OK so I got my Phatbox and took the aluminium cover off to give it the smallest size it could be. It doesn't fit in either of the top two sections of the glove box but might fit upside down in the lower section. It may be OK the right way up if I manufacture a replacement cover and use...

Hi My current 3 door A3 (2005) has underseat storage which is a kind of hinged triangular section. You pull the front down and the unit is hinged at the bottom with a back at about 90 degrees to the front. The old A3 (2001) had pull out drawers under both front seats which were actually decent...

Hi It seems to be as it's Type 'O' on the head unit guide here http://www.phatnoise.com/downloads/3301-husetup_web.pdf At least I am hoping so as I have a chorus 2.

Not a bad bit of kit but, to be honest, the likely cost of that would make it better to buy a replacement glove box interior to fit it into and keep the original for when the car gets sold.

Rear parcel shelf would have the same problem as the boot area for me.

Hi I have a 2004 A3 3 door. I have only ever seen pictures of installations of a Phatbox in the boot and in the glove box. As I tend to carry a lot of guitar gear/amps etc in my A3 boot I don't want to surface install in there for fear of damaging it. The side panels are one piece (unlike my...

Cool. Better get one of those then.

Hi Thanks for the info. Just so I don't get it wrong, I assume that you are saying I remove the black 20 pin plug and put that into the red part. Then the blue plug goes into the existing socket with the yellow and green. Like the CD changer on my old car - here Is that right? Cheers D

Hi I have the lead with the Phatbox connector at one end and a blue eight 'socket' connector and earth lead at the other. Can anyone let me know where this goes on the rear of the Concert II as I couldn't work it out. If you need me to post pictures of what I have, let me know. Cheers D

Hi Copy of post in A3 forum - should have put it here first!) Just got a 2004 A3 TDi SE and it has the standard single CD head unit and speaker system. Not bad in most peoples view but my old A3 has a six CD changer and the famous Any Mac stealth sub system! Are there any upgrades I can do...

Thanks Dunk Just need to find a Phatbox for sale at a reasonable price. Cheers Duncan

Hi I have no changer at present so is this still OK to operate? Also is there anywhere it can go out of the way - I'm always carrying guitars, amps etc around so don't need stuff that protrudes into the boot space. Cheers

Hi Just got a 2004 A3 TDi SE and it has the standard single CD head unit and speaker system. Not bad in most peoples view but my old A3 has a six CD changer and the famous Any Mac stealth sub system! Are there any upgrades I can do to this car? I thought about another multi changer but have...

Andy Quick reply so you don't think your quote has scared me off. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do anything else as my Father has been taken into hospital. Once things are sorted, I will have another look at things and, if I get no joy, I would like to take you up on your offer of...

Andy What sort of money are we talking of for the upgraded gear? Is it worth doing anything else at the same time? What sort of time frame are you looking at? W

Andy Sound like you have the A3 systems sussed. I will do some testing with the meter tonight to see if I can find problems with the ground/remote on/positive. Couple of daft questions - What is the 'screen' on the multi plug diagram? I assume the '+12v' will be the standard battery voltage...

Thanks for the info and pic Andy I will dig out the old multimeter and give it a shot. If the power supplies/ground are OK, is it likely that one faulty rear speaker could stop all three functioning? If not, is there anything I can test at the head unit out to check it isn't a front to rear...

Hi This is a first post by a new user so let's hope it's OK. Here goes... I have a 3 door 2001 A3 with a standard (non Bose) sound system with a sub in the nearside boot locker. I have a problem with losing all of the rear sound. It started as an intermittent fault but has progress to being...
