Audi iPod AUX USB Bluetooth Guide

December 13th, 2011

All Audi Radios from 1998 to 2011 have 2 different ways into the radio.

CD changer Port: Even if your radio has a CD changer built in your radio also has a connection on the back for a second CD changer.  CD Changer port interfaces trick the radio into thinking that there is a CD changer attached.  The radio opens the audio lines and lets you play CD quality music through your radio.  Many of these also allow you to control your music from your radio and steering wheel.

Fiber optic audio: A6 2005-2009, A8 2003-2009 Q7 2007-2009 all use a fiber optic adapter.  See this page for more info.  http://enfigcarstereo.com/DENSION_GW51MO2.html

 

 

$69.99  The Dension GW1L is our most popular  adapter. This Dension unit is an iPod / iPhone and auxiliary device. If offers song and playlist controls from the radio and steering wheel controls while never locking the controls on the iPod or iPhone. It also has a universal aux input that can take audio from virtually any device and play it on your factory speakers. This device tricks the radio into thinking its an external CD changer. Since it uses the external CD changer port it does not disable the CD or cassette in the radio. Dension has made OEM iPod adapters for Volkswagen / Audi so you can expect OEM build and sound quality.

-Can be used as an AUX only. We give you the option at checkout to remove the iPod cable and take $10 off the price.
-CD quality audio from your device to your car.
-Universal AUX input. (cable not included)
-iPod / iPhone input via 30pin connector for charging and control from the radio.
-Song up and down controls of iPod / iPhone from radio.
-Playlist up and down controls of iPod / iPhone radio.
-iPod turns on and off with the radio.
-OEM build and audio quality.
-Plays music from internet apps like Pandora and Spotify. Also controls them from the radio.
-Plays prompts from navigation apps.
-Call audio can only be heard if the aux is connected to the headphone jack.

http://enfigcarstereo.com/IPOD_HONDA_ACCORD_03.html

 

All 2003-2007 Honda Accords have an external CD changer port on the back of the radio that allows you to install a 6 disc CD changer in the trunk.  Even radios with an in dash CD changer  an/or XM have this unused external CD changer port.  Some radios have the option to run a factory XM radio. XM radios are clearly marked with an XM button on the face of the radio. These radios have the ability to show text on the face of the radio using the XM port.  The XM and CD changer ports are on the same connector but use different wires.

ALL of the adapters below work with ALL radios in US accords from 2003-2007

iPod Cables

The Dension units do not come with and iPod cable.  They are sold separately because not everyone owns an iPod or iPhone and they give you 2 different choices.  Below are the 2 different cables.

Dension IPO5DC9 – Basic iPod cable
Dension IP44CR9 – iPod Cradle with Built in iPod cable

 

Power Boosters

If you are using an iPod touch Gen2 Gen3 or Gen4 or an iPhone 3 , 3GS or 4 You will need a power booster.  The Dension units supply .5 amp through the iPod cable. The mentioned units when running on Apple OS4 use 1 amp of power.  Some of the newer units do not require the power booster use the guide to determine if one is needed for your application.  The iPo5DC9 cable and the IP44CR9 cradle are designed to handle the higer current.  Do not use older cables with the booster or the new 1amp units.

Audi Aftermarket Radio Installation Guide Audi A4 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006

September 10th, 2010

This is no longer the most current guide.  Go to the main product page for the the latest guide.
http://enfigcarstereo.com/RADIO_AUDI_A4_02.html

Below we will go over the parts needed to replace the radio in you Audi A4 2004 2005 2006.  I’m going to break this up into RNS-E Navigation radios and Symphony II in dash CD changer radios.

SymphonyII Radio Harness

The first thing you will need is a radio harness. The radio harness will connect the power and audio wires from your new radio to your car without cutting the factory wiring.

The best radio harness is the Enfig SRWH-AUD2 .  This harness will give you all your speaker leads, constant +12V, ground, switched ignition +12 power leads. It will also give you your illumination, VSS / vehicle speed sense, reverse (gives you a signal when you put the car in reverse to activate a back up cam) wires. If you add the radio specific steering wheel control lead this adapter will also enable your factory steering wheel controls to work with your car without any programing or additional modules.  It will also integrate your Bose & non Bose factory amplifier with your aftermarket radio.  (radio must have amplifier RCA outputs)

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_SRWH_AU2.html

 

Steering wheel control option. If you add an Enfig SWCL (Steering Wheel Control Lead) to the SRWH-AUD3 the SRWH will also allow your cars steering wheel controls to control most aftermarket radios.

The link below takes you to all the steering wheel control leads.
http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_SWCL.html

 

If you are on a budget you can get the  ENFIG RWH-AUD1B .  This harness will give you your constant +12V power and ground wires as well as factory Bose and non Bose amplifier integration. Switched ignition +12 power, Illumination, VSS / vehicle speed sense, reverse (gives you a signal when you put the car in reverse to activate a back up cam) wires are not behind the radio and must be located elsewhere in the car.

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_SWCL.html

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_RWH_AUD1B.html

Symphony II Antenna Adapter
Your car will need an amplified antenna adapter. Your car has 2 window mounted AM/FM antennas. The Enfig AAA-VWAUD2 antenna adapter will convert your factory antenna connections  into the aftermarket radio industry standard Motorola antenna connection. It will also provide power to your antenna amplifier . You must use the amplified antenna adapter or you will have a severe loss in reception.

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_AAA_VWAUD2.html

The Enfig AAA-VAAUD1 will also work in this application but it will only use one of your antennas. The Enfig AAA-VWAUD2 antenna adapter is a better option because it will use a both of your antennas.

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_AAA_VWAUD1.html

RNS-E Radio Harness

The first thing you will need is a radio harness. The radio harness will connect the power and audio wires from your new radio to your car without cutting the factory wiring.

The best radio harness is the Enfig SRWH-AUD3 . This harness will give you all your speaker leads, constant +12V, ground, switched ignition +12 power leads. It will also give you your illumination, VSS / vehicle speed sense, reverse (gives you a signal when you put the car in reverse to activate a back up cam) wires. If you add the $10 radio specific steering wheel control lead this adapter will also enable your factory steering wheel controls to work with your car without any programing or additional modules.  It will also integrate your Bose & non Bose factory amplifier with your aftermarket radio.  (radio must have amplifier RCA outputs)

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_SRWH_AUD3.html

 

 

If you are on a budget you can get the ENFIG RWH-AUD3B wiring harness.  It gives you power, ground and RCA out for the Bose amp.  It does not include: switched ignition +12 power, illumination, VSS / vehicle speed sense or  reverse.  If you do not have a Bose system then the ENFIG RWH-AUD3 is the budget harness.

Steering wheel control option. If you add an Enfig SWCL (Steering Wheel Control Lead) to the SRWH-AUD3 the SRWH will also allow your cars steering wheel controls to control most aftermarket radios.

The link below takes you to all the steering wheel control leads.

RNS-E Antenna Adapter

The Enfig AAA-VWAUD5 antenna adapter will convert your factory antenna connections  into the aftermarket radio industry standard Motorola antenna connection. It will also provide power to your antenna amplifier . You must use the amplified antenna adapter or you will have a severe loss in reception.

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_AAA_VWAUD3.html

 

 

RNS-E & Symphony II Double Din Radio Installation Dash Kit
A radio installation dash kit will take the Audi specific opening in your dash and convert it into a aftermarket radio industry standard opening.

The best double din kit is the ENFIG RMK8-A4B67.  It has a matte coating that matches the factory dash and there is no separate trim piece.

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_RMK8_A4B67.html

 The Metra 99-9107B listed below with the single din radio mounting kits works but since you cannot remover the radio once you install it we do not consider it compatible.

RNS-E & Symphony II Single Din Radio Installation Dash Kit

The best Single din radio installation dash kit is the ENFIG RMK4-A4B67. It has a matte coating that matches the factory dash and there is no separate trim piece.

http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_RMK4_A4B67.html

GPS antenna Adapters

If your car came with a factory GPS unit we have converters that allow you to use your factory GPS antenna with your aftermarket GPS radio.

The link below will take you to our selection of GPS antenna adaptes.

Radio Installation Dash Kit

A radio installation dash kit will take the Audi specific opening in your dash and convert it into a aftermarket radio industry standard opening.

Enfig RMK8-A4B67 This is the best kit available for a double din radio.
The matte coating matches texture of the Audi dash.  The face of the kit also acts as a trim kit for a seamless look.  The depth is also adjustable for  full custom adjustment.

Enfig RMK4-A4B67 is the single din version of the kit above.

Antenna Adapter

The correct antenna adapter is the Enfig AAA-VWAUD5
http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_AAA_VWAUD5.html
The connectors on your factory antenna cables behind the radio are different that the standard antenna connection behind most aftermarket antennas.  Your factory antenna also has a built in amplifier.  The blue wire connects to your new radio to turn on the amp.

Radio Harness

You will also need a radio harness. The radio harness will connect the power and audio wires from your new radio to your car without cutting the factory wiring.

The best radio harness is the Enfig SRWH-AUD3 http://enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_SRWH_AUD3.html

This harness will connect to the following wires behind your radio: constant  power, ground, switched power, illumination, VSS, Reverse, speakers amp integration for Bose and non Bose systems including an amp turn on wire. This unit will also integrate your steering wheel controls with combined with an SWCL.  For a more detailed description read below.

You either have a Bose or non Bose audio system.  In both systems  the rear speakers and subwoofer are amplified by the external amp.  In the Bose system the external amp also powers the front speakers.  In the non  Bose system the front speakers are amplified by the radio.

, ground & front speaker wires (in a Bose audio system all the speakers run through the amp, in a NON Bose audio system only the rear speakers and sub woofer are amplified)

The following wires are done by your cars can-bus system and cannot be utilized behind the radio without a can-bus reader. The Enfig SRWH-AUD3 reads the can-bus and generates the following wires:

Illumination: This wire tells the radio to dim when you turn on your headlights so its not a bright eyesore at night.

Vehicle Speed Sense (VSS): This wire will tell a navigation radio how fast you are going if you lose the GPS signal.  The radio will calculate how far you have traveled on the current road  in order to keep you on track in you ever lose GPS signal.  Comes in really handy when coming out of the NYC side of the Lincoln tunnel.

Reverse Wire This wire will tell the radio when you are in
reverse and send a +12v signal to tell the radio to turn on the back up screen and back up camera.

Switched 12v RAP (Retained Accessory Power) retained accessory power wire turns on when you turn the key and stays on until you pull out the key. Most harneses will tutn off the radio as soon as you turn off the key.   It will also give you your illumination, , reverse (gives you a 12+ signal when you put the car in reverse to activate a back up cam) wires.

Steering wheel control option. If you add an Enfig SWCL (Steering Wheel Control Lead) to the SRWH-AUD3 the SRWH will also allow your cars steering wheel controls to control most aftermarket radios.

The link below takes you to all the steering wheel control leads.

GPS antenna Adapters

If your car came with a factory GPS unit we have converters that allow you to use your factory GPS antenna with your aftermarket GPS radio.

The link below will take you to our selection of GPS antenna adaptes.

Volkswagen Aftermarket Radio Installation Guide GTI 2006-2010 – Jetta 2005.5-2010 – R32 2008 – Rabbit 2006-2010

September 9th, 2010

Below we will go over the parts needed to replace the radio in you GTI 2006-2010, Jetta 2005.5-2010, R32 2008 & Rabbit 2006-2010.

Radio Harness

The first thing you will need is a radio harness.  The radio harness will connect the power and audio wires from your new radio to your car without cutting the factory wiring.

The basic radio harness is the Metra 70-9003 http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/70_9003.html.  This harness will connect all your speaker leads (whether amplified or not) between your new radio and your car.  It will also connect the constant +12v  & ground power cables.  Since your car has a can-bus system the ignition, illumination, reverse & Vehicle Speed Sense / VSS  wires have to be located in other parts of the car.

The best radio harness is the Connects 2 CTSVW002 http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/CONNECTS2_CTSVW002.html. This harness will give you all your speaker leads, constant +12V, ground, switched ignition +12 power leads. It will also give you your illumination, VSS / vehicle speed sense, reverse (gives you a signal when you put the car in reverse to activate a back up cam) wires.  If you add the radio specific steering wheel control lead this adapter will also enable your factory steering wheel controls to work with your car without any programing or additional modules.

Antenna Adapter
Your car will need is an amplified antenna adapter.  Your car has an amplified antenna system.  If your car came with the single CD radio you have a single roof mounted antenna system.  The Metra 40-EU55 http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/40_EU55.html antenna adapter will convert your factory antenna into the aftermarket radio industry standard Motorola antenna connection.  It will also provide power to your antenna amplifier .  You must use the amplified antenna adapter or you will have a severe loss in reception.  All other radios came with a dual window mounted antenna system.  The Metra 40-EU 55 will also work in this application but it will only use one of your antennas.  The Connects2 CT27AA25 http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/CONNECTS2_CT27AA25.html antenna adapter is a better option because it will use and power both of your antennas.

Radio Installation Dash Kit
A radio installation dash kit will take the Volkswagen specific opening in your dash and convert it into a aftermarket radio industry standard opening.

The best kit available is the Connect2 CT24VW03R http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/CONNECTS2_CT24VW03R.html.  This kit has a rubber like coating that matches the factory dash board better then any other kit we have ever seen.  This kit will take a standard single din radio as is.  If you are installing a double din radio you will also need the Connects2 CT23UN01 http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/CONNECTS2_CT23UN01.html radio installation cage.  This is the only cage we know of that will fit.  All the aftermarket cages we have seen are 110mm tall and this one is 100mm tall.

We offer  2 other kits.  They are made of a much cheaper plastic that does not match the dash but they  they can both be used as single or double din kit. The American International kit does not come with a double din trim ring and must be cut in order to fit a double din radio. The Metra 99-9011 has recently been coated with a spray coating that closely resembles the factory dash. We used to recommend the American international kit over the Metra kit but since the Metra kit has been coated we now think that it is a better looking kit and prefer it.  Metra 99-9011 http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/METRA_99_9011.html & American International VW-K1017 http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/AI_VW_K1017.html.

Audi iPod guide A6 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009

March 20th, 2010

We sell and install everything on this page at out store in NJ.

We ship worldwide.

We offer lifetime technical support for you and/or your installer.  But do not offer any support for units not purchased from us.  We have installed over 500 of these units and sold thousands worldwide. No one knows how these units work in your A6 better then us except the guys at Dension.

Here at Enfig Car Stereo we answer the same questions every day so I figured that if I made this guide it would clarify most of the questions and let us get back onto the forums. We specialize in Volkswagen & Audi. We also carry all the relevant iPod interfaces on the market and have been selling Auxiliary AUX interfaces for over 10 years since they were just used for people who wanted a direct audio input for their in-car TV’s. Everything on this page is for sale on our website EnfigCarStereo.com or you can click on the image of the item for a direct link to the item. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE BEFORE CALLING US WITH QUESTIONS. It will help you make the best decision as to what interface you need and help keep us from answering repetitive questions. But if you do have questions after reading this please feel free to call us. We will be more than happy to speak to you.

Lets start with the car.
A6 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 (yes it works with the years that the dealership has nothing for)

What type of audio system you have does not matter with the 2005-2009 A6. All of these cars have a CD changer in the glove box.  The adapter connects to the fiber optic cables behind the CD changer.  The only other connection needed is a constant +12V and ground (for power).  These connections can be made at the passenger side fuse box without cutting any wires or making any permanent modifications to the vehicle.  This unit will not have any effect on any existing system in the car including factory Blue Tooth and satellite Radio.

Dension GW51M02

Dension GW51MO2

http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/DENSION_GW51MO2.html

The unit includes the main unit (silver box), iPod Cable (blue connector), 2 pairs of fiber optic cables (orange), aux/switcher box, power cable (red & black wires) & USB extension cable.

Audi Dealership Setting: The switcher box turns off the Dension unit.  When you need to take your car in for service put the switch into the off (empty circle) position and the Dension unit will disappear off the fiber optic loop.  This will prevent any interference with the Audi diagnostic equipment.

Aux audio input:  The switcher box also has red & white RCA ports.  This is a direct audio input that can be connected to your phone, rear seat TV’s or just about anything you can imagine.  I have a customer that connects his DJ equipment to the port so he can perform in parking lots out of his trunk.

USB:  This unit has a dual purpose USB port.  It will be used to update the software in the unit in under 5 minutes using a portable memory stick with software downloaded off the Dension site.  It can can also play music copied onto a Portable memory stick or hard drive. ID tags will be displayed on the display on the center of the dash.

iPod cable:  The iPod cable will charge your iPod (see the web site for supported models). It will transfer CD quality music & data to your cars audio system. In iPod GW mode this unit will let you see all the the song info from your iPod on the screen in your center console and offer full iPod control from the radio controls. The iPod controls are locked out in this mode. In iPod UI mode you have full control from the iPod but no text on the radio. Its an apple limitation.  You can also use your internet radio stations in this mode.  This mode allows song up & down controls of the iPod from the radio & Steering wheel controls. See the following page for more info on audio quality http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/faqs/answers/which-bitrate-should-i-choose

Power cable: The power cable supplies the Dension brain with power.

Fiber optic cables: These cables carry all the data & audio from the Dension brain to your audio system.

Below is a video that demonstrates how the unit works in your A6 (4 Years old)

This is a newer video in an A8.  The function is the same but it is a better demonstration.

Installation

I usually get power from the top row of the fuse box.  There are usually a few open fuses that you can tap into.  I put a spade connector on the end of a fuse holder and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the red Dension power cable.  I use the bolt that holds the bottom of the fuse box as a ground.  This way the entire unit can be taken out of the car without any evidence of the unit being installed.  The wires can be run to the back of the CD changer without having remove the glove box.

There is a pocket directly to the right of the CD changer.  On the back top left & right there are holes that fit the round end of the iPod cable perfectly.  We also sell a few dash mounts and an ashtray mount. (see below for more info)

I usually mount the aux/switcher box and the USB extension cable to the bottom of the glove box.  If you look under the glove box there is a black plastic panel that just snaps off.  I take it out of the car and mount them on the work bench.  You can also tuck them behind the top of the passenger side carpet if you don’t think you are going to use them regularly.

Now to get the the fiber optic cables on the back of the CD changer I usually take out the CD changer.  You can also just disconnect the CD changer connections from underneath the glove box once you take out the black plastic panel.

Follow the wiring instructions in the installation manual for the fiber optic connections and connections at the Dension brain.

I mount the main unit to a plastic grid directly behind the CD changer using long Zip Ties.

Below are the keys you will need to take out the CD changer.

Mounting
Most of my customers leave their iPod in the glove box.  If you only have an iPhone or perfer to control your iPod using the iPod controls you may want your iPod to be easily accessible.  We offer an ashtray mount and a few mounts. Or lest face it the spec.dock does look pretty cool.  The dash mounts just give you a mounting surface so you don’t have to make holes on your dashboard.  Look at our iPod holders for ways to mount your iPod at the following link: http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/ipod_holders.html

2point5 spec.dock AUDIC6V2I

The spec.dock is the cleanest way to mount your iPod.  It replaces your ashtray and gives you the cleanest possible way to mount your iPod.
