    Hi Guys,

    I currently drive Audi A4 1.8 TFSi 120 hp Saloon 2008 Model which is fitted with Audi chorus Stereo. I am looking to get the system replaced with more modern touch-screen multimedia center which can have USB, IPOD, Navigation, Bluetooth etc built in and also preferably supports Android AUTO.
    Can anyone recommend any good place to get this done or has anyone got this done before in Ireland?

    regards
    Akhil

    Did you find what you're looking for? I'm hoping to get something similar. I have an Audi A4 2008 B8 2.0 TDI with chorus stereo also.

    Do you have a budget for this?

    I've added xcarlink plus screen mirroring to my A5 with same system.
    I've now got reversing camera and my phone wirelessly mirrored onto car screen.
    There are similar Devices that incorporate touch function on the car screen.

    Not exactly what you are looking for but its all invisible and plug and play so is a reasonable solution to adding some functionality.

    Nope. The brothers a4 just has a red display. That's what's standard. Not quite sure what model the chorus is, I think that's what he has. Doesn't have MMI

    Certainly the A5 got the colour screen as standard.

    So did they narrow up the screen area as well or leave it full size. It's a pretty big screen to have for that red text display

    I think there was a bigger red screen in other markets combined with nav, but as far as I know we never got that here.

    It also does the climate control display.

    I don't know a huge amount about these, but I think the a4 that has MMI in front of the handbrake has the colour screen.

    I assume the likes of bmstuff could transplant an entire setup, which as far as I know includes a massive amount of extra components dotted around the car.
