Thanks for this video! Connected my a3 as well. I had previously installed an aftermarket headunit with aux and bluetooth connections, but the rear speakers and sub were not working. I know that it was a lot of hassle to get the rear speakers and sub working so i decided to put the original headunit back. Thanks a lot
Great help thanks a lot! Sound only seems to be coming out of my right hand side speakers using the aux input? All speakers work when playing CD's and radio, was wondering if this was the case with you as well! Cheers
+Dylan Murray know both my side of speakers worked... if only one side is working it might be a faulty loom or a setting on the radio but as you said it only works it only does that with the auxiliary input which makes me think either a wire is set up incorrectly on the harness or your songs on the device are not set up to play stereo = both sides...but I think prob faulty harness you received..ask for exchange......
Probably a silly question, but is the top input (on the rear that plugs into the red adapter) for the power? I have recently purchased an A3 with this same stereo and would like to listen to my own music. However, i don't have a radio code for it (its been removed from the cars handbook) and am concerned that after paying for this adapter i may have to pay an additional cost to have the radio unlocked. Thanks in advance.
+Gbishop96 not too sure about plugs without seeing it in person...there should be a diagram on the radio too, when I unplugged mine and put it back it didn't ask for code because I believe it will only ask for code if you plug your radio into a car it wasn't coded to ...

+Grant Woods if it's the same as mine it'll work fine! It works on all audi concert 2s as far as the back has the space for the multicoloured plugs to go into...if your car has a cd changer in the glovebox you'll need to remove the cd changer connector from the back of the stereo and plug the connects 2 plug instead...
Yh mate why not. Only negative function is having to control output source if you've got a mixture of kiddie music and your own lol if you're not as unfortunate to share your iPod as me, press shuffle and you're sorted 👍

It only activates once a cd changer (connect box, mp3 box, bluetooth box) is connected as the pins do not have anything to respond to..
I didnt quite get that. Do you mean it will work, or?
yes mate sorry lol, it'll work..just giving you options..

and if it hasnt a cd changer,it also works?
