Can anyone advise me if it's possible to connect the Audi IPod glovebox insert to a Head Unit that has a USB input on the back? My local ICE retailer installed an Alpine HU for me and I said I needed to retain the iPod connectivity. They disconnected the glovebox connection and just ran a...

I have just installed an Alpine head unit with iPod connection on back (usb). I would like to source a cable that will connect to the existing iPod connection in my glovebox rather than having a loose cable lying about. Does such a cable exist? Thanks, DAVE

If so, would like to hear from you via PM. Got one that took tumble c/o daughter and a small piece has become detached. Cannot see where it 'lives' so if you have an SII with top panel off would like to hear from you!!!

Here's the link to a picture of the item... PutPhoto Can anyone trace where this bit goes? Thanks!

I have a SII in my A3 - recently obtained through a mate who was upgrading. When I connect it it says there is a CD ERROR. No CDs in the unit and I managed to remove the top plate which reveals a small piece of injection moulded white plastic about 1cm square lying loose by the CD selection...

Thanks! Hope they are. Buying amp and speakers next week so they had better be!

Read something on another ICE forum that indicated that the 4 pre-outs on the Symphony head unit are non-operational. Is this right? Dave Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI 140

Going on hols soon and just looked at headlights on my A3. No markings on glass to show where to put the masking so I don't dazzle traffic when driving on right! Any ideas? It would be great if there was a switch but can't find one...

Thanks. Looks like it's back to plan A - the boot! Better buy a mile of cable!

I've already got a Symphony II coming in the post but want to use the pre-outs to connect to an amp that drives all 4 spkrs

Having a think about ripping out my VERY basic set up (Chorus + front speakers) and installing different HU, amp and speakers in all 4 doors. I see that the preferred location for the amp is at the back, behind the offisde boot panel. Seems this will incur lots of extra cabling (power from...

Well, I've been mulling over the very helpful comments from members to my questions and have reached a decision! Having won a Symphony II+ on eBay I see this as the project for the car. Comments appreciated! Fit Symp and connect pre-outs to a modest amp - say 4x100w - which I will locate in...

In view of work involved I think a visit to my local ICE shop is called for! I think a power amp (4x100W) will be enough which I can connect to the Symphony's 4 pre-outs. Sub isn't required.

Thanks for your help. I think I'm going for a 4x100w amp powering speakers in the 4 doors. I see that the rear connections allow you to use 4 pre-outs rather than the 2 front outputs. Was worried that if HU only throwing out 20w pc then power amp will be pushing too much into rear pair so better...

Thanks S8Craig. So, as I understand it, it doesn't matter if you have a Chorus or a Symphony HU in your vehicle - that HU only drives the front speakers. If you want 4 speakers, you need to add an amp and/or subwoofer, the amp driving the rear speakers/sub. Are wiring looms for this readily...

Rats! Just bought a mint Symphony III on eBay for £102 thinking this would solve the problem. So I had better source a subwoofer then! Bit odd for Audi to have this set up isn't it - or is it the norm? Ref the JL Audio speakers that you recommend for the front (assumin I move the fronts to...

Just bought a 2011 A3 Sportback with the cheap as chips d/din Chorus. Have established only front speakers fitted and don't want Bose set up. What are options? Would a Symphony II work with the wiring as it is and what do you recommend as speakers for the back? Having seen the front ones I...

Hello there! I'm just entering my first week of Audi ownership. I have a 2011 A3 TDI SE Sportback with the basic Chorus HU. Appears there are no rear speakers! Considering a 2nd hand Symphony (via Ebay) but can I ask.... 1) Is it likely that there are speakers in the back of the car - just not...
