm conflicted as I hate the stock system but I don't want to lose my B&O and parking assist.
