Does anyone have any similar advice for my 2003 Audi Allroad? thanks HiI had an 03 Allroad too and tried everywhere to get it converted. In the end, no one in NZ can help you, the Sat Nav is a waste of effort due to no NZ maps available for Audis. The best you can do is throw a FM band expander in. I did find out that you can pick up used radio and maybe TV tuners from wrecked Allroads in Europe. Try doing a search on eBay Germany or UK for it. Landed cost was about $NZ 700 to convert so I decided it wasn't worth it and save up for the newer model. FYI the latest Allroad does have TV working but still no programable radios - I have to put in a band expander again. The price we pay for cheaper Jap models Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has it been 1 month already since your last car Wife's car so I don't have any pics on the PC ... that being said, they are brilliant towing cars with the self adjusting shocks etc so I do use it a bit.
