I'm still pondering on one of these so would be interested to hear your views on sound and build quality.

I'll let you know bud! From what I have seen, it looks far better than any other unit on the market, i personally think the UI looks a lot cleaner than all of the units I looked at in Halfords!

I agree, the look is very OE which will sit nice in the car. It's really the sound quality that worries me. I have the Boss system at the moment and it's ok but the Symphony head unit is kinda basic.

So this just arrived, now I need to work out how to fit it! Could you find any installation instructions online?

So after hours of guesswork I now have it installed and set up, I'm really happy with it! The sound quality after a few tweaks is excellent and I would say better than what I got out of my Rsn-e!

Don't suppose you made a note of the connections ?

Most of the connections are quite self explanatory as the connectors are different sizes and can only fit in the correct slots on the back of the unit.

Once they are fitted connect all the male to female red and white cables (they are all labeled) Then connect the thin blue AMP cable together and you will have audio.

The steering wheel controllers also work which I was really happy about!

Thanks for that, I think I'll get one now. Blame you if it's rubbish lol

Is this unit compatible with non Bose?

I have the previous generation Xtrons PF75ATTAR model and coming from the RNS-E I am a bit miffed about the lack of integration with cars DIS. However that's the trade off for using this over the dated RNS-E. I'd be keen to know what other peoples thoughts are on this lack of integration?

Anyway what I have recently noticed more on mine is the feint noise I get when no audio is enabled (i.e. the radio or MP3 isn't playing). I get what I can only describe as electrical/radio interference. I have disabled both the WiFi and the Bluetooth on the unit and the noise is still there. I am guessing its something in the unit that is poorly shielded but I'm not sure. Its obviously coming from the head unit as if I force the head unit off by holding the power button down the noise stops.
I am not sure how to troubleshoot it?

Could it be a loose connection Andy? If not it might be worth sending [email protected] a message!

I have activated "ok google" from any screen now so it works hands free

The only thing that is annoying is that the music stops when reversing, hopefully there is a fix for this!

did you order the quad or octa core version? Any noticeable lag after a longer period of using it? And do you have factory bluetooth nad if yes - is it working okay with the headunit?

I went for the octa model and used the discount code so it was only about £260 ish! I have unpaired my phone from the audi Bluetooth and now answer calls though the xenonz unit!
