Default Will a TT Concert II Head Unit work in a 99 A4?...long

There have been a couple up for sale on Ebay. They seem pricey for just a CD player/radio - $200+ and there are a ton for sale on Ebay.de. I just bought a used '99 A4 and the prior owner trashed the OEM concert I radio installing an Alpine HU that looks like crap. Just wondering if I could replace it with the Concert II unit which is nicer and then I wanted to add either a Phatbox of Ipod interface. Any compatibility problems with using the Concert II? Also if I buy a Concert I HU with no radio code amd I screwed? Can the code be recovered from the radio S/N? TIA

Default short answer: yes

long answer: yes, however, you will loose a couple of minor features, and it will need to be modified so that it illuminates. check the tech articles, i think there is a writeup.

Default You need a CANBUS adapter

I have a Concert II in my 1999.5, and with the adapter it works fine.

Default Where did you get you adapter?

I was going to do this about a year ago and the only place I could find an adapter was ebay Germany. I figured the price of the adapter plus radio wasnt worth it.
