New S4 owner with some headunit questions

[MURRAYS444]

Hi I have recently purchased an audi s4 b5 facelift and was wanting some information on what is needed to change the stanard headunit I don't think the car has bose so I should just be plug and play? here is a picture of the headunit on the car just now also I have a CD changer in the boot

Whats the colour of that looks similar to mine LZ9U volcano black ??

 

[MURRAYS444]

Sorry mate its LZ9W Ebony Pearl Effect

 

[MURRAYS444]

Anyone?

yeah its pretty similar in colour the ebony pearl iirc

as for your headunit you will need some fascia trims to fill the gap either side of your new headunit and a suitable block connector lead i dont think you can run the OEM changer with aftermarket headunits but i may be wrong !!

Fascia trims are visible here

Thanks for that I ordered a new headunit yesterday not going to bother using the CD changer. Do you know where to get the facia adapter from and will I need to use a wiring harness to connect it?

Fit these end trims AUDI A4 A6 Car CD STEREO FASCIA SURROUND PANEL TRIM FP-05-03 | eBay

and get a harness for audi to iso and the rear speakers have an amp so need to use the amp wire on head unit to power

When I did this I couldn't get the rear speakers working. You have to switch the breakable connector on the misleadingly (is that even a word?) labeled wire which says something like 'Mute'. There are only two wires on the ISO harness which you can 'break', so it will be obvious when you get it.

Got all the parts I think I will try and tackle fitting the new headunit tomorrow!
