    Stereos from new

    So wondered what stereo units were fitted in the s2 when new ? Anyone on here had theirs from new , had an S2 that was 2 years old back in the day and that iirc had a Sony unit in it, but unsure if it was fitted after being purchased..

    The S2s could be ordered with or without radios. With radio meant factory speakers as well. Without usually meant with factory speakers installed (but no radio). "With" radios were likely either Blaupunkt or "Audi". I have magazine articles from back in the day showing a Blaupunkt (can't see the model) and I have an S2 brochure in front of me that shows an "Audi" "gamma" (not do be confused with Audi Bose "Gamma CC"). The gamma has a cassette slot but no "MODE" but = not likely that is controlled a CD changer.

    The Gamma CC Audi Bose units we got in the UrS4s in NAmerica had a MODE button and you could switch between radio, cassette and CD changer (CD changer was a Blaupunkt/Sony and communicated with the Gamma CC via a silver transceiver box).

        Audi UK used Sony, not sure when though. But all of my 95 UK (*)S2s came with Sony oem
        In ireland and Europe Blaupunkt was used.

            Maybe true for LHD but here in the UK Audi UK decided to declare UDI and fitted Sony units as contemporary road tests will afirm. My '96 ABY can with a Sony unit from new.

              I am NOT doubting what you are saying but could you suggest a few of these contemporay road tests so I check to see if I am missing something from my 20VT (AQS/RR, S2, RS2, UrS4/S6) magazine collection.

                Fairly sure the Sony stereo fitment for UK models started for the 1995 MY cars.

                Blaupunkt was standard before that

                        The Gamma CC manual doesn't show how to select the CD changer.

                          edit: according to this link OEM CD changers are only compatible with the Bose versions of the Gamma CC.

                            thats the 'problem' owners manual is about the delta cc... lol.

                            some b4s came to brasil with the silver box charger and the gamma radio. and some came with this configuration...delta cc + pioneer 6 cds charger...

                            the old owner is an old man....70 years old... he never listen the cds in the charger...so he dont remember...

                            sorry for my f*k bad english.....

                            thanks for your time.

                              Not sure either but, in NAmerica, the Audi/Bose Gamma CC radio head units MODE button was the lowest button on the right side, beside the SCAN and below the AM button. I can't see what the button says in your photo:
