************ Found the Cause :blackrs4: ***************** So after investigating again, no amount of fiddling with the connector would help. Then I stumbled across another temporary fix. The only reason the connector has an effect is because it's moving the audio wiring loom but I still tried...

Hi again. Nope, the problem still there but over the past many months I have confirmed it is indeed that blasted connector (noise appears intermittently although I have made it go away for weeks at a time by jiggling the connector a bit) I intend to try something more definitive next week and...

Sorry to update this ongoing thread :relaxed:, but the problem returned with a vengeance! I now knew the grounding wire wasn't at fault so I poked the wiring loom going into the Bose Amp gently. The whine disappeared. I poked again, it appeared. Again - disappeared, again - appeared etc etc...

Right, Sorry for the delay in updating this (I've been busy with a wedding to prepare for) but I have FINALLY fixed the problem :footy: So the phono -ve return is attached to the sub -ve return into a single Earth ground spade/connector. I couldn't quite reach to the seat base and the whine...

Hi Simon, thanks for the reply. I haven't been around recently due to shift work (nights on call, 13 hours at a time .... ugh) but going to and from work has certainly allowed me more exposure time with the problem. Unfortunately, I read this too late and have already hotglued the wires in...

Hi simon, thanks for the reply :) I had the same symptoms as you, not only did the whine increase with alternator rpm, but I'd also got added whine when pressing the brake as well as clicks when the indicator was on. I seem to remember about rectifiers from A-Level Physics days but I wasn't...

Hmmmm...can't seem to edit my posts so I'll have to add a new one. So I took everything out of the boot today (baring in mind that the whine seems to have gone), expecting to find a bare negative shield or something that was allowing interference on the wiring like something loose. However...

Hi Simon. No probs :) You have my sympathy. Just had a double storey extension done myself and got a sparky to: replace the old fuse box with a brand new one new fuse box for the extension new wiring throughout the new extension Plumb in all the new sockets for the new rooms rewire the garage...

Same issue, but with an aftermarket active sub install. I piggybacked off the Bose amp's inputs to create the inputs for the sub and am also getting an annoying whine (see my other post). I still haven't managed to trouble-shoot it yet...

@EasyGoingSi, Nope, haven't got to the bottom of the problem yet. In fact, things have just got wierder: I left the car alone for a week and when I got back in, the alternator whine in the main speakers had returned :confused: So I did 1 (Soldered the phono input +ves to their respective...

Turns out I wasn't happy in the end :). Actually, I only put up with them for about a week more because the problem with your hands brushing against the rear stalks was REALLY annoying. Hands at the top of the "point"? Then they tend to flex and twist too much as well as press Hands in the...

Good to know - so it's not an inherent issue with the Bose system not playing well with others ...meaning it's definitely my install gone a bit wrong. I've put power down the left side and that's it (all other wires (remote on, phono in and control unit) are in the boot, so interference...

Still no one? Really? So no one here has added a new sub to their Audi? Wow! :dejection: Anyway, at least I can document my thought process so that if ever I do fix it, others can at least benefit from the thread. My plan of attack Solder the phono input +ves to their respective Pre-Out...

Hmmm, no one eh? :( Firstly, I switched to high quality double shielded phonos for the sub (each conductor shielded and then the whole lot shielded again) with much thicker conductors........no change. I then had a look at the Bose amp harness I had tapped into and decided to not use the...

Hi guys, think I might need some help with this one. I have an RNS-E with satnav and the Bose 10spkr option. Unfortunately, the Bose sub sounds a bit poor so I've added an Alpine SWE-815 to the boot: I sent the supplied power lead through the grommet under the scuttle above the fuse box as...

Right, just got my Flappy Paddle Extensions from Amazon for £27. They come packed from Hong Kong (so may take >1 week to arrive) ...and are simply applied to the paddles via 3M tape. I like the Carbon Fibre effect and they extend them enough to allow to to hold your hands slightly higher...

No takers ;)? Just spoke to the dealership today and they confirmed that the car has the 30pin iPod cable installed, which apparently does work with a lightning adapter for newer devices....so that's pretty much solved that one then :).

Thanks :) I couldn't wait any longer and have already bought these from amazon: Alpine SWE-815 is out of the Jazz and awaiting it's new home. Insurance sorted, now I just have to go to get my work car park pass tomorrow). I've been perfectly happy looking for a car for the past 5 months but...

Thanks Sandra. When I get it, it should've been valeted so I'll take a better piccie then.

Hello everyone. I'm awaiting my A3 (2010) Black Edition which has RNS-E(?) installed. When I sat in it, there was a "plughole" for an audi cable (in the glove box from memory) which allows ipod control but I couldn't find the cable itself anywhere. The dealership says it's included but if it...
