[@morganm1667]

Hey John, love your videos. I'm in the U.K. and I have a 2009 Audi A3 cabriolet. Been following your vids for a long time now TY It doesn't look like idoing have one for my car. Thing is, I don't like what some of the other brands offer for my model because they put chrome volume and tuning knobs on each side to emulate the A3 O.G.aesthetic. It, and it's custom bezel eats into screen real-estate big time! I'm thinking I might need something non-custom-fit, like a mount offering but have no idea what would be compatible. My clueless-ness has had me just sitting, stuck, on just the idea of upgrading my stock unit for years. If you're ever at a loose end, would you let me know which you would go for if you owned my car? Maybe shoot me a link? The closest I ever get to upgrading is watching you upgrading! Either way, Great videos and NSX, thanks!

[@Fast_Forward_Racing]

You still have the smaller one?

[@nk4e]

How is the audio?

[@ClydenAM]

If i dont have any after market subs and just oem stereo, will i encounter a problem where i must tap the wires? I'm very bad with wiring and hope everything here is just plug and play other than adding the aditional back up camera harness and 12 volt to 6 volt thing. I assume for the two add ons, it's also plug and play? Mayne just need to crimp some wires and pins for the 12 to 6 volt?

[@ivoe6860]

Brown wire is on the 10 pin connector. If you go to pick a part and get a male 6 pin and a female 6 pin Unplug the pin from the male connector plug it into your 6 pin (top left corner) connect the females (preferred method is using the blue split wire in the after market kits for a secured connection and also a split for 12v) Now repeat the top corner and plug into the "options connector" located in the back corner. Splitting for back after market Amp Use the 2 females and one male 6 pin connector Male connects to stock Amp Female connects to stock wiring harness Last female splits off to amplifier (you'll need a male to connect here then split those wire off to aftermarket Amp. (My turn on wire is messy but should theoretical work off stock harness) Working on the camera now since my car didn't have one stock. So far I have gotten very little info into all of this. Toyta harness are normally the same so it's easy and cheap to run to pick a part look in a few wrecked cars for the connectors and cut them out. So far I have had to run 3 wires through the car camera, live wire for aftermarket Amp and my turn on wire. Ground is on a bolt off the back and Honestly wish the car had everything working off less connector but yup

[@Roqiio]

Is this for the 2 bottom speakers

[@calumqui]
