Default More answers...

1. You are right, the gaps on the side in a B5 are much less noticable with an A6 model than an A4. To have it "snap" in place on the factory locking points, I had to trim the bottom of the faceplate slightly. Took me about 15 minutes with a Dremel and some fine-grain sand paper.

2. The color is slightly different, but not noticable in normal lighting conditions. In fact, a friend of mine on here had his OEM Symphony unit replaced under warranty, and it was the same material as is used in the RNS-E's. Audi must have just switched the material they use. Some of those pictures were taken during the day, and some at night, so you can get an idea of the difference from them.

3. I don't have a Phatbox, but it has been reported that it works perfectly with the RNS-E. Same as it does with the Symphony unit. No extra coding or wiring required.

4. The pics were taken at different times during the day (hence the time differences).

5. Yes, they are all seperate components. You can add them in whatever order you'd like, or not at all.

6. I mounted the GPS antenna behind the gauge cluster, but it can really be mounted just about anywhere.

7. There is some wiring involved. Even with a plug-and-play harness, there are some modifications needed for a B5. Depending on the year of the S4, there are slightly different modifications needed.
