Hi guys,
Pretty new to the site, and infact the audi scene for that matter. Just like to start though by saying this has definately been the most informative Audi forum I have come across. Great work, keep it up guys.
I picked up my 2001 Facelift S3 a couple of weeks ago. At the weekend I went to town and thought I would treat myself to the new Alpine IVA D105R with navi, digital TV, bluetooth phone connection and a 6 disc changer.
The car currently has the concert 1 with the Bose upgrade. I bought the required wiring loom that converts the pre- outs (on the HU) to the iso connector for the Bose. Now i expected the connecting of the HU to the Bose system to be rather siple! How wrong was I!!!
If the Alpine HU is on 0 volume and I turn it to +1 then I get a 'pop' sound from the speakers. They then continue to play normally. Same happens if I go from 1 to 0 and if I skip a CD track. I'm presuming I have some major interference and so did a search on hear for remedies. Most of the posts refere to a hissing sound and not the POP that I am experiencing. My questions to the wise and knowledgable are:
1. Has anyone experienced this POP too?
2. If so what did you do about it, and have you been able to cure it?
3. Any suggestions are most welcome.
I took the HU back to the shop and had them swap it, so its definately not a faulty unit. They also said that they had never experienced this before.
Please help guys. Tell me I didn't just throw away a shed load of cash on a downgrade!!!!
Thanks
Nuri
