    Does anyone want my double din for their single din?

Does anyone want to do a swap.i.e. my Symphony II for their equivalent single din unit (is that a concert II or chorus II ), my double din...

    inputting Symphony 2 radio code?

    Strangely i didn't have to input the code. I reconnected the top audi preout plug and the unit switched on I've now disconnected the top plug and reinserted the blaupunkt preout cable and it still works

    inputting Symphony 2 radio code?

    I'm trying to input the code in my symphony 2 but i'm having no luck. My manual appears to be for the symphony 1 and says to hold RDS and TP simultaneously until 1000 shows. I've tried this but it still displays safe and wont let me input the code. Is it another button combination for the...

    Andymac sub enclosure

    Well i've finally got round to installing andys enclosure and I just want to say how impressed I am. The quality of construction of the enclosure is very high - i'm sure if you went to an ICE shop and asked them to build something similar it's cost 3x the price. I'm running the sub with a...

    Need clarification on something please

    [ QUOTE ] AndyMac said: Yes the rears run off the sub amp, so you need a 4 channel amp when adding my sub, or you can extract the tiny amp from the Audi sub and reuse it just for the rears. [/ QUOTE ] Is it a difficult job to re-use the audi amp to power the rear speakers? Would it be done...

    FAO Andymac

    Andy, what are the disadvantages of tapping into the Audi sub loom with your mini loom - it seems like a lot of saved trouble compared with running rcas down the car. Does the mini loom require the rca to be extended so it can reach the amp, or is it long enough already?

    cd error 3 on symphony II head unit??

    The symphony units go on ebay from time to time. Other than that, if you do take the Audi warranty out, would such a thing be covered . I know if my cd kept getting stuck i'd be straight round to audi asking for a unit under warranty.

    Need clarification on something please

    Ok, so i've currently just got the boggo non-bose system with symphony hu. First plan was to keep the standard speakers and hu and just add the andymac sub for some extra bass (run off a 2ch amp). From what i've read this isn't possible - am I right in saying the rear speakers are powered by the...

    can you add a six disc changer to the symphony II

    Lol Jedi. I've never seen someone so concerned about the potential different music formats in a car before they've even bought one I've found this site that should give all the info you need. It seems the symphony II does have the ability to add an external 6 cd changer: Clicky HTH

    do the audi cd players / changers play CDR discs?

    Yep, mine plays CD-Rs and CD-RWs as well.

    a3 / s3 head unit options

    Jedi, I was wrong on the symphony info. Not all symphonys have the inbuilt cd changer. Some just have a single cd and tape player, but may have a cd changer in the boot as well. Probably best to confirm with the owner when you see a car you like.

    Upgrading S3 audio

    Thanks for the link noggy - i think you've convinced me to go for andys enclosure. I'm now on the lookout for some 5.25" components. I'm thinking about the alpine SPR-136a as i've had the 6.5" versions in the past and i've been impressed with them. Only problem is that they have a mounting...

    Upgrading S3 audio

    Thanks andy. I don't have bose so I think I may go for that adapter. I'm going to try and get an amp that has a remote bass control so I can control the bass independently of the symphonu hu. If I get an amp to run the front speakers and a sub, can I still run the rear speakers off the symphony hu?

    sat nav plus upgrade!! help needed urgent (please)

    Hi tariq, i'm thinking about fitting satnav+ to my s3 and i've been doing a bit of research on it. Things that i've found out which are relevant to your situation: 1) If you don't have the double din headunit space (symphony stereo) then you will need to get a double din metal cradle and...

    Upgrading S3 audio

    Could someone also advise how I would connect my symphony headunit to an amp. I assume the symphony doesn't have rca preouts. Is some type of adapter needed?

    Upgrading S3 audio

    Hi Andy, thanks for the offer but unfortunately i'm in london. At the moment i can't really decide whether to go with a 8" sub, something like the JL Audio 8W3, and run it in a normal box in the boot, or go for the JL 6WO in your box. I know it's difficult to try and describe these things, but...
