Agreed, but unfortunately it's an absolute nightmare retrofitting a
changer to a TT because you have to rip out a lot of the interior.
Definitely a factory fit job! OTOH, I fitted an Alpine changer to my
A4 for £150, and it took about half an hour - including metal-bashing
to extend the bracket for the bigger changer.


Forget using a changer. Get a head unit with an aux input and use
a hard drive mp3 player. My 20G player holds just under 400 albums.

Well, I guess that in a car environment, sound quality isn't really
that much of an issue..................

no ****, sherlock.

For £400 (about $US600, right?), you can do a *hell* of a lot better with an
alpine head unit and infinity speakers.

Possibly (or not), but the Bose upgrade system is specifically
tailored to each Audi model, including preset multiband EQ.

And $25 worth of speakers marked up 900%.

No EQ can compensate for paper cone drivers and missing tweeters.

And a functioning brain......................
grow up.

I will when you do...... :-)

Perhaps you're not aware that many of the best available speakers have
paper cones, and that the Bose upgrade certainly does have tweeters?

They have paper cones impregnated with a strengthening agent. Plain paper
speakers are only seen on applications where spending more than $5 on a driver
is deemed a waste, such as TVs =13", clock radios $30, PCs and bose.

If you *had* a functioning brain, you'd be aware that Bose
manufactures lots of weatherproof drivers for car audio, none of which
have 'plain paper' cones. You'd also be aware of the fact that you
conveniently sidestepped - Bose upgrades for Audis do have tweeters.
Basically, you have no clue what you're talking about, which is pretty
much SOP for you, TCS.

I have various different speakers with Kevlar, Bextrene(?), Polythene and
paper/pulp drivers. The paper cones are the most satisfying with 'my' type
of music by far......

MMP works for me, at home. Car has paper.

He's quite an obnoxious t**t this Stewart Pinkerton, isn't he?! Some of the
comments and criticisms he makes are quite abusive IMHO.

To be fair, the new V6 TT includes pretty much everything as
standard - the only extras are things like cupholders, the Bose
stereo and cruise. I do a lot of motorway driving so need the
cruise but it
*is* a shame it's about the only thing they don't offer as standard

Hmmmmmmmm. Sorry, but we live in Leicestershire and have family in
North-East Scotland. We go 'oop north' in the A6, not the TT. The A6
3.0 Quattro Sport does have cruise control, and it's a quiet and
refined cruiser, which the TT is not.

....as I mentioned ealier, when compared to my Caterham the TT is a
paragon of silence and refinement :-)))) This is getting a little OT
for here; see you in rec.autos.audi :-)

Perhaps, but they are also accurate..................

What *I* find obnoxious, are ****s who spew ******** without having
any clue what they are talking about.
