Still can't seem to find the problem :(

I will have a look tomorrow bud, would of thought that it would happen all the time if it was though?

Anyone have any ideas?

Got an issue with my 2007 a3 with the bmn engine. Had the clutch and cambelt done on my car, since then I've been having a few troubles, and the lad that did the work is on holiday for the next couple of months so he can't look at it. Car runs perfect when engine is cold, but once up to...

All that was missing from the cable I had was a wire for the remote switching of the amp, as soon as I connected a cable up between the headunit and the lead its been working fine. Maybe you have the wrong lead?

I'll give it go thanks mate. Think I need a new speaker in drivers door because it doesn't work even though the passenger one does. But if this lead sorts the problem with the rears it won't be as much of an issue. I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow

Ok mate I'll have a go, the one that's in halfords has 4 iso plugs, I take it I plug the 2 rear ones into the back of the stereo? And just connect the remote wire up and it should work?

I'll try it again tomorrow, I did try it last week but it didn't work! And on the box it said Bose but I can't see the wiring being different just the make of equipment? Does only 1 of the 3 coloured blocks get used then? As there are only wires coming off one part of the red connector block...

Don't really want to cut the existing loom if I'm honest, less to go wrong I'd rather buy the proper lead. Am I right in thinking the missing remote cable off the adapter is causing the problems?

looks like i have the pc9-401 lead, but mine doesnt seem to have to blue remote cable off the red plug, could this be why my speakers dont work? if ive read correctly the rear speakers are powered from the amp in the boot, which if the amp isnt getting the remote to switch it on they wont work...

i tried that lead from halfords yesterday and had the same problem, my head unit only has 1 set of pre outs but the lead had 2, and no matter which ones i plugged in only the front speaker worked.

hi guys, this has probably been answered a few times, but i have been searching and cant seem to find the answer. my 1998 A3 1.8T has the non bose sound system, it does have the nokia sub and amp in the boot. bought the car without a stereo fitted, but it does have an adapter, however when i...
