A2EEM Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have just purchased a phatbox unit for my '06 A3 and wanted to know if there was someone around the london area that could install the unit in my glovebox? Also can someone please confirm which cable(s) i'll need for my installation. Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I fitted 1 recently to my wifes TT. What Phatbox do you have, the VW has a different connector to the Audi one. Have you had a look here PhatHack - Index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2EEM Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I brought it from ebay and the guy had it installed in his TT and comes with the lead. I guess as he had it in his TT he will be giving me the audi cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 The cable will plug in to the rear of your HU. You have to load the right firmware on the box, its available from the site I linked to. What HU do you have in the car ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2EEM Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm new to all this but it says concert. Whats the difference between concert I & II? if it makes it easier to understand i have an '06 plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I think the difference is cassette or CD, not sure though. The HU see's the box as a multichanger. You can search the box by Playlist/album/artist/genre. It is very easy to use, my wife has mastered it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2EEM Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 where did u install the Phatbox in your wifes car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Where it is meant to go, in the CD changer bracket. Where would the changer be fitted to your car, you may find the cable is already there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2EEM Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 i guess the cd changer may go in the glovebox because I looked in the boot today and there is no side panels unless they go somewhere else in the A3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2EEM Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks for the links Kite, appreciate your time and efforts! Don't feel confident doing it by myself so may have to look for an installer or take it up to Craigyb for a professional fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
