Custom ICE install - South Wales
Discussion
Morning folks, I am looking for someone to install a new double din head unit into my Gen 1 Audi R8. The trouble is that the dashboard on an R8 is made in such a way that fitting a double din is not straight forward. Basically you have to make a custom double din bezel surround or you source a genuine Audi part from Japan like this:-
So who in South Wales should I speak to about undertaking such a job? Even after the bezel is made you have to connect up to the B&O kit and also get all the steering wheel buttons etc working and I also want the DAB, GPS and hands free working like OEM - therefore its probably not a job for your average auto electrician I don't think.
I want the workmanship to be top notch and totally OEM looking so please come at me with some suggestions

Give Waz @ B&B Audio Concepts a call in Penarth Road, Cardiff, near to Porsche Centre Cardiff.
He will no doubt ask you to bring the car in to see it so you might be best off just going there for a quote. But their work is absolutely top notch and I haven't see something they cant do ICE wise.

They sorted the issue with my reversing camera in about 2minutes where other installers couldn't find an issue. Bought a few things from them without issue too, so recommended from me too.WWESTY said:
Anyone got any recommendations of a slightly less top end installer? I would also recommend B&B to the OP but my son needs a slightly more cost effective solution (having got a quote from Waz yesterday!!).
theres no hiding the fact that B&B are genuinely expensive and as much as i hate the saying ''you get what you pay for'' but I think it does apply in these fiddly jobs that require expertise in installation / knowledge of the kit installed / no damage to the car to be honest.I haven’t used him but got recommended to try Lee at Sonic Frontiers a few years ago for an active 3 way install in the Saab. Had a chat over the phone, knew his stuff not cheap though......

Used Uplands (years & years ago) found them a bit rude/pushy.
Not sure if Sextons are still going? Had a couple small jobs done in the past. They were ok.
