Phatnoise Q

$400 at the dealer (believe that includes installation).

How difficult is the installation? Is it possible to buy one elsewhere and
install it yourself? If so - any suggestions as to where to find one?

TIA

I fitted mine myself, into a 2000 S4. Piece of ****. The hardest bit
was getting the CD changer out.

Can you only get this at the dealer then?

If not, where?

Audi/PhatNoise have a marketing agreement whereby the Audi version of
the PhatBox is only available through Audi channels. Under this
agreement, PhatNoise are not permitted to market the Audi version
directly or through other retailers.

If you want an Audi PhatBox, you must go to an Audi dealer.

Or eBay.

Since I'm in the UK, Audi over here don't even know what I'm talking
about when I say Phatnoise (or at least they didn't last year when I
got mine). I bought it from a guy in the US on eBay last year (called
"vwaudiparts"), but he doesn't seem to have any others for sale at the
minute. Other people do though.

They certainly should do now. The PhatBox has been available through UK
Audi dealers for a little while now. Do be aware, though, that the
company name is PhatNoise - the device you wanted is a PhatBox.

Do you know how much UK dealers are charging for it ?

Thanks

The commonly quoted price seems to be around £700, but I believe that
this includes installation.

Thanks for the info. I think it may be significantly cheaper to source it
from the US and do the necessary things to make it work and install it
myself.

An example.
