    ground issue???

    Thanks. I have already tried cleaning up the terminals on the battery. I wondered whether anyone could point me towards the major earthing point that people keep referencing under the battery tray... I will try an extra ground, initially with a jumper lead at idle to see if it improves...

Recently the radio has starting switching off randomly whilst driving, and then switching on again. As...

    Rear wiper motor wiring...

    Thanks for all the info everyone. Sorted! I managed to check the wiring from the car loom and confirmed that it worked. Note to anyone else doing this; you need to have the boot closed (or microswitch by-passed) to properly check the functioning of the loom. It took me a few attempts before I...

    Rear wiper motor wiring...

    Thanks for the replies Boycie. I have thought about removing the rear wiper completely. Where did you get your parts from for this? In reality though I would really like to keep my rear wiper/get it working. So any info on the wiring details would be appreciated...

    Rear wiper motor wiring...

    My rear wiper has never worked in my 2004 A3 8p. I decided it was time to try and fix it... I can hear the relay behind the dash when I activate the steering column switch. I took the rear trim out in the boot to reveal the motor. Used my ball joint splitter to remove the actual wiper arm. I...

    Audi A3 with BOSE, telephone input?

    I have finished installing this system now and can confirm that the mute pin MUST be activated to allow the TEL+/- pins to transmit a signal to the front speakers. This also works with my BOSE system. Thanks for all the help!

    Audi A3 with BOSE, telephone input?

    Great s8craig, thanks for the reply. This is exactly what I am planning on doing but wanted to know if it would work and route the audio to the speakers, as I have BOSE so there is nothing attached to the speaker out ISO on the back of the HU? I am going to try this anyway, just wanted to...

    Audi A3 with BOSE, telephone input?

    Hi NHN, Thanks for the speedy reply. Unfortunately I don't have a MFSW fitted (and can't justify the cost) so the OEM bluetooth is not an option for. I have also considered the fiscon setup, but for similar reasons I cannot justify the cost. I seriously considered one of the...

    Audi A3 with BOSE, telephone input?

    Hi, I have an 2004 Audi A3 with the single DIN concert II HU and BOSE. I am looking to fit a bluetooth kit. I am planning on using the 10pin ISO connector to connect to the Mute and Telephone +/- inputs. I have read on a number of forums that the mute pin will silence what ever is playing...
