[s-cars] Phatnoise upgrade write up - Looking for info for pre 95.5

[Dave Ellis]

Thanks Tom!  Interesting write-up.

So, does anyone know what further work would need to be done to install 
a Concert1/Phatnoise into a pre-'95.5 S6 or S4?  Specifically I'm 
looking for info for a '93 S4 (if that's any help).

So far, I know the Concert1 has a wider face plate than the Gamma unit, 
so I suspect there would be a need to change some of the center console 
parts for later parts from a post '95.5 S6.  Looking at ETKA however the 
only difference in part numbers I can see relating to mounting the radio 
is for the power mirror control trim; 4A1 863 324 D for post 95.5 S6 and 
4A1 863 324 F for a S4.  The cigarette lighter trim piece and the actual 
center console insert that the radio slots into both appear to be the 
same.  Does anyone have any additional information on physically fitting 
a Concert1 unit into a S4?

Fitment issues aside, is anyone aware of any electronic/signaling issues 
that would have to be resolved?  Does anyone know what wiring harness 
modifications would be needed to replace a Gamma CC with a Concert1? 

Any information would be useful and appreciated.

Thanks!
-Dave
