i have ordered this: http://www.autotoys.com/x/cust/produ...=2466#reviews1

along with this: http://www.autotoys.com/x/cust/produ...=1470#reviews1

before i proceed i want to make sure this is going to work. a friend of mine who works in car audio said it should but i would rather ask the experts.

what do you think. am i wasting my time or do i need something else to make this work?

Sounds like the harness should work. Says something about large vs small preamp pins on the harness plug.

I don't think that dash kit will fit. The A4 dash changed in 2001. What year is your car?

jmac1124 · 11-01-2006, 04:16 PM

It is a 2001. The product description says its for audi a4 2001 and up. but i was thinking the same thing you were. it looks different. What exactly am i going to be removing on the bose symphony system. which part

This may help a little:

For my 2001 S4 I need a specific dash kit. I talk about it in my thread.

jmac1124 · 11-01-2006, 04:32 PM

So what am i going to be removing on the audi symphony system? the do i need to order the 47 dollar kit with multiple pieces. or the 22 dollar one that looks like the one i bought. the single din? Would anyone have a guide on a good way to take apart the audi a4 to run the wires?

Do you have a picture of your head unit?

Is it a single DIN or double DIN head unit?

jmac1124 · 11-01-2006, 05:16 PM

Well when i look at your s4 worklog it has the exact same radio.

archimense · 11-01-2006, 05:20 PM

As far as I know the Metra kit I list in my work log is the only one that will fit perfectly.

jmac1124 · 11-01-2006, 05:22 PM

Did yours come in multiple pieces?

archimense · 11-01-2006, 05:29 PM

Yup, it comes as multiple pieces. That way you can install a double DIN head unit, or single DIN head unit and cubby hole.

Installer.com and AudioOutfitter.com were the only two places I found that sold that particular dash kit.

How did you route your wires to your trunk. Becuase i would rather do this myself. les problem no money to pay... Do you have a guide or is there one on the web becuase i could not locate one?

archimense · 11-01-2006, 05:50 PM

In my Jetta I ran the wires through the dash and then under the door sills to the trunk. In the Audi S4 I have not done the install yet.

If you buy a Haynes or Bentley manual it explains how to take the interior panels apart.

jmac1124 · 11-01-2006, 06:03 PM

Would you reccomend that i run it through the door panels. or along trhe bottom of the car right along the doors. Thanks for all of your help so far... are you sure i need a mu;tiple din dash kit. i am only installing a single din deck? the guy at circuitcity said it should be fine... so i am just wondering
