Hi all, Like a moron didn't keep these when changing a few years ago. Need to get the car back to standard so need some standard non Bose front door speakers and tweeters. Anyone? Leddy

[ QUOTE ] i would never get it fitted by a 'professional' my dad took his car to get one installed and they made a crap job. i'd rather learn how to do it myself and take a day doing it carefully! [/ QUOTE ] Agreed, same with ICE installs, I would always consider myself far more careful than...

Ignition live at the head unit is dependant on the year of the car. Around 2001/2002 (may have been at the facelift), ignition on was a signal through the CAN-BUS. On later vehicles you will have to break into the fusebox switched live. Do a search in the ice forum, as AndyMac did a great...

As all the plugs were included with the seats, i just ran power and earth cables myself and joined them to the power plug. Ran the cables down from the fusebox under the carpet along the door sill and across under the carpet to where the airpug plugs come out. The connection you want at the...

Right, everything fitted. Airbag plugs were the same so that was nic eand easy, ignition and earth was run from the fuse box. All electric amazingly worked first time. Front seats Rear seats

[ QUOTE ] So Leddy what are you doing with your old seats? Also what colour are they? [/ QUOTE ] They are anthracite, was going to stick them on ebay as they are mint, unless someone on here wants them. I can get you some pics tomorrow if you want.

The seats are grey full leather S3 items, and for the moment i'll leave the heating as I haven't had a good think about where to locate the switches. There is a thread in here regarding the blanks either side of the esp switch that would be ideal, but I don't think anyone knows any good OEM...

[ QUOTE ] the other model switches dont fit - i tried lots, and the outer 2 buttons have offset curved edges so an esp switch doesnt fit either without substantial modification ie cut and glue etc. [/ QUOTE ] That's a major pain in the backside. I'd really like some on/off switches to go...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] hat would be a real bonus, I won't know until I've got everything stripped really. The other fortunate thing is that the seller included the car end of the loom so I have the S3 plugs if I need to do some on-the-fly rewiring! [/ QUOTE ] You should be carefull doing any...

[ QUOTE ] also leddy i've just noticed your car is a 2002 spec, now i'm unsure what interior you've bought but guess it's an s3 one, in which case you might find you don't have any airbag connector problems that i had because later A3's have the same connectors as S3's, goodluck with the change...
