rso81 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hello, My installation appointment is tomorrow! I will post pics of how the dash currently looks, prior to the upgrade to the almighty 8000NEX... Behold the ugliness of all those buttons/knobs, and the retro CD-Changer on the glove box. Yes, that is in fact a cd changer, not a DVD changer... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drenyce311 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Nice . Cant wait. Ill be taking pics and videos of my whole install. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rso81 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Car's in the shop! I told them that if they can't get the steering wheel controls to work, put it back together, deal's off...otherwise proceed! They're using an interface module made by PAC Audio for Audi's, the RP4-AD11. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ccajay Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 We had some issues with the pac steering controls. There is a new version of them that works better, but honestly I would ask them if they will install the Maestro part for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rso81 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Maestro won't work with Audi (yet). They have just verified buttons are working as they should, so I gave them the go-ahead. In the future, should Maestro work with Audi after a firmware update....I'm changing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GHII Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 If you look the Maestro isn't compatible but their standard harness is..go here http://www.idatalink.com/ and select what Audi you have and it will show you what it can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rso81 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Eh.....it's already moving forward. Oh well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rso81 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 It's installed. Pics coming soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rso81 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Here is the end result of yesterday's installation. It looks significantly better than Audi's stock nav radio (also a lot less buggy, believe it or not). I also included a photo of the backup cam. Behold it's tininess!

GHII Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Nice! I used to be an Audi man...TT traded for A6...and A6 for Q7 until the Q7 wasn't big enough to hold our growing family..When they make a Suburban like vehicle we'll be back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
949 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 i just test drove the new A3 sedan. cant wait to see the s3 for america in a few months. all the new cars coming out now have thier own dedicated navi system which will make upgrading in the future near impossible.

rso81 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!?!? That's the first thing I thought! And they use the same lame interface my TT had (obviously with a few upgrades here and there....such as BT Audio) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
koush Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 What is the sat nav software is it running? Koush Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sofakng Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm interested in finding that out too, but I thought Pioneer wrote their own software but used NavTeq maps. Also... are you Koush from Cyanogenmod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rso81 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Can't say that I know. I am having some issues however, with the steering wheel control module. There are some flaw here and there (nothing major), so I have to ask.....if I were to look into a Maestro SW module, how would I get that to work, if my car is not listed on their website?
