Radio Installation Dash Kit
A radio installation dash kit will take the Audi specific opening in your dash and convert it into a aftermarket radio industry standard opening.
Enfig RMK8-A4B67 This is the best kit available for a double din radio.
The matte coating matches texture of the Audi dash. The face of the kit also acts as a trim kit for a seamless look. The depth is also adjustable for full custom adjustment.

Enfig RMK4-A4B67 is the single din version of the kit above.
Antenna Adapter
The correct antenna adapter is the Enfig AAA-VWAUD5

The connectors on your factory antenna cables behind the radio are different that the standard antenna connection behind most aftermarket antennas. Your factory antenna also has a built in amplifier. The blue wire connects to your new radio to turn on the amp.
Radio Harness
You will also need a radio harness. The radio harness will connect the power and audio wires from your new radio to your car without cutting the factory wiring.
The best radio harness is the Enfig SRWH-AUD3 http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_SRWH_AUD3.html
This harness will connect to the following wires behind your radio: constant power, ground, switched power, illumination, VSS, Reverse, speakers amp integration for Bose and non Bose systems including an amp turn on wire. This unit will also integrate your steering wheel controls with combined with an SWCL. For a more detailed description read below.
You either have a Bose or non Bose audio system. In both systems the rear speakers and subwoofer are amplified by the external amp. In the Bose system the external amp also powers the front speakers. In the non Bose system the front speakers are amplified by the radio.
, ground & front speaker wires (in a Bose audio system all the speakers run through the amp, in a NON Bose audio system only the rear speakers and sub woofer are amplified)
The following wires are done by your cars can-bus system and cannot be utilized behind the radio without a can-bus reader. The Enfig SRWH-AUD3 reads the can-bus and generates the following wires:
Illumination: This wire tells the radio to dim when you turn on your headlights so its not a bright eyesore at night.
Vehicle Speed Sense (VSS): This wire will tell a navigation radio how fast you are going if you lose the GPS signal. The radio will calculate how far you have traveled on the current road in order to keep you on track in you ever lose GPS signal. Comes in really handy when coming out of the NYC side of the Lincoln tunnel.
Reverse Wire This wire will tell the radio when you are in
reverse and send a +12v signal to tell the radio to turn on the back up screen and back up camera.
Switched 12v RAP (Retained Accessory Power) retained accessory power wire turns on when you turn the key and stays on until you pull out the key. Most harneses will tutn off the radio as soon as you turn off the key. It will also give you your illumination, , reverse (gives you a 12+ signal when you put the car in reverse to activate a back up cam) wires.
Steering wheel control option. If you add an Enfig SWCL (Steering Wheel Control Lead) to the SRWH-AUD3 the SRWH will also allow your cars steering wheel controls to control most aftermarket radios.
