95 A5q Radio options

[Eric Sanborn]

I think I posted this a few months ago, but we put the following head unit
in my wife's '03 GTI this summer and she loves it:

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_070XHD7714/Dual-XHD7714.html?tp=5684

It is $170 from Crutchfield (cheaper elsewhere), but it has HD radio, IPOD
controls included with cable, can read straight off a USB thumb drive, CD
with MP3, and best of all it streams audio over bluetooth.  It did require
an adapter for CANBus, but I don't expect that would be a problem for your
car.
