kennega Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Installed last weekend in my 2001 Audi A4. Couldn't be happier so far with the unit. First, let's rip out the old stuff... Run some wires for the microphone... Toss the microphone where the stock mic was located... (works great!) Parking brake wire... Test fit USB cable goes here... mated with Apple Composite Cable (not pictured) Bad picture of the completed install... but you get the point right? Unit runs two RCAs; one to a JL 250/1 amp powering a JL 12w3v2 sub for bass... then another to a PG Octane-R 4.0.2 powering Focal 136K components. If anyone wants pics of that part of the install... let me know and I'll post. Thanks, enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeFromVT Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hey Kennega, Looks great! I have the same A4 that I was thinking of installing the same headunit into. How did it go? Specifically, I'd like to know what you used for mounting brackets, and any additional parts you might have needed. I was a little worried as Crutchfield says it won't fit, even though I knew it would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crisgti Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 how is the reception with the mic in the stock position on the roof? any complaints with people not being able to hear you? Thanks, Cris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kennega Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Sorry I'm late on the replies. The frame kit for mounting is from Crutchfield: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120999105/ ... r-Kit.html It's the Metra kit. I think I paid like $20 + shipping... fit and finish looks good, so no worries there. As far as the microphone reception, it's not bad, could be better, depending who I'm talking to I sometimes need to talk directly at the microphone, so I'm probably going to end up moving it out of there (I get a wicked rattle from it sometimes) and attaching it to the sun visor. We'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dcarlson01 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Quick question for you. I have a 2001 A4 as well. I am installing the f90bt with the 99-9105 metra kit. I have been having a hard time getting it to fit perfectly. I placed the deck in without brackets and front piece in and it fits fine. Then I tried installing just the brackets and front piece. It worked fine. BUT.... when I put them together and try to slide it in, the bottom of the front trim piece will not mount flush as it should. Seems like something is blocking it. Or maybe I am placing the side brackets on wrong. Seems to me though that there is only one way mount them using the holes on bracket. Any suggestions? Did you have to modify either the kit or the sub dash?? Thank u Quote Link to post Share on other sites
