concert radio

[shadquattro]

i have added a concert radio to my car on the rear is a black wire that we assume is for the auto changer with a flat end covered in black rubber is there a wire available that extends this to a 8 pin socket thing on the end of the auto changer

I'm assuming you've got this radio from an A3 or A4 or similar?

There is a cable that runs from the head unit to the boot area where the CD changer is housed. It is already fitted to the car though.

You'll have to either buy the cable from a stealer (can Martyn help?) or get one from a breaker.

You can pick up the changers on eBay all the time, but I don't think I've ever seen one with the cable.

Did the concert unit fit ok?
I thought it might be a bit wide?
Have you got any pics, as I would like to get the factory look unit in my car.
Cheers

definitely too wide and i have nt got it fitted or working yet but it will just havent had time

There are 2 different sizes of concerts, probably 1 for a3 and a4's and another for a8's

The Concert might just fit... there are two spacers either side of our stock radio that take up the slack from the bigger radios installed on the German home market, it's just possible that it will fit!!

[GlynRS2]

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Still not sure if it is wide enough for those factory Audi radios - will have to ask someone with an S4/RS4 to do a quick measure up for me.

[shadquattro]

think mines from a tt and its definitely too big and i havent given up hope of getting it going

[Graham]

I will have a look but i removed the autochanger and i am certain i removed the cable as well, i will have a look. It will be in the garage, and if anyone wants the changer its up for offers.

Hope you get the "Concert" up and running, a real nice system it is too! As a stock unit in my A6 Avant it really sounds nice. Hope you get it working!

[shadquattro]

we had concert system in s4 it was good thats why i got it, i would nt let mike finish fitting it with petrol leak so hopefully soon it will be nice to have some sound and then they will here me coming

I measured the appeture in our cars - it is a rather odd 21cm wide without the spacers at each side.
Audi factory radios are 22cm wide up until 2001 (the ones with the volume knob in the centre) see:

The latest ones are even wider at 22.7cm wide (the ones with a knob on each side):

So no go there.
The only thing with the new wider units is there is quite a bit of the fascia at each side of these units that is redundant and could possibly be trimmed, but that could be a costly/brave exercise

Right one sliced knuckle later and the multichanger and cable and adapter are out, here is the multi changer:
P.S. How do you attach multiple photos in the post??
