Hi everyone. I am curently looking to replace the radio in my 2011 A3. I think the model is Standard concert unit (doesnt have touch screen or navigation)

I am looking to replace with a touchscreen aftermarket unit, without navigation (i use my phone).

I would like to keep my steering wheel controls working.

I want my phone(Android) to play music via bluetooth (seems standard now)and bluetooth calls.

I have been looking all over the place and canot find exactly the info I need.

So far what i have found:

-Some people managed to do this while buying a replacement module that makes the steering wheel controls work?

- I have also read that the newest aftermarket radios while work with the controls by default via CAN Bus ? (do not know what is that).

Any help is greatly appreciated...

I would probably buy a Pioneer or Kenwood..Around 300-400$

 

Bump… I would like to know this info as well. Just started thinking of replacing. Is it worth finding a discounted MMI with Nav for about $900 and save the hassles or have any aftermarket providers solved the integration issues?

 

I would check out the Dension products. They are easy to install and it would allow you to keep the steering wheel controls.
