  • Stereo and front speakers is now installed and functional. The 4" speakers fitted, but it was a tight fit, the magnet in the bottom was much larger than stock speakers. The original speaker cover also fitted back on, so i'm pleased with that. The sound of just the front speakers is also much better than before (original front speakers was the only ones that worked before).
    Now it's the rear speakers left to mount and connect. But for that i need the door cards wich still is at the car interior guy.
    So i started with some other interior jobs. As i'm going to fit carbon interior trims, i needed to change the trims for the clima-control, extra gauges and the ashtray. Said and done, while i was in there i changed light bulbs for the ciggarette light, the ashtray, clima panel, extra-gauges and the glove box. I will also look over the window switches light, rear mirrors light, diff lights and instrument cluster lights to get them all to work. It's make it much more cosy when everything works

    Difference between original 4" and Focal 4" speakers:

    Microphone for the handsfree mounted at the top of the A-pillar, works really well and is almost not visible:

    Mounted stereo and black trims, i need to adjust the light setting for the stereo to match the rest some more:

    Carbon airbag getting installed, the old one had 2-contacts for the airbag charges the carbon just one. But as these are so rare to find i don't want to connect it anyway, installed 2 x 2ohm restrictors to the contacts to get the airbag light functional for the MOT. Right or wrong, but i dont dare to connect it if it blows:

    Some new plastic parts that was missing/ugly:

    Instrument cluster after rebuild of the trip-computer. Also installed new lights (led) for the instrumens, but i missed the digital clock, will fix that. The Auto-check is now also showing signs of life, the code 51 appears to come up if the knob for the (interior light/autocheck) is pushed in as the ignition is turned on. This make sence since my knob is stucked for some reason. I will dissasemble it some day and change to a spare one i have on my S2 instument cluster. Then hopefully the Auto-check also comes to life again

    Now i have some lights to start to change for buttons etc and hopfully i get my door cards back soon.

        Thanks. Actually we have 2 Mr and Ms. They are just fine, sleeping for the most

        • I like the speaker install, it one of the jobs on my list when I finally get to the interior. Did you have to make any modifications to fit the speakers or were they plug & play as it were. I'm wanting to replace all the speakers in the car but don't want to start cutting chucks out of things.

            So far i have just mounted the front ones. I had to trim off two ears on the speakers. As the original only uses two. The new speakers was really tight to get down, but when they are down they stay in place. They are held down with one screw, like the original. And as said before, the cover fits, so you cant see that the speakers is changed.

            • Work is proceeding. Autocheck began to work correctly after i dissasembled the knob, wich was faulty mounted (stuck in pushed position). So now that works fine.
              Today i changed some light bulbs that were blown. With the help from past forum posts i changed light bulbs in the outside temp gauge and the diff lock switch. So now i mounted back the instrument cluster for the last time in a while i hope Been out and in a million times by now. Called the interior guy today, he has not started on my door cards yet. That was sad news, but no stress. I have some pics of some shining interior stuff anyway! Now i will continue with the window switches and rear mirror switch lights.

              • Aha, there should be illumination in the diff switch. I didn't know that.
                I have the DIFF, orange triangle and green led working but not the normal lighting. I'll add it to the list of fixes...

                    I did not know that either a couple of weeks ago
                    This is the thread i ment. But it is the same procedure i think.

                      Thanks. Yes, its really satisfying. The Auto-check and trip computer has bothered me since i bought the car. I want my "brems licht" OK

                      • Nice work! I did not know the drivetrain should be lighted. I'll check that one mine. Please know that the resistor value that Audi used in the mirrow switches is way too low for LED's to survive long term. I think they did this do get a decent light output out of the LED's available at the time. You can now buy better high intensity LED's for this, so you need to replace the resistor with a correct value (around 800 Ohms), so they will not die prematurely.
                        I wrote a (although in Dutch) guide for this here.

                          I was surprised also, didn't know it either. The leds i bought for the window switches has a built in resistor, about 1200 Ohms if i did the math right. 12V/0,01A=1200ohm. Will se how they work.

                          • That should work well. To be exact, the voltage when driving is around 13.5V and you lose around 0.6 (depending on the LED) over the LED itself. With a built-in its even easier, as there is room for the resistor in the switch, however not to have to bother with it should make installation easier.

                            Good luck! I'm curious how it turns out.

                            When my RS2 goes out of winter-sleep (it's covered right now) I'll check my diff-lock switch to see if the lights work properly.

                            • Hi, and happy new year to everyone!
                              I saw i didn't update the status here in a while. I'm still waiting for my door cards to get back. But i have things to do anyway, so it doesen't really matter.
                              I have changed lights in all seven window buttons and also the rear mirror switch. I really recommend the guide here if you are thinking about doing this job:

                              • Not so much have been done to the car. Still waiting on my door cards from the apolstry company... Been a long time now, i have called him two times to ask if he forgot about me. I hope to have them soon so i can assemble the cars interior/speakers.
                                Some weeks ago me and the girlfriend bought a garage with a house. So in the beginning of june we will move from the apartment and finally i will have my own garage. Then i can have both the RS2 and the UrS4 under the same roof..
                                Will get back with updates as soon as something happens
                                Also got a new daily car after some years of nagging on the GF. (We have only use for one car, i drive a service van to work), and the girlfriend had a KIA

                                New daily:
