Seicane - Audi A4 - Android Head Unit Installation

[@krazykeith6001]

And I can now confirm that this has worked perfectly in my 2010 A3 with an xtrons head unit, and my amp, sub and rear speakers are as loud as they were before! Brilliant! Thanks!

[@SamLGND]

Any conversation needed for the a3? Or can i due it straight out of the box

[@scab555]

Just confirming, that this is video is still relevant:) Helped me to wire up my Android unit. It is not Seicane but has all the same appearance and wires, thank you!

[@krazykeith6001]

This is EXACTLY the information I have been looking for! Thanks!

Amazing informative video, helped a lot for both problems. Now my xtrons head unit fits great, and my amp, sub and rear speakers are working again! Thank you!

I will try this soon Update: Works perfect, sub works too without the extra cable👌

[@army764]

A great channel. Plus in my opinion this is the best shape Audi they have built so far

[@TorqueSteer]

I think I would agree with that. I'd love a B8 S4 but looks wise, I love the B7 inside and out.

[@flack6686]

Hello and thank you very much. I have watched your video in detail and it helped to get the rear speakers working.

[@stephenlane80]

Excellent video, I was pulling out my hair trying to connect a similar head unit to what I now realise is a rear amplified b7 a4. Line level converter is on it way! I've learned a little but about amplified and pre-amplified signals along the way!

Could you help

[@stephenlane80]

@@lmlebouef sure, what do you need to know?

[@lmlebouef]

My harness looks different like I only have one connector to factory unit. And my rear speakers don’t work just bought line out converter and rear still has no sound.

[@stephenlane80]

@@lmlebouef I would need to see a pic, but generally you would connect the rear audio output from the head unit (seperate to main connection block), to the line level converter, then unpick the rear audio cables from your main harness and connect then to the other side of your line out converter

[@colinford1276]

Hi I have watch this video over 10 times now and just don't understand your taking the wires out of the plug that goes into the the car harness into the converter the rca's from the head unit into the converter how does the sound get into the cars harness sorry totally confused

[@SamLGND]

Same so confusing

[@BollasGeorge]

did you do this mod ? , if yes did have you answered your question cause i have the same question, if you take out the cables for the rear speakers from the plug that you plug in the harness of the car how the rear speakers which are empty on the plug now take signal ??? i am confused, i just ordered the converter . does the converter has outpout cables that you install to the plug to the possition that the previous cables where ?

[@radulescubogdan8549]

@@BollasGeorge i guess you already solved, but here: you remove the 4 wires in the harness(it doesnt matter what harness you have) you connect them with the adaptor, then you insert signal in in to the adapter and thats it

Hi, I have a 2005 Audi A4 2.0T with Bose speakers. What do I need to purchase to hook up an Android head unit?

[@db31415]

Actually, I have A3 but radio looks the same I presume there is not much difference. How will I know does my car has bose, semi or what? Presumably when I connect the radio, which speakers don't work will be the clue? Is there somewhere detailed instructions on how to connect and install this radio because I did not get any with it?

[@jacknife10000]

I have the same question

[@Ojisan642]

Damir Borković it’ll say Bose Symphony somewhere obvious on the faceplate of the factory system, and on the speakers. Mine says it on the cassette deck. If yours doesn’t say it, then I don’t think you have it.

[@chopjockey]

Thanks a lot, I fitted an XTRONS head and bought a converter and now my rear sound works a treat! Cheers. Except for my sub woofer in the back doesn't put out any power. Perhaps something to do with the blue Amp wire not having another blue amp wire to connect to like in your video.

All 4 of my speakers are controlled by amp.. Is there a line convertor for 4 channels? Or do I use 2 of 2 channel convertors?

How do you get the new unit to fit/click in once it’s connected? Mine won’t sit flush and keeps coming loose

[@JEGsGarage]

Do you have any idea what the voltage is for the Headunit pre-amp outputs? I have a feeling they are less than 4.0 volts and will cause poor volume/sound at things like a sub amp or factory speaker amp like you described. I wasnt able to find this information on their site.

[@rynomaree2112]

Can you please post a link for the iso harnesse you used from audi to aftermarket stereo? Thank you in advance.

[@wizardzx2]

for the bose system should everything just connect using rca from the aftermarket unit? Will the level provided by rca be strong enough for the amp?

[@TorqueSteer]

I'd give it a go like that first. You might get away with it. If you find you're having to turn the volume on the head unit up quite high and it starts to distort then I'd give the hi/lo converter a go.

[@ehsanzabihiseasan]

@Torque Steer So would you need line level converter for both the rear and front for the full bose system?

Hi mate, decent little video this. Just a quick question, you said about creating your own S1234. This product isn't available anymore it seems so how did you do that. I looked at your 'diagram' but it doesn't actually make sense. You'd have two blue amp cables and you clearly don't, so how did you do that.

Great informative video. I currently have an Eonon stereo in my 2006 A4 and I also ran into the tight fit, so good to know that it wasn't anything that I did wrong. Knowing that I should trim a small amount off of the top will definitely come in handy with future mods. The question I have today is if there is a substantive difference between the aftermarket Android head units from Eonon, Seicane and XTRONS. I'm finding the Eonon to be subpar with its 2GB memory, 16GB storage and Android 6.0 operating system. Considering replacing it with either Seicane or XTRONS to bump up to 4GB memory and 32GB storage along with Android 8.0. Any benefit to that other than the obvious upgrades? I'm a bit leery about the "line converter" as I don't believe I had to do that with my current installation. Not sure I should be cutting and splicing wires. LOL.

[@TorqueSteer]

The Seicane and Xtrons seem to be the exact same unit (it even says xtrons in the manual). From what I’ve seen, the two places my head unit seems to have an advantage is the instant on and more ram. There is very little loading involved since everything is stored in its memory until you do a full restart. I wouldn’t worry about splicing the wires with the line in converter. Like I said in the video, the rear speaker wires don’t lead anywhere so there’s nothing to lose. You could always join them back together if you wanted to :) I did face a similar problem with the rear speakers with my Pioneer but that head unit allowed me to boost the rear preouts slightly so I didn’t need a line lever converter. I would say it’s a necessity with this head unit though since you lose a lot of bass since the rear subwoofer will be very quiet otherwise.

[@virgo64]

Torque Steer, THANK YOU for the quick and useful response! 😉 One other issue I need to resolve, which I failed to mention is poor radio reception but this also started with the factory RNS-E so it's very likely a faulty or failed antenna component in my 11-year-old A4. 🙄

[@TorqueSteer]

No problem. You are welcome :) Hopefully, it’s just one of the plugs that have a bad connection. Although, just tapping the blue antenna wire together with the appropriate wire on the head unit should at least let you know of the antenna amp is powering up.
