It does just seem too weird to be true :)
Seems to be working reasonably reliably now (when an iPod is there!) but the sound quality is shockingly bad with my Nokia 8600 Luna... I'll try another phone and report back.
As far as wiring goes.. I was under the impression that the A4 '04 plate...
No. The Pairing section of the menu isn't selectable even when the phone is paired.
However, after following some advice from a diff. forum I got hold of an iPod Full Speed lead, connected my iPod to the BT box and the BT box to the HU as normal. (rather than iPod connected via USB to the HU)...
so.... appears the sub isn't on at all..
Could it be wired incorrectly?
Here's what I've got..
The red harness is connected to the sub out RCAs on the HU and nothing else.
The wires that where coming out of the amp that where to the speakers I cut and taped up the amp ends and connected...

Couldn't I re-use the existing rear speaker wiring that currently goes into the amp?
If I take the rear speaker wires that are currently being fed from a non amped output on the HU, hooked those up to an amped source (effectively swapping...
hi andy, thanks for the reply (judging from all the replies in the other threads you're the guru :salute: )
So just to be clear...
1. I run two new speaker cables from the HU's (+L/-L) and (+R/-R)
2. I cut the two existing speaker cables that where feeding the amps L+R and insulate the wires...
Hi guys,
Apologies for the long post but I hope this can collate some common questions with some definitive answers :icon_thumright:
