WERGJust purchased a 2001 Tdi with 64,000 miles.
The original ICE has been swapped out for a Sony unit that lacks functionality with my iPhone 5. I should like to replace this with something fully compatible, allowing hands-free telephony, control of the phone and giving better sound (perhaps after upgrading speakers)
Focusing on the head unit, I wondered if anyone has successfully installed a double-DIN unit in a single-DIN dashboard? On the surface of it there should be enough overall room if the climate-control unit could be relocated into the storage space below it.
Thanks in advance
Colin

I found these on the russian net (or polish could be too) . I am planning to build in a pioneer avic F940BT this summer. ALready in house. I think it isn;t that much problem to do. I build a 2 din in our 2003 ford Ka as well, full functional...

HELLO SIR I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY AUDI A2 2004, I WANT TO REPLACE THE SINGLE DIN WITH THE DOUBLE DIN , THE PROBLEM AM HAVING IS IT SHOW TELEFONE ON THE SCREEN OF THE DOUBLE DIN , DO HAVE ANY IDEA , THANK YOU.That’s basically the set up of of a double din, unless I’m misunderstand what you mean. At the very least you’ll need a double din cage and the bravery to attack your dash.

You are going to be chasing one problem after another. As I explained elsewhere, you are trying to install a Gen1 stereo onto a car with Gen2 wiring. These wiring standards are not wholly cross-compatible.BUT I HAVE OTHERS PROBLEM NOW
no money required as advised please contact @timmus he is best placed to sort out your issues.HELLO RASA2 I CONNECTED TODAY AND I REMOVED THE MUTE WIRE NOW IT WORK BUT I HAVE OTHERS PROBLEM NOW , THE FRONT SPEAKERS NOT WORKING ALSO WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHT IT DOES NOT ELLUMINATE, SEND ME YOUR ACCOINT NUMBER SO I CAN SEND YOU SOME MONEY FOR HELPING ME HOW TO REMOVE TELEFONE,
OK CAN YOU EXPLAIN ME WHERE TO CONNECT THE CABLE TO ILLUMINATE , ALSO THE FRONT SPEAKERS NOT WORNKING WITH THE DOUBLE DIN ,You are going to be chasing one problem after another. As I explained elsewhere, you are trying to install a Gen1 stereo onto a car with Gen2 wiring. These wiring standards are not wholly cross-compatible.
The stereo will not illuminate when you switch on your lights. The stereo will not switch off when you remove the keys from the ignition, meaning it could drain the battery.
In order to solve these problems, additional wiring looms will have to fabricated and installed in the car. If you want the double-DIN stereo to work as intended, there is no avoiding this.
Perhaps you should use a Symphony II stereo (the Gen2 version of the Symphony that you are currently trying to use). This has a radio, cassette player and 6-disc CD player, but is directly compatible with the wiring in your A2.
Cheers,
Tom

Yes, but you will still not have working speakers...CAN YOU EXPLAIN ME WHERE TO CONNECT THE CABLE TO ILLUMINATE
This is another incompatibility between the stereo and your car. It can also be solved, but will only reveal the next problem.ALSO THE FRONT SPEAKERS NOT WORNKING

I cannot put this more plainly: the stereo you are trying to install is not compatible with your car.
You have two options:
1) Convert the wiring in your car from Gen2 to Gen1. This will require the fabrication and installation of additional wiring looms. Soldering and terminal extraction will be required. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, I am happy to do it for you.
2) Install a Gen2 Symphony stereo instead of the Gen1 Symphony stereo. A Gen2 stereo will be plug-n-play with your car's existing Gen2 wiring.
All the best,
Tom
