Jesus Christ thank you, I had exactly the same issue as you but never figured out where it came from, I am definitely checking this out when I will be available…
Thank you 👍👍
Glad I could help! Let me know how you get on with it!👍🏻
Don't have a TT, considering one for the near future and will likely do the same. Thanks for the clear videos lately and best of luck with the motor.
Thanks!👍🏻 Best of luck if you do decide to get one.
These are great videos. Very informative, great resolution and really good narration.
Thank you!👍🏻
very informative. Anyone know the right can bus rev for the steering wheel controls? Also I have a harness that has two sets of audio inputs, for front and rear, that go to the oem harness but the head unit only has one set LR out, I ended up just getting a pair of 2 to 1 rca adapters. I also have a 23 pin amp connector that was pulled from the old unit but the android harness didnt have it, I still had sound so not sure if I need to try and get this hooked up?
Hi, could you provide a link to the headunit you bought. Looks great. Thanks.
Thanks! Here’s the link. I’ll put it in the video description too!

I have fitted a after market radio in my Audi tt and the speakers don’t work the radio powers on all done do you have any guesses on how to fix
Have you had a look at the loom to see if the amp control cable has been fitted? That’s what tells the amplifier to turn on when the radio is on, outputting the sound.
@@day_dobbie hi amp is not in the loom but I have tried putting it in to a place in the car but it’s not working
hey, do you have the bose audio system in your TT ? I heard that you can have some issues with that if you replace the oem radio
No, I have the standard stereo system. I’d assume maybe the way the Bose amp and head unit communicate could be what causes issues maybe? Could be worth trying to see if there are any Bose specific replacements👍🏻
Looks like your old stereo was also an aftermarket one
it was, but it wasn't great in all honesty.
0I bought the Roinvou version from Amazon. I had to turn the amp on in the factory settings for the blue wire to get power. What I've noticed in my 2008 Audi TT MK2 is I lost loudness in my rear speakers. After investigating there pre-amp RCAs only have fronts hooked up to deck and it it's spliced to the rears to. So there's actually no rear or subwoofer Set of RCAs so u cant use the fader. Also the rear speakers are so low i can't hear them. The factor deck was loud. 🧐 Another complaint the music stops playing when I reverse. Even if I uncheck it in factory settings.
I think to fix the music stopping in reverse issue, I messed around with the time delay in the settings and set it to the highest I could. That seemed to stop the music from stopping when I go into reverse. I can’t say for your radio though as it’s different to mine
Hi Dave, Great video & great content...I've recently purchased a Mk2 Audi TT which has the same aftermarket head unit you fitted in the video...I need to remove the headunit to wire in a reverse camera...Could you advise the best/easiest way to remove...Appreciate any help you can offer...Thanks...
Thanks! If it’s the same as mine, then the stereo should just push into place, so removing it would be a case of gently prying the sides of the surround until it comes out. Just be gentle as the tabs that hold in the stereo are quite flimsy.
@@day_dobbie Thanks Dave...I'll give this a try...Fingers crossed...
hey, great video! its possible to add a reverse camera to that screen? thanks
Thanks! You can add a camera based on what the instructions were saying, but mine didn't come with one so maybe that's an optional extra?
I’ve been looking at a new head unit for my Mk2 but I’m so dubious about the eBay cheapies
So far, this one has actually been pretty good! Hasn't caused me any issues yet😅
Hi bro i have Audi A4 with bose system i have the same issue Stereo is turning On but no audio.. im new to all this stuff.. please can you explain me that the blue wire (amplifer wire) you connected to which wire.. I have the amplifier wire but unable to figure out to which wire should i join... Because in my harness there is only one wire vacant that is the white wire and on it its written key 2. Other wise all the wires are connected to each other. Please please help me
I think the Bose systems are slightly different due to them having a different amplifier. Mine is just a standard sound system. I’ll do some research and if I can find any info, I’ll come back to this comment with a reply. Failing that, if you follow me on Instagram and message me, I’ll try and help you work it out. My Instagram is in my Bio👍🏻
Hi - I’ve done something very similar in my car. Do you find the audio quality is really poor? Is that an issue with the speakers or do you think caused by the head unit?
My audio quality isn’t that bad in all honesty. It does the job but I’m sure there are definitely better head units out there that’ll provide a better sound! I’m pretty sure a head unit can have just as much of an effect on sound quality as the speakers can.
Frig off my feed
is there a lag? or can you connet to carply dircect with USB cable?
I can connect CarPlay wirelessly through bluetooth and there is also the option to use a USB, but I prefer the wireless option.
Hey there David, found your channel pretty recently! I've bought last week myself a Audi tt mk2 also 2007 but black xD.
Could you provide me with the radio link? Thanks so much for the content.
Would love to know what parts you ordered (harness and head unit)
This is the radio I bought. The loom/harness came with it👍🏻

@@day_dobbiethank you. I’m going to try and do this this weekend. However the last owner of my TT seems to have cut out some of the cars connectors to put in a Bluetooth adapter and it’s a disaster in there.
I have the exact same stero not powering on. but I don't have the old decoder in it. any ideas ty.
First thing I’d check if you haven’t already is the radio fuse, incase anything arced when changing the wiring. Next, I’d have a look at the power cables and make sure that the look is definitely compatible because it could be sending 12v to the wrong pin, not powering the radio.
If you want to follow me on Instagram and message me, I’ll try and work through it with you👍🏻
How is the radio signal?
The radio signal is pretty good as it still uses the original antenna in the boot of the car.
Nice video man, good investigation, I also bought a TT with an Xtrons unit and its crap. have a hissing noise, don't think it's wired correctly. Probably going to upgrade it
Thanks! I had a similar issue with mine, it was intermittent, but still frequent enough to irritate me😂
There's some kind of box you use to block that frequency. It's because your hooking up directly to an factory amp on the audi. I think there was another video that said to do that, but I forgot what is called. Do some digging.
top man
Excellent video bro - good job helping advise
Thanks!👍🏻
What have I done wrong, I can only hear sound from the left side of the car, would you be able to help please 🫶🏽
Double check your L and R audio plugs (red and white). Did the sound come out of both sides before you installed the radio and is it the same radio I fitted?
