Has anyone access to wiring diagrams showing the standard audio system and the ***?
A comparison of these diagrams would indicate the differences and thus give an idea of the work involved to upgrade.

No amp? How then does the MMI work and with 80watts x2 in the std setup, something's driving the speakers.

Note to self. Work out how to upload pictures properly
you can buy an adaptor from the likes of autoleads or celsus which clips into the back of your headunit and gives you either a line level just for a subwoofer or a line level at full range to drive a full range amplifier
"Clips Into the back of the headunit" - it is this that I need more info on. We are talking about an MMI unit of some sort rather than a head unit.
Seems what I want to do has been done on so many vehicles, including Audis but the MMI here seems a different kettle of fish.

So does anything spring forth from the back of it or are there any input/output sockets do you know?
Lol, then you have money to burn - you will never get a sound system in a car that sounds anywhere as good as something for the same money in a decent sized living room. But each to their own.
Thanks - maybe somebody will come up with a way to add a SW at some point - here's hoping !!
Quite honestly I think the only real way to do it is to think very carefully about what you might want BEFORE you place the order for the car. If you think you may want something better than the standard installation he must add the *** or B+O system as part of the order. At £255 for *** and even £790 for B+O neither are that much more on a 20-30k car.
If like me you never listen to music in the car, then there is no point in paying out for something you won't use. The great thing is that Audi give us the choice, but it does mean these days we have to do the research, make the choice and accept what we order. Adding 'bits' after the car has been built can work out very expensive. This does not only apply to the Audio system but to many other components as well.
I agree fully.
But I had no choice when ordering the car as I got a cancellation and it was either a case of waiting the usual 3 months and the cost of hiring a car in the meantime or accepting the cancellation, which was the standard spec A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI SE 122 - it was the engine/suspension I really wanted.
