GTI_Boi Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Sorry mate I don't think it will work! May physically fit but the factory wire the car based on what's in it so you would have to have the wiring fitted and the antenna fitted (I think that even if it has one it may not work with the sat nav).

chasdrury Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 It will work - I can do that bit, just needed to know if it would pysically fit! Put a satnav in my sisters A3, My A4 and My mums A4 so you definately can do it!! Thanks for the advice all Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 The factory wiring for the concert II+ is almost identical, the only wire to move is the BOSE wire on and A3 from pin 5 to pin 7 on the B connector. If you don't have BOSE then you don't need to do that. The antenna connectors are identical (twin fakra), but the Diversity is missing so some FM reception is degraded. But generally the problem is not noticeable. The only thing to add is the GPS receiver. [ QUOTE ] Sorry mate I don't think it will work!

[/ QUOTE ] Try looking at www.navplus.us - where you'll see it IS possible to retrofit the Audi DVD sat nav to an A2 (difficult), an 8P A3 (easy), a B6/B7 A4 (easy), a C5 A6 (easy), etc... Most dealers say it's impossible but it certainly IS possible, several hundred people worldwide have done it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
