Also, do I need to make some specail bracket to mount 5 1/4" in the doors? I have Bose system and plan on replacing the entire system with aftermarket goodies.
Joboo believe it or not the radio harness to connect to aftermarket headunit without splicing cable is the same for Audi, VW and MB.
I got my at www.peripheralelectronics.com
This is the part number for the radio harness BHA1784
and you will need adapter for Antenna radio AADP7
[edit: you could get them online at www.autosoundgear.com. Calle them up ]
As for your front door Bose system uses 4" midbass driver with very unique enclosure.
To be able to fit it 5.25" or 6.5" driver on the front door, you will need to buy a special adapter.
I got help from Koolvin to obtain the adapter for 6.5" driver.. (he is in UK btw... Thanks again Mate )
