Hi..I went to a shop hear in Miami to get my flip out radio/tv installed in my Audi A4 2001 1.8T QUATTRO and they told me that to get my radio installed i would have to run wire's to every single speaker, because the system that i have is the AUDI SYMPHONY is that true and they wanna charge me 180.00 but im not going to pay that price because i think it's a rip off any input will be helpful thank you.

 

Yep it's true. The rear deck and door panels need removed. There is an amp on the drivers side rear deck speaker that needs to be bypassed if not using the stock radio. That is the main bitch of it- explained here. Usually people just upgrade their speakers since they have to go to all this trouble just to upgrade to a different head unit.

 

I bypassed my amp as i upgraded my Radio with a Pioneer head unit and Pioneer speakers

 

And you don't have a DIY video or a writeup with pics on this for our DIY section??? I'm very surprised and disappointed in you! jk

 

Lol well look who's come back from the grave to give us all hell!

 

your gonna be annoyed(have no idea why)but i took a couple short clips of the amp and headunit being installed,sorry no diy things were not organized as such,where i could even begin to do that. it was crazy!

 

So do you guy's think that 180.00 is a fair price or a Little too much but i am gonna shop around and i dont like messing with wire's im a take your engine apart and look at it guy and then put it back together i leave all that to some one else oh and i also plug back in connector's and that's it!!


oh and only work on N/A car's dont touch turbo set up's and i have a 1.8T motor in my car i know ironic huh?

 

dude,180.00 is cheap,for a Audi audio setup,every shop will charge more on vw and Audi cars,its not as straight forward as a honda,the fact that our cars comes with a bose speaker setup that has a factory amp,that has to be either bypassed or used,depending on a few factors.

 

ok..another question will it sound the same like will i still hear it the same or will it improve or will it deteriorate the sound......sorry for the question's IM A NOOB WHEN IT COME"S TO ELECTRICAL AND SOUND SYSTEM"S

 

I am not using anything stock in my after market Pioneer Head unit,so it sounds far better than the stock setup,you will hear and if you get a subwoofer and a separate amp for it,with 4 new speakers and a amp for those,you'll also FEEL the difference.

When i am watching a movie on my 7" AVH-P4200DVD head unit,i feel like i am at the movie theater with the subwoofer bang'n and the 4 speakers delivering that surround sound to my ears!

you won't regret it man!!
