ChrisHorris Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Hi all, I’ve recently got a A3 8PA and I’m looking for a head unit - very simplistic one. i can’t seem to find any that fit - does anyone know if it’s possible in this model variant and any recommendations?

Magnet Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Welcome Chris, and thanks for joining. Could you let us know whether you are looking to replace the original (Concert-I think) set up with something different, or don’t you currently have anything fitted? Kind regards, Gareth.

ChrisHorris Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 Hi all, Sorry for the delay! I’m looking for an Android one yeah to replace the Concert. Theres so many, but I just don’t know which one will work and which harness or wiring setup to use with them. I don’t want to do custom splicing and etc 😄 Would appreciate any links or kits people may have used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Chris. I looked into doing exactly that a few years ago, but eventually did not order anything because all of what was available at the time required me to cut and join wires without clear instructions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybrook Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Do you have the half amplified or bose system? I have the non bose and found a fitting kit with looms and facia adapter for £20 odd on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybrook Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Sorry hopefully this is correct. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185943774032?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=g_UaOp-ZS5a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=jXAV2kTOQHK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY If the xtrons has a standard iso loom then it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiGaDtHeBiGlAd Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 leythdave you can tell if it's a Bose system by the 2x 6x9's in the near side boot panel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leythdave Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I think I may have solved the problem in a fashion. Separate Apple car play unit mounted to the dash with an FM transmitter using the stereo system. Would this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybrook Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 It will work if you want to keep the car original, fm transmitters are a bit naff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
