RE: Audio 5KCSTQ

["merlin" <merlin@ameritech.net>]

In my 96 A4q, I have an Alpine 7558 cassette receiver/cd changer controller
that I changed from orange to red illumination along with a chms-604 cd
changer in the glovebox with two quart 6.5's, a 4 and a tweet in EACH front
door and I took apart a whistler 2290 remote radar detector and put the
display where the trip computer display would normally go...

I can't stand my f**ng stereo anymore.. It sucks -- the thing doesn't stay
on for 2 minutes before it flakes out an shuts off..  It's awful.. I'm not
sure what I need to do.  I've heard that it's NOT a real good idea to put
anything but a stock or OEM 'Audi Design' unit in -- because I could wind
up with some SERIOUS electrical issues if I do.

   Is this true?!?  Assuming that it is true -- has anyone popped the
Blaupunkt OEM set in?  They have 2 at BLAU --- one's $200 the other is $270
or something -- and them you can buy the CD changer for another $500.

I need some advice on this one.  I have an Alpine in my 4KSQ -- and it is
now being accused of causing some seriously annoying electrical
deficiencies.



Q:  Has anyone used anything else besides the Audi design or OEM cassette
deck in?  If so, are there any limitations?



I'd love to spend a grand on a kick-ass CD system and beef up the ol'
10-speaker system, but I won't if it's going to be rejected like a bad
heart transplant!

Any recommendations here?  I know for a fact I'm not even going to attempt
putting the new one in..

TIA,



Richard
