Stereo Upgrade Help Please..?

Is that aimed at anyone specific or in general?

If it's in general, then yes you can.

Quick question.
Can you turn your cd player on when key is not in?

I can't

 

[AndyMac]

You can only do that on stock HU's or Blaupunkt aftermarket, no idea why you'd want to though.

Mine does it, to get arround the switched live i just connected perm live to both.

Allows me to boom without ignition on or keys in so when im at petrol station the fionce can continue listening to her podcast or something. Its only really useful in scarce situations.

I got the same stereo as above though but i need to hook up my rear speakers etc.

That's what I was thinking. It shouldn't work the same way as audi stereo. When you take the key out it will not turn on.
And because of that would prefer how Nutkin's got it sorted. All is needed is to connect yellow wire with red one on your head unit.
If someone asks why it's better - because for example I can clean my car and listen to radio without keys being inside.

That makes sense to me Slepy! I'm a sucker for trying to make things work like oem lol. Sad!

What, you don't trust your fiance to leave the keys in the ignition? Not a good basis for marriage.......

yeah great, all seems fine. There were a lot of cables in there at the end, but loads of room.

The only change i might ake going forward is the extra power feed on ther aerial, i currently have 1 lot of power going to the aerial and i could add the second.

Going out tomorrow so will give it a good test.

Cheers mate.

Good to hear!
Good to be of help for once, instead of hassling 1wheel for rns-e info lol

Hi Guys,

Going to upgrade my stereo. I've searched through a few posts but cant seem to get the answer im looking for. I have bought the facia plate and that is fine, now i just need to make sure i get the right ISO. I thought i had a rear amp, but looking at the connections im not sure now. I know it has 10 speakers and there is a mini little sub in the back.

Can anyone tell me how i keep all speakers working with my new stereo? Will the following ISO work?

The RED connector looks like it wont fit...

These are the connections on the back of the standard stereo...

Thanks in advance for the help!

Cheers
Graham

From memory*
The audi takes information from the can-bus iirc as to whether or not the engine is on. So the stereo works. So there is no iginition live for the aftermarket stereo. Finding a switched live is easy enough. But if you're like me, i wanted to it to turn off when i took the keys out. There is a fine red wire that runs down the steering column, i took a feed from this. Into a standard head light relay, and ran power that way.

Where did you feed it too?

Thanks for that, Will i need to get a aerial booster as well for the Pink/brown lead or do i use the other next to it?

Thanks again.
