Cheers Nigel, I thought I might have saved myself a few hundred quid on my future job there, ah well, nearly
Had a chance to read through better, basic understanding is that you have to
- Switch out the upper and lower amps
- Reconnect the two FAKRA cables on the old lower amp to the new lower amp
- Connect the two new amps using the yellow three wire loom (that you have to make)
- Connect the FAKRA cable that was connected to the old upper amp to the new 3rd FAKRA connector on the new lower amp
What I am missing is why you need two new FAKRA cables, one 0.3m male to male and a 1.5m extension cable? Implies you are making two new connections, but not sure what to what? Had assumed these were to allow you to run the FAKRA lead from the upper to the lower amp without un-picking the loom, but why two separate cables?
Welcome to the site Mikkel.
That's normal for newer 8P's, can still mod the car for this antenna system, did you buy the kit or you wanted one supplied?
The new amp has 3 connectors, you connect to one of them as per the guide above, you dont need to worry about the grey cable.
me does the satnav take this into account if a road is blocked or do u have to manage the re-routing yourself?
Iv got all the bits listed and I may be missing something, my repair wires are 60cms long however the loom needs to be longer without sounding too thick how do I achieve this?
You have to cut the repair wires in half and then add some extra wire in the middle to make them longer.
