sombutsi Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 No, don't have the night pic yet but IMO it look great. the button red does match audi red. Install was a ratnest to say the least. The microphone is at the location where the bluetooth mic suppose to be and it work great Quote Link to post Share on other sites

betito Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I just got a 2008 A3 and was looking at installing this unit. I have a few questions for you: What's the model of your original car radio? Did you get your steering controls working? If so, what part did you buy? Did you have to get an active antenna adaptor? Where did you get your face plate? Did you resuse your stock speakers? Did you have to bypass any bose modules to get output to your speakers? Did you have to add any special data modules to deal with CAN? Did you have Audi remove the alarm code for the radio? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sombutsi Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Original car Head unit was SymphonyII+ without BOSE The steering wheel control work with volumn up and down, track/station up and down and mode change (which between DVD/Ipod/AM/FM) -> I use CTSA002 make by connects2 from UK. The unit does CAN bus conversion for steering control, speed signal, illuminnation, reverse. No active antenna adapter, I just use adapter from Euro-part.us for FM. I receive both AM and FM so i think it work ok. Face plate was made my Connects2 in UK. I use stock speaker AND Amp. 08TT use car amp for all speaker in the car and not just rear speaker. Essentially it is just like BOSE with less speaker No, you do not need to by pass BOSE module. The headunit have wire to turn on external amp and I just hook that up the line to turn on Amp. See above. CTSA002 by connects2 No need for removing alarm code for radio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
