when you switch on the car does it say BOSE on the radio display? do you have BOSE on the front speaker grills?

All single DIN HU's are ISO (not quadlock), so you'll need the ISO kit:
Autoleads PC9-404 Audi Harness Adaptor (RCA, non-BOSE) £7.99 including VAT. PC9404. Buy discounted car audio online at In-Car Express
But as you're fitting a proper sub you'll need to run an RCA & power cable so you'd be far better off rewiring the rear speakers to the HU and bypassing the Audi wiring altogether. Otherwise you'll have 2 x 50w+ going to the fronts and still have the feeble 2 x 20w going to the rears from the Audi rear amp. You can pick up the feeds for the rears from the connector on the Audi sub, so no need to dismantle half the car.

Im a novice with ICE. I recently changed over my HU and only get sound to the front speakers. Can you elaborate on this abit more. Non-Bose also.

Bose systems are all amplified off of one Bose amp.
non Bose units have the fronts amplified from the HU and the rears off a small crappy amp like thing with the crappy plastic sub.
if you change over the HU you would need to make sure you have the correct wiring adapters to be able to listen to the sounds properly from all speakers.
Andy was saying as the OP is going to put in a proper sub and do away with the crappy plastic thing he may as well wire in the rear speakers to the HU directly and then run the new Sub via RCAs to the HU as per normal

in your case as you are just using a new HU and not playing with anything else i would guess that you are using the wrong harness adapter as it should have just worked. have a browse through the ICE section of the forum for similar issues as i vaguely remember seeing an issue like yours a while back.

There are no rear speaker feeds at the HU, that's the problem. You either buy an adapter that feeds the rear pre-outs (RCA's) into the Auid rear/sub amp loom or rewire the rears directly to the new HU. As already said you don't have to pull all the panels off as you can pick up the feeds to the speakers from the connector going to the sub

she's no d-turbo
Andy do you have a link for an amplifier adaptor that could be used with quad lock (07)? Is it possible to get one which incorporates steering wheel controls? I've had a look at auto leads and connect 2 but not sure which one i need.
Planning on changing my rns for an alpine one unit in the next week or so
Cheers
non-bose btw

i think this is what you need
CTSAD002 CAN-Bus steering control adaptor
with the alpine bit
Connects2 Alpine Stalk Adaptor
Do you know of the correct harness adapter to use for a 2004 non-Bose single din HU?
