Default Double Din HU

Is it possible to install a double din aftermarket hu in an 03 no bose/navi A4? Is there a receiver kit out there that will work? I found this one for a single din

If I cut out the middle bar, will I be able to install a double?

theres always a way to cram in a double din into car, any damn car. thing is, sometimes it takes a little or a lot of fabrication. post a photo of what your factory headunit looks like and i'll be able to tell you with more certainty.

you can always just connect the wires if theres no harness, thats always a possibility. you can run some additional ones if u need em or trying to do 5.1 in the car. i will actually end up running wires into my doors for my speaker and tweeter separately

I was thinking about doing that but how do I know which wires connect to which wires in the stereo? im guessing the navi system will tell me which colors out of the stereo are which. Can I get a list somewhere that will tell me which color wires in the audi are which (like battery power, radio, etc.)
