Default Modernizing the B5 interior !

Hi all !!

I live in Europe and I´m probably getting a B5 RS4.. I was going to get the B6 S4, but after seeing an RS4 in detail, I simply love it, but I would want to make the interior look more modern.. is it possible to adapt the B6 parts to the B5 interior ? the parts I was looking to adapt were the Navi plus from the B7, and the b6\b7 A\C controls... is this possible ?? what else can I do ?
I really love everything about the B5 RS4 over the B6 S4, minus somethings in the interior.. if I could work this out it would be perfect...

Thank you to all !

Dude the interior is great, the 380hp and tons of potential will make you forget the interior.

Default The B5 Nav can be installed for sure. The B6 Nav is still

I am not sure whether you can retrofit the A/C controls from a newer car. I think it only depends on how much money you have to throw at the project.

Default The climate controls in the B6 S4 suck

The temperature is never right and imo the B5 is better, hell a toyota corrolla has better a climate control system.

Default I would actually gut the climate control if I could and just rely on good ol' fashioned rotary *****

Much sportier and more ergonomic, IMO.

Default ugh, change anything else, but keep the three vent buttons

I like the full control better than a **** with a few presets.

Default Dude, no way. You can get exactly the same permutations with a rotary ****. There are only 6

possible permutations. I hate the 3 vent buttons. Couldn't figure them out the first time I got my car.
