Anyone recommend where to get one in the uk / or willing to ship to the UK?

I've googled it but the first few sites all vary in price then link to the same site who don't pick up the phone!

They quoted me ?500 fitted and programmed a few months ago.


These pop up new on e-bay at around ?300 now and again, web-shop prices are around ?360.

I'll give you a shout if I find any bargains, let me know if you find any.


Here's one from my local Audi dealer = http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dension-Gateway-500-music-interface-Audi-BMW-Mercedes_W0QQitemZ230373646838QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item35a356e1f6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Cheers, I saw that link on fleebay! I'm hoping the group buy here (See the Group buy section) is still running as it will work out the cheapest dependant on postage to the UK. Will keep you posted if it is or if I find a cheaper supplier.

Why not fit it yourself? it doesn't seem that hard from reading the posts / instructions... you may need your Idrive coded if you don't have mp3 playback..

Don't forget you may also have to pay customs & excise duty on top if you import one.

I phoned the dealers this morning to check if the e-bay ad was legit (as they don't sell anything else such as Audi parts etc on the e-bay shop) and it is.

I will fit my own, I was unsure back then about stripping out the trim, head-unit and glovebox etc and cocking something up, but I fitted a Blaupunkt amp a few weeks ago and now I know how easy it is.

Anyone know which Dension would be required for a E60 with only standard radio/cd player and no CDC or sat nav?
