Stereos/Touch Screens for S2?
 
For those with 8's 2009-2011.
Anyone know if you can change the stock stereo in the center dash?

I'm wanting to get one with with a touch screen.
Anyone know of some that are S2 compatible?

Wow thats just what i had in mind and yours looks great.
Question:
Did you need any specific tools when installing?
and how do you do the bypass in order to watch any dvd while driving?

The kit from sonicelectronix.com is 20 bucks and matches the dash perfectly. You can either use it as a single din like I did, or cut the middle out and put a double din in there.

Nope no specific tools, just the metra kit for the 09-10. As far as a bypass its different for each model head unit but on mine i had to move the mute pin over one position, and ground that, and the ebrake wire to common ground.

There are youtube vids. Are you planning on getting the same HU?

Ahh thx for the info :)
Ya i'll probably order the same parts from amazon.
Why do you ask if im gonna get the same HU? is there another one you wished you got instead or is there a problem with it?

PS: What do you think was the hardest or trickiest part when you installed yours? Also are there any USB ports?
