Help Please Soundaktor soundactuator retrofit

[John1999]

Hi all im new to this forum. First off all I do not want to hear anything about how you hate the soundactuator how it is useless etc...
Id like to retrofit the Soundaktor to my A4B8.5 2015 2.0TDI 177hp S line.
I can activate it via obd11 after the retrofit
All i coud find was the Soundaktuator itself and the aktuator module. Id need help with wiring and the install. Please help me Thanks

So whats the use for this on a tdi?

The implementation by merc maybe today interms of sound you'd like to achieve tbh.

Erwin is the online system for audi etc for wiring & procedure's for work on a vehicle.

It will not show you how to retrofit the system generally unless audi made a retrofit kit for the b8.5, I know some chassis did but you'd have to r&d this yourself.

Failing that, pay someone with knowledge to do for you.

The only way to confirm 100% your cars connection & fixing points is via erwin.

Its a paying service, so you need to create an account & pay for time access.

There is an online company that sells copies of these complete workshop manuals, easymanuals and it avoids all the messing about with creating an erwin account - though what you get is just a snap shot of the manual, ie it is not an active set of docs which the online version from erwin will be.

Okay, I’ll risk it with the plan I have

This guy fitted one as part of an exhaust refit. Doesn’t look cheap!

some good info on there including a fitting guide

Thank you, but I’ll go with the OEM style and retrofit the sound aktor on the original spot, I can post updates if anyone is interested.

I recall a thread that mentioned that you can only code it for certain engines. V6 but not 4 pot engines. Have a search around fr it before you spend too much cash.

 

[JohnS3]

I may have the V6 part wrong. This is the thread I was referring to

What do you think should it work ?
