Hi all.

I have purchased the following fitting kit.

http://caraudiosecurity.com/ctkau02-audi-a4-2002-2006-complete-double-din-facia-kit

The stereo is plugged in and working but I cannot get the rear amp/speakers to work. The RCAs are plugged in and I thought the power running to the AMP would have been through the harness but I guess not. A signal obviously needs to go to the AMP to switch on. I have an AMP con blue/white stripe wire coming from the stereo harness. Should I be connecting this to the car, if so where?
Car is an A4 B7 2006.
Thanks

Yes got it sorted. Everything in the B7 goes through Canbus, I needed to get the correct Canbus adapter for my stereo. As soon as I plugged in the correct adapter to my headunit (not the one which came with the kit) the sub and speakers came to life. My headunit is an Android one (Chinese) so had to get the correct Canbus adapter from the seller.

I got the info from the people who manufactured my stereo. Might be worth asking the seller you got the Pioneer from, Pioneer themselves or one the headunit selling shops on the internet. A lot of them have people on the phone who can point you in the right direction.

Thanks
