can i upgrade to RNS-E from this chorus? it seems i have to remove the chorus & move aircondition panel down to launch the RNS-E.

You will need a new AC control unit like this one...

is this new AC control unit for supporting RNS-E?
tks for comments
does this mean the AC panel (originally matched 1DIN stereo) will need another bracket to support the double DIN RNS-E?
i got another ebay seller for this item 8E0858005 F, & i suppose this might be the right bracket required for upgrading job.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4645374719&ssP ageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX">http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4645374719&ssP ageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX</a</li><

Symphony > Concert > Chorus
Concert (with single CD Player) and Chorus (with compact cassette) are the single DIN units, Symphony is a double DIN unit like the RNS-E. In the B6 all radios are 2nd generation using CAN to talk to the car, so what you have is a Chorus II.
Electrically the radios all use the same connectors, usual differences are with/without Bose, with/without external CD changer and with/without phone.
To retrofit a double DIN unit you will need a new radio cage and modify (dremel) the A/C unit to fit further down in the center console. You could also get a double DIN A/C unit (get one with/without heated seat to match what you have right now) and move the electronics from your A/C unit over to the new A/C unit. If you want to get it perfect you will also new a new ashtray.
This guide should give you an idea on what's required to get an RNS-E installed:

I went from Chorus to RNS-E - You'll Need All This
<center><img src="http://img416.imageshack.us/img416/4194/rnseplusaccess1ef.jpg"></center><p>Some people cut down their existing climate control (the console tapers in a little at the bottom) - I just replaced it with a new double din climate control..
You will need the double din chassis/cage to mount the equipment (you can see it at the back of my photo).
