Everybody says audi is one of the top class and looks like it has no normal standard interfaces /peripherals ?

If gadget connections are so important to you, why buy a car without checking such things first?

It isn't priority of course but I just enjoying car and now I decided to connect freakin phone bcos radio music is sht .. I don't listen commercial music  but specific .. And was looking for aux and nowhere to be found .. so .. many ppl on youtube has same issue ..   So what are solutions..?

Welcome to the forum Peter :)

 depending on your radio you probably can get it activated on the computer or get a plug in, into the back of the radio. 

Or finally you can get a Bluetooth kit. You'll probs be looking around £150-£300 approx. From companies such as parrot. 

I have found Audi don't put as much kit in as standard as they base there vehicle price on quality instead of gadgets if that makes sense? 

Hence why seats and slides will Have it. 

Hope iv helped 

cheers

not particularly helpful and neither was your first post. although yeah a check before buying would have been good. 

What model is it Pedro?? as said, Audi don;t include a lot on base models but there are options available to you to retro fir a connection, just depends how much you want to spend ,

I have seen these fitted to a3s. Normally people fit them near to the blanking plates on the centre console on the dash. Normally above the radio if that makes sense. 

Im unsure if you have to update the software but I believe you plug it in the back of the radio. 

Cheers

Great minds think alike ;) 

yes it will be if it's the 2011 model. They didn't change the shape until 2012 :) 

you can always check the image on here. As in each vehicle model has the image of the model associated with it, if that makes sense. In failing that have a look on Wikipedia or google images :)

cheers

The remarks by CliffCoggin were hilarious. How clever and what a Kentish wit. Despite them Ive joined the forum today and look forward to a positive and useful interaction with other A3 owners. Adrian.

Pedro that look superb. How did you get the usb socket into the dashboard blank??

Ive gone the whole hog and booked in for Apple Car play for my iPhone 6. 

A

It was  bit  messy job .. pioneer supply 2 cables usb because radio has two usbs  one for android one for iphone .. I have android so I connected only android usb as there was no space left for second usb

I removed that plastic cover and drilled  and drilled holes then had to file it to usb rectangle shape ..  and glued it to stop moving .. had to make bigger hole in that socket to feed cable through. Mic was easy because thin cable and is circle so I drilled hole only with drill ..
