I own a 2001 2.5 TDI ar to which I have grown very attached. When we bought it it did not have sat nav but now I'd like to install one (NOT a dash-attached Tomtom, but a proper after market job).
I understand that installing an Audi system would be a very tough process since the car was not sold "sat nav ready" and lacks the wiring, GPS ariel and a whole mess of other stuff.
Can anyone off me some guidance on this?
Many thanks.

There is a lot of expertise out there with installing a Nav+. It's easier than you think. Check out <a href="http://www.nav-plus.com/">nav-plus.com </a> for more info. You could also ping teddybgame for ideas, he is Mr interior mod man on audiworld.

issues, though don't recall the sat part.
I got a head unit from an '04 that's sat ready, found the XM module and other parts on eBay, and had TeddyBeGame build me one of his famous harnesses to interface everything together. All in, less than $450 for everything and it's all factory except for the harness, and that included building the harness to IceLink to my iPod.

If you can find an installer with exp go 4 it, unless you like to tinker
I started paid $1450 in a risky wire ur money txn to Holland, sent wrong harness, + new harness + bad dvd rips + Albainian spyware on my pc
+ pulling dash/cluster/radio numerous times
The whole process took a few months
Would I do it again, absaf*kinlutley, its nicey

The is quite a market in the USA for these units and there are many brokers. As Mentioned the Navplus forum is a good place to go. There are a couple of European brokers that can probably help you out.
