Hi there As the title says "Need help with Junsun Media Centre" running Android 12.0 I have an Android phone. I have installed this media centre and connected up the following hardware items ; 1) ADAS DVR Front Camera 2) Rear camera 3) GPS 4) DAB system box 1) ADAS DVR Front Camera, How do I get to that section on my unit 2) The rear camera gets its power when the reverse gear/light is operated but does not show on the centre, how do I get to that section on my unit. 3) GPS is working but I can't get to that section on my unit. 4) The DAB system box is connected (as per the instructions supplied) but on automatic scanning, I do not get any radio stations. The instructions that were supplied are very vague, for example the two USB ports allow you to fit either way up or down. The English translation leaves a lot to be desired Audi A3 1.9Tdi 3-door hatchback March 2009 making it an 8P1

Hi there peeps As the title says "Does anybody know where this fits on my passenger seat". I had cause to take out the passenger seat of my vehicle to find the source of a water leak which had accumulated in the passenger footwell, this item (seen in the images) fell onto the floor. I have tried Google images with "audi a3 seat components 8p1" and can not see anything that resembles it whatsoever. If a member supplied an image of a passenger seat frame with an arrow pointing to the item I would be pleased. It measures 135mm x 12mm, composed of metal & plastic, finally, it is spring-loaded, on the image "seat unit 2" left-hand side is the spring's location.

Panic over I have just found out the price of the new type, plus the MOT etc. etc. so I am going to re-fit my old bulbs😃

Hey there guys & gals I have a problem which I sincerely hope a UK member will be able to help me out. I have an Audi A3 1.9Tdi 2009 3-door hatchback making it an 8P1. I need some advice on an upgrade for my headlights that will meet the current U.K M.O.T testing standards as laid down by the D.V.S.A. This is their link > Aftermarket HID Headlamps - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) > I have LED headlights and main beam in at the moment but they fail because the M.O.T tester can NOT get a pattern. The tester has told me that I only need to change the headlight bulbs the LED main beams are O.K.

Hi Cliff Please see this from another Forum VW Audi Forum Thread title Does 2011 A3 need battery coding? 31satara Hopefully a short one. A freind has a 2011 2l petrol A3. In Febuary his battery (original) was completely flat and he bought a new Bosch S4 (74Ah) which I fitted for him. Yesterday it wouldn't start or turn over. When I went to look today the battery was completly flat, 4V off-load. Being retired he doesn't use the car much - maybe once a week a few miles to the shops and back. Normally I would suspect that he's just not using it enough, but it seemed odd that the battery was so flat (unless he has left things on, but he says not). He then said he had been looking on the internet and some cars need new batteries coding - can anyone tell me if this model does need replacement battery coding? Thanks 31satara I don't think it is the 2l, rather the 1.8tfsi philipharmes It's usually only cars fitted with stop/start systems ( and therefore AGM or EFB batteries ) that need coding. Fexo Yes, I fitted an S4 to my wife's old A4 Avant and no coding was needed. When the battery on my A3 with stop/start had to be replaced, that did need coding. Hold on: my car is a late 2011 A3 2 litre TDI and has stop/start. Are you sure about the battery? The garage was going to fit a standard S4 on mine until they realised it had stop/start which requires a much more powerful (and expensive) one. 31satara Thanks for the info. It doesn't have stop/start nor the multi-media display which seem to be pointers towards coding required. However, the owners manual that came with it states coding is needed when replacing the battery. I connected it to VCDS and was able to go through the coding proceedure without issue. Hopefully that will improve it a bit, but I'm still not convinced it will make much difference - I think he just needs to use it more (it's only got 35k on the clock). There must be loads of similar cars that have had replacement batteries fitted without being recoded. Texmilb I have a 2011 2.0 TDI with stop/start and when my battery died 4 years ago I just fitted a replacement from Halfords and has been no problem ever since. The spelling mistakes are not of my doing. So I draw this conclusion, my A3 does not have a start facility, I will now leave the battery cables in situ and I will plug my Audi Chorus back in, the only thing that I will do is leave the bonnet unlatched, so if I say IF it fails to start then I will be able to jump-start it. To be honest I can see that the alternator is charging the battery, but the first time that it fails to start then I will let you guys know, also I will update you as to how many days since the engine was running, so I will class this as 20th May DAY 1

Right I am going try and write this again, the first session disappeared when I tried to “copy and paste” some text, so this time I writing it all in a word document. What I previously wrote was something like this. My vehicle was purchased 16th January 2020 I think it only fair I give you a full rundown of what I have done and had done to the car up to date, what will be missing are the dates, sorry. These are not in any order but just as I remembered them New battery (1) New driver’s door lock Bonnet resprayed ( I know it has nothing to do with starting or electrical problems ) Replaced the wiring harness driver’s door New key and chip programmed at my home Installed LED lighting all round (no capacitor’s needed) Removed Audi Chorus New clutch with “Dual mass flywheel” New battery (2) which was returned due to buckled plates New battery(3) purchased 15th January 2024 The data for this battery is 72Ah 650CCA which is way more than advertised. I had been removing the positive lead when new battery (2) was on the car, I don’t do it now, BUT I still get the crackle when I am putting on either negative or positive lead. As the text from Cliff, “PS. Don't forget to have the new battery coded to the car or it won't work,” On the internet [www.htsaves.com ] I find the following text How Long Does it Take to Leave the Battery Disconnected to Reset the Car’s Computer? To reset your car’s computer, you should disconnect the battery and allow time for the residual energy in the electrical circuits to dissipate completely. Typically, this process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. This ensures that all the stored electricity is cleared out of the system. Old battery (2) off new battery (3) on changeover was minutes nowhere near 15 minutes, the battery ( 3) had already been charged up awaiting my arrival. I have just had a thought with battery (2) it was left off overnight and sometimes more than a day But when I reconnected the battery I got the crackle but the engine would start and run without a problem. With battery (3) I do not disconnect either lead, I’ll just jump in the car go to the roundabout and back total maybe 2 miles, pull it up onto the drive switch off and go inside. I am now booked in @ Halfords for a “battery efficiency” check 09:30 Monday morning. I will appraise you of the results and I will upload any documentation should I get it. Till tomorrow then Tony P.S I know that I have included certain items that are not electrical related

Sorry Cliff The problem with the car is that it is left not used for 5 - 6 days If fails to start OR is very sluggish and refuses to start. I have not had my Audi Chorus plugged in since then. Previously I was disconnecting the positive lead and then in the morning I would reconnect it and get a slight crackle between the positive lead and the battery. If I know that I am not going to be using the car for a while, i.e. early February I went to Turkey for surgery so I knew I would be away for a while, so it was disconnected, I came home and reconnected the battery obviously started fine.

Hi there Clifford & Gareth Many thanks for contributing to my thread. I think that the best solution is for me to show you the battery etc. 12v 72Ah 650CCA I have also located the website The battery website I will now let you ask questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Hi there Cliff At long last, I was able to get around to the car (stacked up with laptop repairs) and started to test. First thing I latched the driver's door and did the same to the bonnet catch. Waited about 30-40 minutes, and sleep time varies from Forum to Forum, so I took an average, some people say 2 hours some say 4 or 5 minutes, go figure. I used the Red lead on my DVM on the 10a scale connected to the battery NEG post & the Black DVM lead to the Negative lead from the vehicle, as seen in the image. What I found was 0.06mA see image, I removed the 50a fuse and it disappeared see image. I have tried to find out what this 50a fuse is protecting but failed miserably. Oh by the way my radio is not fitted. So I look to you guys & gals to come up with a solution. As a final note when I connected the Negative lead from the vehicle there was a slight crackle similar to what I get on re-attaching the positive lead from the vehicle.

Hi, there peeps, I have an A3 1.9Tdi 3-door hatchback from March 2009 making it a 8P1. > As the title states I have had this drain for some time now and have been unable to find the source despite the usual testing methods, i.e. digital meter on the mA range with the leads in the correct orientation, any way to cut a long story, I took out all the under dashboard cover's, steering column, glovebox etc. in a search for an obvious short etc. At this time I was disconnecting the positive lead from the battery and I manually locked the car. At the same time as this was happening, I purchased a new Junsun multi-media entertainment system ( I was awaiting arrival from China) to replace my Audi Chorus which I took out, it then started raining due to various other circumstances including the weather I was not able to get back to the car. Finally, I then started looking for any signs of a fault using my HEX-V2 dongle, there were several fault codes but NONE that related to what I was experiencing. I don't know what made me do it but I checked the multiplug for the Audi Chorus (the radio is in the house) for any signs of a supply and I found it in the multiplug, at this stage, there was no key in the ignition and both doors were shut, while sat in the car I pressed the remote to lock the car and waited and waited and I still had a supply from the multiplug. So after a bit of research etc. I found the fuses are located in the engine bay # 8 and 9 I proved this by removing them and checking the multiplug supply it has now gone, so reinstated said fuses now back to square one. First thing if I go out to the car in the morning take off the positive lead and then tap the positive battery post I get a very small spark which tells me something is energized but take out the fuse and there is no spark, I forgot to mention the door and the bonnet catch have been put into the lock position and I have to wait about an hour to start this procedure (sorry cart before the horse). What is really puzzling me is why is the multiplug still live even when the car has gone to sleep etc.

Hi there Cliff As a beta tester you have to answer some fairly technical question's and then sign an N.D.A first and foremost then afterwards you are sent a disc and instructed to install it onto a standalone machine i.e. laptop preferred the same for both Windows 95 & eventually 98

Hi there Cliff Thanks for your response I have an A3 1.9Tdi 3 door hatchback March 2009 8P1 NOT an A3 (8V) Regarding MSN I was a Microsoft beta tester Windows 95 & Windows 98 I never got to hear about spyware. I am still a registered "Windows Insider"

Hi there Cliff Thanks for your response BUT your link takes me to a website who I have never heard of once there I found that the results were for Audi A3 wiring diagram on YouTube Audi A3 (8V) not what I was looking for. AUDI A3 Wiring Diagrams - Car Electrical Wiring Diagram Did not have what I was looking for it and to muddy the waters it had schematics thrown in for good measure. Clicking on another supposed Audi A3 link I get 404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

Wiring diagram showing various circuits I am seeking wiring diagram/diagrams showing various circuits and their corresponding wiring colours 1. Electric windows on both sides 2. Electric door mirrors 3. Door power lock/unlock circuit 4. Audi factory-fitted alarm While I have your attention I would also like the various locations of all the modules in the car A3 1.9Tdi 3-door hatchback March 2009 8P1 As this thread will be viewed by people with left-hand drive vehicles I would prefer right-hand drive details, please. I do not want a schematic
