No im afraid your gonna need to get at least the ISO (which varys on if you got Bose, Quad or normal sound system) a Signal Booster (I did not have one for awhile but after getting bored of CDs you REALLY need one!) and Facia but also you need a Can-Bus thing which I can't remember what its called but I don't have it. Its just a part that reconises that your turning off the car and turns off the HU and turns it back on when you put the ignition on. But that part alone is about 40quid (that I have been able to find so far!) so I have left that for now as I prefer to sometimes drive in silence and turning it off manually doesn't bother me that much :)

Hope this helps you but what ever you do make sure you get the right ISO as I had the wrong one for about 2months untill I realised that the back speakers were not working but the SUB was -.- lol

Thanks for your help mate,

Sorry if these questions seem stupid but i baught my A3 second hand. How do i know if i have Bose, Quad or Normal sound system cheers
 
not 100% but a good way to check if its bose is to look at the speaker covers in your door. i know mine have a silver strip with Bose emblazened on it
