I am in no way held responsible for any Injury, damage of faults that arise from following this video. If unsure seek professional advice.
Fantastic vid! Finally found an install for an my A3! Mines not a convertible but it was more or less the same. Big thumbs up.... This is You Tube at its best.
Thanks very much for your time and effort for this video very clear and helpful .
Hi there great informative video, one of the best ive seen on youtube :D. But what i am trying to achive is to add but a simple AUX input to the current system, my radio is the same displayed in the video, thanks.
Have you found a solution for the upgrade? I've tried for days to find a simple way to upgrade it but I wasn't succesfull.
Best work around for this would be an bluetooth fm transmitter that you'd plug into the cigarette lighter and tune the radio to the same frequency as the transmitter, some come with an aux and it's alot simpler than pulling out the radio if you don't plan on upgrading it.
Hi, I had a question. Is the wiring for Chorus radio different from these of Concert and Symphonie? Forgive me if I am wrong, but I saw in other videos where they removed Concert and Symponie radio and fitted new stereos without an external red cable to fuse box. Is it because the wiring already has a red cable? Thanks in advance.
Nice and easy compared to my old Civic 04 plate. Thanks 👍🏻
Can you still use the controls on the steering wheel with the new installed radio?
I replace original JPN stereo with Pioneer FH S725 BT but it does not connect with car steering wheel mode, please advise
Great tutorial. Thanks :)
BJ Thxs for the video! Question I have the concert2 stereo (slim body) can I still do the upgrade? If so, how do I reposition de emergency light switch and cup holder on top of the concert2?
Why did the original unit not need the piggy backed live? My son has that very same Chorus head unit, very basic. I'm thinking on changing the system for an Xtrons and on ebay they have all the cables required for an install, but I'm not sure if I will need that extra live.
Its because modern vehicles use the CANbus system to communicate with different parts of the car. The factory head unit has the CAN component instealled hence why instead of a switched live cable in the factory quadlock, it has CAN +\- cables. CANbus harness adapters have the CAN box fitted to them to retain the use of factory switched live as well as steering controls and ease of connectivity for parking brake, reverse gear input and speed sensor cables.
I’ve got a 2009 Audi A3 1.4 jdm it’s got a Japanese system I’m going to remove but it’s wiring is completely different to what the normal Audi A3 has if I went back far en in the loom could I get a normal loom and wire it in
Going to try this thanks man
Hey PJ could you please tell me that is there any restriction between putting 7" or 9" car Audio.. ???
Hey bud, how did you get the usb routed through the glovebox on this one? Can't see a way through on my 2012 a3 cabriolet. Many thanks in advance
looking to get apple carplay installed in my 57 plate A3, what system did you install or which one would you recommend?
Anyone know on the non MMI/Nav a3 2013 radios if there is a place on the back of the deck to plug a third party adapter so I can get bluetooth streaming ? Everything I have seen is for 3G/nav/MMI or an AMI connector which I dont have.
Great vid thanks.
I been told that if your car has all four door speakers working you should have a amp somewhere and you will need a ampted harness adapter. Is that true ?
Yes you should have an amp in the boot side panel.You will need to check if it's factory spec amped,Bose amped and if it's rear amped or fully amped for the correct cable.
Hi, im looking at adding an eonon unit to my A3 2009, would i still have add the extra fuse part on the end of the dashboard or could i just connect up all the wires and run the headunit like that?
Yes you would still need to add the fused power wire from the fuse box.
Thanks for the video. Looks relatively easy!
Is there a connection for the steerwheel controls? Will they continue to work after?
I was thinking of installing the new Sony headinto with Android Auto support.
Thanks.
For steering controls you would need something like this - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autoleads-Steering-Wheel-Stalk-Control-Adaptor-VW-Seat-Audi-Skoda-A3-Golf-Leon-/401255755757?hash=item5d6cb4efed:g:5-MAAOSw9GhYcMSP
Without a adaptor your steering controls will not work.
How do you know if you have a factory amp?.
Either -
Check for a dash centre speaker.
Check for a sub in boot.
Pull radios and see if the brown plug is fully populated, full = no amp, half populated should mean you have a long red connector also plugged in the radio.
my audi doesnt have any usb ports will the radio still be compatible with my car?
That is great tutorial thank you. By the way, how do I find the model or serial number on the existing radio of my Audi A3 please? Thanks
Model will be a name in the front.
Serial is on a sticker on the back of the radio.
where does the red power cable go into on the unit?
Hi. I've got one of these installed on an A3 I just bought. I don't think the parking brake cable is hooked up correctly as I can't update the firmware. I'm trying to pull this unit out but I'm struggling. I have the removal keys and insert them mid way left and right but it's still extremely tight and doesn't budge. Any suggestions on how to get it out? Thanks!
Hi.
If you are getting a display then the parking brake cable is fitted. Most people connect the parking brake cable to the earth cable so the active display can be seen while the car is in motion(illegal). When the parking brake cable is connected to the hand brake switch it just acts as a switched earth so hence connecting it up the radio earth(black cable) does the same job as when the hand brake is on.
As for removal,make sure the lugs on the keys are facing inwards so they click in place. However even with them in correctly the radios can be stubborn so try to wiggle it left and right slightly whilst pulling each side and this should free it.
Thanks! I'm surprised about the parking brake as the firmware update option is greyed out. From what I've read, that's because the parking brake switch isn't attached. But you're probably right. Thanks for the advice regarding the lugs and wiggling. It is awfully tight. I'll give it a try and report back on the brake wire. Thanks again.
Is this a quadlock connector on the concer radio?
Do you have a link to where you would buy the fuse wire adaptor? It’s the last piece of the puzzle I need 👍🏻
Amazon & most car shops also sell them but here is a link to some on Ebay -
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pack-Of-2-Add-A-Circuit-Mini-Blade-Spade-Fuse-Holders-15-Amp-Rating-Easy-Spur/111149841394?hash=item19e10bfbf2:g:PV4AAOxyvuVSF3QF
My Audi is an Audi A3 Tecknik 2010. Am I able to do this and replace the steering wheel with the radio controls? I've been looking to do this for a while.
If you replace the steering wheel with a higher spec one then as long as you get it correctly talking to the ecu and reset the airbag warning light then yes this kit should work fine. Just make sure you can get the ecu updated so that it knows another steering wheel is now in place.
hi good guide, link for fuse adapter ?
Hi PJs, awesome video! I have a question if you're able to advise me on which multimedia system to buy for my Audi A3, 1.9, 2008 model, reg SV08LNP. I just want to buy the right media system for my car. Can you help me by adding a link on this comment please.
Which system to buy is down to individual choice but as long as you go for a decent brand such as Kenwood,Sony or Pioneer you should get a reliable unit.
Examples - www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk/car/rec/dab/DPX-7100DAB/

Süper olmuş
Cheers!
Hi I have a 2013 a3 same radio set up as this, I’m looking at the kenwood 7017 dab is it the same install and will the aux fitting under the armrest still work?
Also would like to know the adapter that allows the steering wheel controls too work does that sit behind with the rest of the cables ?
hey do you only get 2 speakers in total with the audi chorus system? greetings
Does it work with the subwoofer
Is a different supplier other than connect 2 that I can get the bits I need?
Yes I see a few brands on Ebay and Amazon but I only use Connects 2 in the trade.
I’m installing a sub and I need ports for the RCA cables. Can someone show me what adapter I need? Thanks so much
Same situation
In this way when you switch off the car the radio shouldn't switch off. Is this correct?
The radio will switch off with the ignition unless you put a constant power supply to both the yellow and red wires that go to the new radio.
Hi! The plastic frame is in the box or i need to buy it?
The fascia adapter is not in the box with the radio,you will need to buy it. The small thin trim that clips around the edge of the radio at the end of the installation does come with the radio.
i have the chorus II, which has the smaller size, is there any way possible to replace it with symphony II?
Not without a custom install being done and that I expect would be expensive.
thanks!
Fred-Richard Saueauk I've converted the radio in my '07 A3 from the concert single din to the rns-e nav system for a total of $450 usd, radio included in price. Get on eBay and search for the parts. You'll need the double din cage, all of the center console buttons and or trim pieces and the nav climate control. You'll also need the retrofit radio harness and antenna adapter. Just search for the parts on eBay. They are very cheap nowadays.
Fred-Richard Saueauk I almost forgot. Make sure if you go the route that I did that whoever you'll purchase the radio from has the security code for it. Trust me, it will save you from a terrible headache amongst other things.
Hey, brilliant video. I'm having a little trouble and from watching your video, I think it's might be to do with the fuse. My setup looks exactly like yours and the new stereo I've bought sounds similar in terms of all it's features by my problem is it doesn't power up. All the cables have been connected properly but I never connected any red cable when installing. Maybe that's why it's not turning on? Would it be possible for you to send me a link to the fuse as well as whatever you used to extend the cable so that it's long enough. Thanks in advance
Yes the red cable is for main switched power and without it being connected your radio won't work.I don't have access to any of the cars in the video's after the video is finished so you would need to check your fuse box for a ignition switched live accessory fuse to use as the radios switched power supply.
@@PJsprojects none of that makes any sense to me whatsoever. why is this red cable needed to make the radio work?
@@supremeworld87 That how it is on A3, just did the same, without the red wire from active fuse it doesnt work.
Will this work with Bose system
No,you would need to use a adapter that has phono cables so that you could use the rca outputs on the rear of the aftermarket stereo. Example - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CT20AU07-Quadlock-Fakra-Bose-Amplified-Harness-Adaptor-Lead-Audi-A3-A4-A6-TT-/371696756413?clk_rvr_id=1461640467289&JlcyI6MCwicyI6OTcyMDIzNywiY2kiOiIwM2FmNDExMzE2N2I2OTMyYjlkY2NjODQ5NDdmNmFlNSIsImkiOiIzNzE2OTY3NTY0MTMiLCJ0cyI6MTUyMDYwODM3MiwidiI6Mywic28iOjE1MDAsImMiOjE3NDAyMn0%3D&rmvSB=true
Do steering wheel controlls still work with that harness?
No,you would need this type of thing but double check with supplier due to variations on steering wheels.

Good job mate where did you buy that head unit from?
I didn't buy it chap,I just fitted the unit,but it's available from places like Amazon or for a info link try this :- www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/sph-da120
Nice video! Are your rear speakers working (in de the doors?)
These cars can have rear speakers that work of an amp,so when you replace the radio only the fronts will work unless you use an adaptor like this one - www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-connects2-ctsad002-2_p-36137.htm?gclid=CjwKCAiA693RBRAwEiwALCc3uzsRIp3vQtIPRBohB9p__Al1_QN_RHY3hqK79N_fu9VucRSXkZgQGhoCCwUQAvD_BwE#
how do u set up steering wheel controls with these please can you make a video good sir?
Most steering control interface units are plug and play such as this one - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CTSAD002-Steering-Wheel-Stalk-Control-Interface-Adaptor-Lead-For-AUDI-A3-A4-T/350508255766?epid=1404436880&hash=item519beb8a16:g:lBUAAOSwdjdaAxDg
thank you good sir however the RCA leads where do they plug into? and the other bare connections such as the purple, blue, pink wire that has half a wire and looks like it needs a connection? is their any chance to make a video on how do use this? i wanted to use the RCA originally on my stereo for my aftermarket amplifier as well as still having bose if applicable. thanks
Hi my rear speakers are not working I don't have steering wheel controls which wiring kit do I need thx.
