Hi, I'm new, Just got my self an Audi A3 1.8T Quattro 2000 plate.
I have a slight problem with putting in my own headunit. I bought the car with already a Pioneer head unit. But I want to put my nicer JVC head unit in instead. I've got it all working and wired up in a sense. But only the front speakers are working and the headunit loses memory after you pull the key out the ignition each time.
But As the car has the bose system I.e amplified sound. there's a pin connector with 3 plugs which are joined (Yellow, Green and Blue/Cyan) the red plug plugs into them all when joined but only has wires coming out of the right hand side of whcih I think must be the front speakers. the other two plugs guessing is cyan = sub/ amp and green = rear speakers? is this right? But there's no connectors for this. My headunit has 2x/3x RCA outputs available on top of subwoofer rca's and line-in RCA's.
The red plug has 3 sections to it obviously the right hand side is set up correct but the other 3 sections don't have any connectors or wires coming out of it...
Regards, to the memory, there is an additional spare yellow wire. Do you think this the memory lead also? even though the wire from my headunit is connected to another yellow wire labelled memory. or is there two that need to be joined? i.e I need to buy a splitter from somewhere for the yellow wire. Or there is a split red power wire left free can i attach the yellow to the red? or will that be dodgy? As I know memory wire does carry power just like the red one does.
Does anyone know what i need to get this all wired up and fitted properly?
Any help would be appreciated. I hope I've explained this well enough if not I can go into more detail.
thanks
