I installed a JVC stereo using a 3rd party harness on my 2001 Audi TT Roadster. This video was extremely helpful at getting my system working. I tried using the wiring diagram but was not successful by myself. This video helped me tremendously and now my car radio rocks!!!

So watched your vid in prep of installing a deck in my buddies TT roadster... your vid was great precise and accurate. Even did the whole thing and waited to see if I’d have the “on off pop”... I did, so drove to Walmart and got an LOC prob solved. Trim plate fit shitty too but my guy won’t notice. Vids like yours is why KZread is so great... continuously lets me save money and or make money! THUMBS UP!!!

Thank you! Only video that actually helped. I appreciate it.

hello. Just bought a 2001 Audi TT with Bose. Watched your video several times and it seemed straightforward. I have done a lot of aftermarket work on my cars so I do know a bit. Unfortunately, the Metra connector doesn't seem to match up with my Audi harness. I'm stumped. The connectors that are available on line all seem identical to the Metra connector I already have. Thx.

Nice

Does the flap still close?

When I bought my 2004 Audi TT from a friend it already had aftermarket Kenwood stereo in it everything's working fine I hooked up an amp system with a couple 12 got it all together everything was working fine I shut the power off and went to turn it back on and now the Kenwood stereo is like it's stuck it's coming on but I'm not able to do anything as far as go in and set anything the way I want to what can I do is the stereo bad or did I not connect something correctly

Awesome video! But I got a question… I don’t know if you could help me tho because it’s a Mk4 Jetta so the wiring it’s a little different but I’ll ask anyway… I got it all connected, it works just fine but when I turn the car off all the settings reset, besides the Bluetooth connection with my phone(that stays). I also have a subwoofer and the power light from the sun stays always on but I can hear the sub starting when I turn the ignition on because it pops once(which I don’t know if it should). Thank you very much in advance!

I couldn't help but notice in the video (before you talked about using an LOC) you had the two front channels hooked up (speaker/high level) on the harness while also using the low level/RCA's. Is there a reason for this? (This can be seen in the video clearly at 6:16 for example.) My thinking is the deck powers a couple channels the Bose amp does not!? I have yet to pull the deck on my car and take a look. Just curious. Great Video, sub'd!

Can you link the antenna adapter that you used?

I k ow this is 5yrs old but I recently got a a tt and noticed the rear speakers don't work. Haven't pulled the stereo out yet but before I get in there, what is the common problem for this happening? Is it the harness?

The little radio flap didnt close after installing the pioneer did it? Damn i really wanted to i stall a aftermarket radio!!!! but instead i got a kit to add the blutooth to my TT you should check it out incase you come across another TT customer Great vid man!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi, I have a 2004 Audi TT. I brought a harness and I’ve been trying to figure out which one connects where but can’t seem to figure it out. Mines with 2 front and 2 rear speakers with an amp. Will u able to help me out? Also didn’t u have to connect to a 12V power source as well?

What wires did you connect already? And do you have all the wiring harness specific to the car? There should be a red bose connector, that will connect the rca jacks from the aftermarket radio to the amp. There's a black connector for power, acc, ground, etc. And the amped radio antenna. Also, how many plugs are connected to your factory radio?

We did, just to reduce the "pop" when we turned on the radio. If you find you don't have the "pop", you won't need it.

Does the DIS on the instrument cluster still work after installing the stereo?

No. You lose that functionality

Did you wire the LOC to a constant power or on/off connection?

@2010ngojo

I don't think he used the line out converter for this installation. He used the rca jacks with the red connector that connectors to the amp. If you want to hook up an loc, you probably want an on/off connection. Edit: I take that back. I see he used an loc. You can also use a ground loop noise isolator to reduce the popping noise.

How do you like the radio now having it for more than a month. I Have a Pioneer HD radio now I want one with bluetooth.

Not a TT, but Mk1 A3, same base anyway. Did wiring just fine, it works great, but only the rears as front ones blew out prior to me buying it. I don't understand mounting. If you want to put a cage inside the hole, it won't fit all the way in, and the head unit will stick out some 4 cm outwards. If you DON'T put the cage in, the unit becomes loose in the hole, and you can pull it out when removing a USB stick from the port pretty much. Any ideas on how to fix it?

hi, i bought Pioneer MVH-X381BT for TT 2000 and the installation guy told me that he can't connect it to my old bose amplifiers and he told me I have to buy a new amplifier and speaker and give up my old amplifier. is it true? or is he just incapable of connecting two or trying to sell me off some speaker and amplifier? thank you so much and can you plz explain to me how to connect two? thank you

Nope, he is trying to upsell you. Follow the steps in the video and it's totally doable. All parts used are in the description of the video.

Thanks worked great. I do have the "pop" sound but I guess that is going to be my next fix.

This video doesnt cover the fact that some TTs have a power amp. Also, looking at the pinout, there is no front/rear distinction, only right left. This is becoming huge pita

Please tell me where the bose amp is located on this car?

the bose amp is located in the drivers side rear quarter panel.. You'll need to remove the rear quarter panel, and its under there, Held in by 3 10mm nuts.

Hi, all my speakers work but every time I shut the ignition off it resets the stereo, furthermore, it drains the battery when it’s off. What could this be?

@nathaneberline1067

Жыл бұрын

You need to switch the yellow wire with the red wire . Yellow is the 12v full time that for memory and the red is to the ignition so it sends power to stereo only when key is on

Why did you say the third red connector is not used? I only see two? One on the car and one on the new connector...?

@ProvoBeastAudio

Depends based on the features your model has. There was a third connector we didn't use which was tucked back in the dash.

Why is my radio staying on with key off?

Hopefully my comment isn't late, Anyway, I tried installing a stereo, a previous owner installed one but I didn't like it too much. I seem to be missing some connection ports.... I have the bose system, the speakers say so, the previous stereo seemed to confirm it as well as looking up what the car originally came with but (looking at a wiring diagram) I'm missing plugs B and D as well as the grounding plug. There is also a red wire that I suspect is supposed to be the ignition wire????? But no power comes from it and it doesn't have any continuity with ground. With the install I used what I had, plugs A and C, the radio turns on and plays music, but I can hear the bad grounding from the engine, the staticy poppy sound when the engine is on, and the rear speakers don't work. Any suggestions?

Please-mention the Pioneer model you installed in this Audi TT!😊😊
