Default Which wiring harness for aftermarket unit?

Hi,

I'm thinking about replacing my headunit. My current factory system is the Bose Symphony 6-disc system ('03 A4). I've read other posts where people have used the Metra 70-1787 and lost functionality of either the front or rear door speakers. Is there a concensus opinion on what adapter that I can hookup to a new Kenwood unit without any wiring mods or lost functionality? I'm just looking to plug and play! No new subs, no new amps, everything factory but the deck. Thanks for your input.

I know the RNS-E systems uses a different adaptor for the Symphony, There's another place that does a lot of aftermarket electronics. I posted a question here for the RNS-E and didn't get any hits. Anyways if you go here you can look through and maybe find an answer. I know the loss of functionality is because the wrong harness is being used. It also matters a lot if you have a Bose system or not. Good luck. I know there's a new systems with touch screen that Kenwood sells, I'm not a fan of touch screens.

Hey guys, thanks for your replies. Let me poke around on those sites and see what I come up with. Alot of these adapters are if you're adding Nav or already have Nav. I'm just trying to simply upgrade the head unit to an aftermarket stereo...hopefully I'll come across the right one.
