Audi radio replacement guide by EnfigCarStereo.com

[Christian@enfig]

I'm going to build this post with information about all Audi's and their audio systems. I'm going to cover all aspects including but not limited to speaker and amplifier replacement, radio replacement, CarPlay/ Android Auto interfaces, wired to wireless CarPlay/Android Auto interfaces. If it has to do with anything audio or visual in the car ask away. Below I will post links to specific model posts in order to keep the information organized.



Below is the original post from 2023
Hey guys we get alot of calls and E-mails with radio installation questions. I decided to make this sticky to help anyone who is confused.
We also sell the following brands of radios radios even though they are not on the site.

Alpine (installation only)
Clarion
JVC
Kenwood
Kenwood Excelon (installation only)
Parrot
Pioneer

There will be more updates to our how-to but to start if you tell me what you have I can tell you what you need.
If you need help this is is what I need from you. I will respond in this thread.

1. Year and model of car
2. What radio did the car come with from the factory. (It doesn't matter if you have Bose)
3.Does the car have steering wheel controls?
4 What is the brand and model number of your new radio?
5. Are you going to be using a Sirius XM satellite tuner if yes which one?

Call me up. I have the super rare speaker adapters for the car. And you will need an adapter for the low level outputs.

Since the car has a fiber input into the amp yes. You can tap into the sub wire going to the factory sub. The that sub is EQ'd so you would not get a full spectrum of sound.

You can activate the pick up and hang up but not the siri. Radios sometimes have a voice dial button on the face.

Backup cameras are no problem either.

Took a look at the kenwood ddx770 in person and didn't care for the display. I like the jvc av61bt. Based on your earlier response, do I just need to swap out two of the items you listed to these?

Awesome ! So I just need to add each item to cart and order? How much would shipping the head unit to Montreal, Canada cost me? I need to make a final decision, to see if I buy the pioneer locally. I'd rather get it all from you though, including the radio, but need to make sure it makes sense first. Let me know!
Thanks!

You can add the items to the cart to get a shipping quote. To get a quote with the radio you would have to call in.
