So my headunit that came with the car is a little fucked, it would place CDs until track 11 perfectly, then on track 12 it would start to break up, and would get progressively worse. I also found that there was a buzzing sound coming from the unit even when off. If I hit the side of the center console, it would stop. Little to my knowledge, after replacing the unit, it is the climate control unit in the center console that is buzzing lol. Fuck. This install should take like 10 minutes or less, making the tools is however long it takes you.
I followed this DIY to make me radio tools; http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?p=1600151
Ghetto tools that work
OEM radio removal tools are about $15USD. Just becareful when using the tools, it is a good idea to test them on the new radio to see how they work. The top clips have a little gap at the top, so the tool kept sliding past it and would not clip, so I had to play around with them to get them to work easy. Oh yea, these are from hanging folders.
Boxes from ECS Tuning
White box has the radio, brown box has the valve cover gasket and magnetic drain plug. Shipping was $48 USD!
OEM Symphony Radio I

Just gotta switch the face plate
2 screws on each side and little clips at the top and bottom and off it comes
Just switch the face plates and pop it back in.
Working CD player past track 12!
Apparently, as you can see by the stickers on the radios, the new one is for an A6. The actual unit itself is the same one, just different face plates.
Simple install.
