Thanks for the video. I installed a similar kit today in my A3 and used your video to help locate the correct wires to tap into to power the kit properly. Saved me time and a lot of guesswork! A few installation tips I discovered: Use the Audi version of the removal keys...I tried cheap knock-offs that did not engage with the head unit. Audi versions cost me 16USD from a local dealer. Another way to check if you have connected properly to switched 12VDC is to watch the Bluetooth connection in the settings function on your phone...status should change from connected to not-connected after car is shut off, key removed from ignition, and driver's door opened and closed. Cheers!

FR: Mettez le "+" (fil rouge du module) sur D13 et le "-" (fil noir du module) sur D12 pour que le module s'éteigne quelques secondes ou minutes après avoir éteint l'autoradio ou le contact de la voiture. Donc ça n'usera pas la batterie. EN: Put the "+" (red wire of the module) on D13 and the "-" (black wire of the module) on D12 so that the module turns off a few seconds or minutes after turning off the car radio or the car ignition. So it won't wear out the battery.
