I saw the write-up for a pioneer d3 in an a4, but what about the a6? Questions inside
I have seen many double din units in both the a4 and a6, i even have both a sosche and metra kit for my 2001 a6, but they are not double din kits, they are two single din slots.
My question is: If i cut out the middle tab it will be slightly larger then the d3 unit is and since neither the sosche or metra kit came with mounting brackets, how will i mount the d3 to my dash? can i just use the kit as the trim piece or will it not fit correctly.
I was thinking of paying a shop to do this for me but if it is something i can tackle myself i would rather do that.
Thanks

Why not just order one from Avincar???
He provides plenty of free technical advice on this forum, and you probably wouldn't only be buying the bracket, but also his technical expertise to a certain degree.

CORRECTION: AU2380B, new improved version.
The 90 is for the A4.
This is the NEW version of this kit. Scosche sells this to AAMP/Bestkits, but the version I got from them was the old one without the 2-DIN plate or the ISO brackets. So get the NEW AU2390 branded Scosche for the time being.
The surface finish is very nice, but VERY inappropriate for the car. It's a sandpaper-looking finish. I'd personally spray this with a few coats of black Plasti-Dip before putting it in my car. (Remember that this process is stinky to high heaven!)
I can't access my photo host at the moment but will post pic later.
