Thank you, this helped me troubleshoot a problem on a similar amazon 9 in android radio where the only speaker/tweaker that was working was the central one next to the windshield , once I wired the Amp and Amp-Con wires and I enabled the amplifier option on the infotainment all speakers are working. Although I'm still waiting for the high to low impedance harness adapter to arrive from Aliexpress to have full volume / amplifier capacity.
Thanks alot. The little plug with red and orange wires was always disconnected when i had my android radio connected straight to the car. Now i have a T harness to connect an external amplifier and the radio wouldnt startup with the new T harness in between.
If your audi a3 has got rear amplified speakers then just get the 49 AUD 02 harness and this will work 100% If you've got fully amplified speakers then get the 49 AUD 02 BOSE ALL THE BEST
Hi there. I have a question for you? This is for a 2014 Audi Q5 actually. Does your unit have an AUX app installed in it and does it allow you to access OEM display information through it? Mine is a CC3 2K unit and it has an AUX app in it. The problem is that when I open the app it shows 'NO VIDEO SIGNAL'. I guess the app is to show OEM Display information like Settings, Oil level etc. Thank you.
Oee my unit does not have an Aux app that I know of. I also dont know if that is the app that will give you original vehicle information. Did you connect all the wires? Is there maybe one unplugged?
Thanks for this. I posted on xda forum thread you linked but have not had any response. I bought the 2k version for my a3 (with bose) but I have the following issues: 1. Hiss noise with high/low pass converter fitted 2. All speakers work but sub will not power on 3. Steering wheel controls do not work. Please could you advise how I could resolve these issues? Many Thanks
Hi! Sorry I have not vivisted that forum in a bit and for some reason did not get notitifications. The hissing, try turning the screws on the impedance harness. thing is though I am not sure you need that harness with Bose. I sadly dont have it so dont know but others say it might not even be needed. Sub might need to be turned on in the audi menu settings in the unit. Check if the amp is turned on there. Sadly for steering wheel controls I dont know as I dont have them but did you enable the CANBUS properly and learn them in the system? You need to teach the unit what it should do with the button presses.
@@snipermakedonski btw i dont seem to have the amp wire? I only have the amp control wire, but theres is a blue wire that is capped off but the lable says auto ant?
@@sevkoiseric Hmm I have heard this before. Just see if there is a similar wire that runs to the right pin on the main loom. if not ask teyes support via an email as it seems they changed something. Auto ant is what you need to hook up to your radio antenna. What I describe in the video as double plug you need to check.
Hello brother i cant find the amp cable thats running from the harness, I know my harness should have the cable but it doesn't, the amp control cable is as you mentioned, but de amp cable from the harness isnt ,hope you could help me telling me in which pin does the amp cable is
Hmm I have heard this before. Can you check the main wiring harness and see if there is a cable that is the same color as the amp cable? Or in the wiring diagram they give you what pin should have the amo cable go to it and trace it back?
Hi. I bought the lux one for audi a4, and after i connect the quad lock, the buttons near the shifter will not work anymore. The order was right for my model, but i dont know if i received the correct cables. The air conditioning cables dont fit also. Any sugestions ? I see you have a canbus box on cc3, none of this on the one lux model
@@snipermakedonski i did a reasearch, and i found that the shop wich i paid to mount my navigation, had no clue what the cables were for. There is a bypass on the canbus also, but they told me that cable dont fit in the airconditioning module, and i got the wrong cable 😃
Yes you connect that to a ANT control cable or the power cable (ACC). Not sure which one I connected that one to but you have to otherwise the antenna does not get power.
Hmm, did you turn the little knobs on the impedance harness? The transparten ones in the middle harness? Try turning on music and turning those actively. Also see if your amplifier is on in the settings
In audi with bose system the sound only work when you put the two blue cables together. And now I have one problem with static noise and I dont know how to remove
Hello, today I installed multimedia in my Audi A3, however, the rear speakers are almost inaudible, as well as the woofer. Does that part for the amplifier already exist in the cables or does it have to be bought additionally? Of course, I made an appointment to have the connection checked again, because today I didn't manage to return the car to the service because I found out about the problem too late.
Hey i got same problem on 2002 a6, front speakers working but rear speakers with sub doesnt, do i nees that extra hi low impedance converter, or i just need connect wires how you did.
Hi bro, i bought the harness and installed it back speakers do work but still my multimedia doesnt recognize the amp and the sound is not even close to the factory one. Any tips and tricks?
How do you mean does not recognize? Did you turn on the amp in the sound settings in the software? Otherwise turn on loud mode in the equalizer and or power sound in the normal sound settings. Let me know if it works!
In settings i have setting for music when i enter those settings in the top left corner it says unknown amplifier and when i try to change bass, fader etc nothing happens. Yes i have turned on amp in settings. I have tried loudness on off but no luck.
Hey there, nice video. I bought an Ali express head unit (GATAXASKY) and it has a pink wire that says external amp control that is capped off. I’m pretty sure it does the same thing as the one you have. My question is I have one blue wire that goes from my Xtrons adapter into another harness for the radio. The radio calls the blue wire the Auto antenna wire, do you know if this is the one I should connect the pink wire to, and if if so do I tap into the wire, or cut it and just have it go to the pink one?
Hi, no the auto antenna wire is a different one. that should connect to your radio antenna cable (also blue one). You need to find a different wire and I would sai if you need to connect one. Cut into the sheathing, squish the cable together a bit so the internal wire come apart a bit and thread the new wire through those gaps. Then twist. Plus electrical tape or even better, solder. Should work best.
This is very informative! Did you have any issues with the OEM panel (front fascia mount)? They sent me on labeled 2002-2008, I have a 2011 and it doesn't seem to fit. I'm afraid that if it ever did go in, it would never come out without breaking it.
Glad to hear! yes I also had that issue. let me link you to my forum post on XDA. The frame is VERY VERY tight. actuall the tabs are molded to wide so you need to push the tabs in. Big tip do NOT screw the unit into the frame. Otherwise getting it out probably will be impossible. forum.xda-developers.com/t/teyes-cc3.4189041/page-142#post-88059829
I have the bose system and made all the connections you made. I still don't have sound out any speaker. I don't have the low to high amp boxes you have though. That comes as an extra special harness from Teyes. Do I need that? Its an added cost of 40 USD.
Yes and then it does not work. Only front speakers work. I installed it without first and then worked with TEYES to solve the issue which resulted in the harness being added.
Hello, please help! I've been having so many issues ever since I installed my Cc3 into my 16 Hyundai Veloster Turbo that if I told you, you would be like OMG! 😮 But I came out of it. And I did what you said about blue wires for the amp, and now I get no sound coming from my speakers. I'm not sure what to do know. Before, I did get some sound from the front, but now nothing after splicing the blue wires. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you
Hi! I understand the frustration. I had the same. So in the settings menu for audio, did you turn on the amp with the toggle? Also have you tried raising the power level in the settings?
@@snipermakedonski Hello, sorry for my delay in responding. Omg it seems like I fix one problem and the next day a new one will pop-up! So, I fixed the no sound problem. But now I'm not sure if the factory Amp is working because. When I switch off the amp in the teyes equalizer app I hear no difference in sound volume. Also do I need to connect the Key1 and key2 wires? And I get no (vehicle information) in the vehicle information app. I can't go to Teyes support because I didn't purchase my head unit directly from them. Thanks for your quick response and I would appreciate any suggestions you can provide. Thanks
@@lou.242 Ahh ok. If you have a car with multifucntion buttons on the steeringwheel (basically any buttons at all), then you need to connect the key 1 or 2 (depending on the wires coming from your car wiring loom included in the box) wires. If you dont get any vehicle information in the app, you need to probably set the right canbus settings. Look in the teyes app for instructions or online. I know for my car I got a (I think) brown canbus box which was binary and then in the settings I selected that, box, then audi a3 etc. and that should help. Otherwise you probably need the OBD dongle. Hope it works!
It might be that the reverse is automatically triggered by the CANBUS itsself. If you hook it up and shift into reverse does it turn on? And if not you need to wire the trigger wire to the reverse light IIRC.
Shot in the dark but im unistalling an old aftermarket headunit that the previus owner put in. I got the original back in thinking it would fix the lack of rear speakers and sub but it didnt. Any idea what I should to trouble shoot? Any advice would be huge
Pfoee so with the originals there is no back speaker sound? Maybe a wire break or was cut when the aftermarket ones were fitted? Otherwise see if you can manually power the amp with external power is the only thing I can think of!
Oeee, I would honestly not be sure. If there are no wires at all I think you should be fine then. Try and install it and use the fader in the audio settings to move the sound around. If certain speakers dont work (due to missing wires for example) you should really notice it there.
I finally got rid of my garbage Soarcomer head unit (that was not compatible with wired Apple CarPlay and could never reconnect wirelessly without a complete power cycle / cold start) and bought a T'EYES CC3 2K instead. It seems much more well made. So I have a look at your video again before installing it. You say at 2:05 to disconnect the red ACC wire from the ISO connector (that goes nowhere indeed as the ISO connector is not used) and connect it instead to the red ACC wire coming from the main 16-pin power connector of the head unit (the 'G' block). That makes sense. However, where does the ACC current flow from? There is absolutely no other remote ACC wire available on the harness to connect to the remote ACC wire that runs in the dash from the fuse box, and there is no ACC power cable in the Audi Quadlock used, only the BAT (constant voltage) one there. In this configuration, I don't even understand how your head unit can boot! EDIT: Wow, I connected as you said and… it works! 😶 And I really don't know why, as the independent ACC wire coming from the fuse box is not used. Maybe the unit actually boots with a digital signal from the CANbus, then provides +12VDC on its ACC wire from BAT? Anyway, the unit is gorgeous, much snappier and responsive than the crappy previous one :)
Good to hear! The ACC IIRC comes from another main wire in the original quadlock. Its illogical but that is why it took me 3 days to figure it out and I thought the unit was broken!
@@snipermakedonski Good to know! For the previous Android HU I briefly had, it didn't work before I run a dedicated ACC wire myself from the fuse box. I was really surprised when the CC3 powered on without actually connecting that additional wire! Thank you for your video, it helped me a lot 👍
Hello brother, my back speakers and the subwoofer don’t work, to make them work I have to buy the 1v to 4v adapter no? Which are the conexions that I have to make
Yes you need to buy the harness to make them work. its the exact same issue I had. its this one: teyes.eu/products/special-power-adapter-cable-with-audio-amplifier-cable-for-audi-a3-a4-tt
Legit thinking its the same issue I had. Try moving the red and orange 2 pin to another one. Check its actually correct. Iw ould guess 995 its the unit not getting power via de ACC cable and that is then because of the red and orange one.
@@snipermakedonski I actually figured it out was a blown fuse. But now I only have the front speakers working lol. I looked all over doing research the stereo I got doesn't have the amp wire only the amp control one I have searched everywhere.
Once the head unit is installed, how do you remove it? It clips in with four plastic clips. Do you just pry it out? I need to order the antenna adapter.
Its very hard, you need to use plastic pry tools, however. I reccommend just not screwing the unit to the frame. Then you can just put a nail around the side of the glass and pull up. Or with a suction cup.
To my understanding, I don't know how yours is wired but, do you need to lower the impedance coming from the radio to the amp? I just bought a hilow adapter.
Basically yes, but you do that by just wiring up the harness and making sure the adjustment screws in the transparent casings of the harness are set correctly. Correct here means you turn on the unit and play sound and adjust the screws so you hear everything well. Do this on both transparent cases.
Hi there, I am looking for some advise really. I have purchased an xtrons IA series unit for my 2006 Audi A4 with quad lock. They sent the unit with a BOSE adaptor, which I used as I have Bose system. I got allot of static problems when the lights were on and rustling noise constantly. I contacted Xtrons and they sent me a high to Low impedance adapters free of charge. When I tried to use it one of the rear female phono ports was faulty and only a faint sound coming out when I turned the volume right up. I then purchased a 2nd hand adaptor and that worked fine for about two weeks but has since stopped working with the exact same problem. Can you advise what might be causing the issue? Thank you in advance for your help.
Hmm not 100% sure. Might be fluctuating voltage. You might need a filter. Here is a link on the Teyes website but you can find them more online: teyes.eu/products/teyes-power-filter Also dont turn it up all the way, keep it in the middle, too much is bad. Try the sound settings and see if there is a power mode in the settings to boost the loudness. Teyes has that in the software. Let me know if it works!
@@snipermakedonski yeah I basically need that but for quadlock. I am using the xtrons one but it’s cheap looking and convinced they are faulty. Can send pics if you want.
@@jasonpoulton865 I would order the one from Teyes then as they also suggest that one I linked for quadlock. I would send their customer service a message with the question on how to install it just in case. They helped me a lot.
Hey, I have two amp ctrl wires, one that comes from quadlock is blue and white, it has cap on but it says it is amp control, and the other blue wire from headunit, it also says amp control. Is it okay to connect them?
@@snipermakedonski I have connected them but it doesn't work. Is it possible that i need to buy high to low impedance adapter. I am not sure I have bose or non bose tho
@@adnamrso1008 Most likely you will need it then yes. If you have bose it should say somewhere in the car like on the radio, speakers or you can search through the VIN number
@@snipermakedonski Do you know how to connect high to love impedance converter to the harness I already have because ones that already have built in hi/lo imp. coverter are pricey
@@adnamrso1008 It should be connecting the same colored cables to eachother. Look in the video for the example. Its quadlock to recieving quadlock conector, then color coded cables output to input. If it is the same harness. Otherwise if it is different sadly I cannot help as I dont know what is it.
Hey! Ik heb recentelijk de BSN 5.0 autoradio van mijn Audi A3 8P vervangen voor een aftermarket radio met CarPlay etc. Met een extra verloopstekker werken nu alle speakers. Ik heb geen bose maar het Audi audiosysteem bestaande uit 5 speakers voor 2 achter en subwoofer links achterin kofferbakschot. Nu heb ik sterk het idee dat ik er qua geluid/bass op achteruit ben gegaan. Vooral op laag volume mis ik echt bass. Zou het kunnen dat ik ook de adapter nodig heb die je op 1:03 laat zien? Of zou het een andere oorzaak kunnen hebben dat ik nu minder goed geluid/bass heb? Ter info: nieuwe radio output is 4x 80W. Ik hoor graag!
Hoi Stefan, ja het zou echt kunnen dat je die adapter nodig hebt want als je een non bose systeem hebt is de kans echt heel klein dat dat systeem de subwoofers in de 8P aan kan zetten. Dan mis je dus letterlijk al je bas. Voordat ik het harnas kocht en installeerde had ik dat. het enige waarop het kan lijken is dat je voor speakers de bas een beetje door laten komen maar meer niet. Ik zou echt het harnas kopen en proberen. ook een grote tip, pas je equalizer aan. De CC3 met standaard settings was echt slecht maar na het aanpassen van de curve is het echt veel beter dan standaard. Laat even weten of het lukt!
I bought an android stereo it came with the impedance adapter, without it only the front speakers sound. my question is: where the 4 impedance adapter wires are connected?
Mate will this wiring work on audi tt mrk 2 I've had a nightmare of time. Your video is very helpfull cheers mate keep up the good work I've not got amp wire connect and the sound is very muffled hope joining the amp wire will sort it out
Glad to hear the video helped! What modelyear is your TT? And do you have the same connectors? If so then it should. Also, if the amp is working but muffled it might be the 2 screws in the impedance harness, try turning those. You are non bose right?
@snipermakedonski hi mate it 2013 plate mrk 2 audi tt I have only the 1 amp wire not the 2 as you have should the amp wire be connected to 12 volt am just waiting on the lead to arrive thanks non bose
@@MrJoelcc9 Interesting. Strange that there is only 1 wire. And there is no second blue and white or blue cable with a cap on it? At all? Then it maaybe should be connected to the 12V but be carefull, if the arm is powered all hte time it might drain the battery.
I am confused about the adapter and Bose systems. Some say if you have Bose you need the adapter while others say you dont. Witch one is it?? Many thanks
I personally did not know but see this comments: @HARRYMWAI If your audi a3 has got rear amplified speakers then just get the 49 AUD 02 harness and this will work 100% If you've got fully amplified speakers then get the 49 AUD 02 BOSE
These 2 AUX cables coming from the harness (in L and in R) Do I plug them into the other AUX cables or the RCA? Because I tried both options and I still have no sound.. Thanks 🙌
IIRC it should be the aux cables. aka the reverse (female leads) of the main harness. The RCA cables are for an aftermarket system I believe as they also have a separate bass control. If you dont have sound, check the settings on the screps in the additional harness if they are set wrong they will also give 0 sound.
Hello, I do not believe I have that. But that is because the car is from 2008 so its lacking many newer features. I do think you might need the OBD tool by teyes for that.
Yes but make sure yo have the antenna plugged in and routed to ABOVE your dash. Otherwise it wont work. It needs clear sight through the glass. Which settings do you mean?
@@snipermakedonski hm, sadly mine doesn't catch up nothing, even i routed it outside from dash hmmm.. settings i meant about " can bus settings " it show the lists, i try to choose mine car settings and after little of loading it says failed
@@enjoymeh Hmm for the CANBUS, did you select the correct box? The one you got supplied? IIRC mine was a binary one. For the GPS, try rebooting by dragging down from the top. I had that exact issue and a reboot fixed it. Its different from turning it off.
@@enjoymeh Hmm you should have a CANBUS box, check the manual. It might have already been connected but if not there is your problem. I would also check if that is the right one selected or not.
Its very simple. You match the in and out cables with the tags on them. Cant go wrong. It phisically wont fit into a wrong cable if its the same color. Link to the cable: teyes.eu/products/special-power-adapter-cable-with-audio-amplifier-cable-for-audi-a3-a4-tt
Do you know if I'll be able to retain the factory/oem microphone on my car to use it with the CC3? The stereo I'm replacing is the RNS-e (Audi Navigation Plus) head unit.
Hmmm, I am not sure, but do you know if the RNS-e has a separate cable for the microphone? As for the mic to work with the CC3 you need to insert the mic with 3.5mm jack into the additional harness on the back fo the unit. If you dont have that cable you wont be able to use the original mic.
There should be red and white in and out. Connect the corresponding colors of in and out to eachother. I am not sure on the amp wire TBH. Are you sure there is no second AMP wire? Otherwise ask Teyes Support, they are very helpful.
Hi .very nice and good information. I don't have a Audi but a Citroen C5 x7 . I have the same problem .no sound back and my subwoofer is not working properly. How can come in touch with you ? Regards Tibor

hey very nice video ! I have trouble with my steering wheel buttons... do you have info ? I saw in some forums that i have to connect "key1" wire with ground and "key2" with another wire... please help me :)
Ahh I sadly dont have steering wheel buttons but IIR there should be a set of wires that connects to key 1 and 2 indeed OR it should be CANBUS driven. Did you set up the canbus profile correctly in the settings on the unit? It could be that that is what is missing and then you need to program the buttons. Otherwise you need to look up wiring diagrams for the car and find the 2 cables on the harness that are for the steering wheel buttons and hook those up to key 1 and 2.
try this man, connect wifi, go to settings, factory and then type the password which probably is “8888”, go to “car model” or something like that, press “LZ” then “Audi” then “A3” and finally “04~12”, confirm. The steering wheel controls should work after it. peace!
@@snipermakedonski yea I have the harness I don’t know where to contact the harness I know that I can connect red and white amp to it but I don’t know where to connect the other side of it
@@02any1 That is why the rear sperakers are not working. Connect one end to the main harness coming from the car and the other end into the main harness of the headunit. Look in the video to see. Also look on the Teyes sale website for the unit. It has a wiring harness.

Any idea if this is needed for the TT mk2? It's a 9 channel system with a 5 channel amp with 4 line inputs (non Bose). Will the teyes RCA pre outs be okay or do I have to get this adapter to give me a higher voltage signal?
I believe that you will need the harness. If I look at the list of half amplified Audi`s, the TT between 2006 to 2014 with quadlock connector is on it. I would say try with and if anything you can easily return the harness.
@@snipermakedonski I believe the TT is fully amplified. But it is non Bose. I'm not sure if the cc3 can provide the correct impedance and voltage from the preouts without the adapter. But yes thankfully it is on Amazon UK, so I can get it and see if I need it.
Hello friend, greetings from Spain, I have a problem with my radio, I have a problem that the touch does not work just like that, let me explain, you touch the screen and it does not respond if I turn off the car and start it, that's how it works but it does it every time but it's very strange, as I explained, the radio works but you touch the screen and you can't do anything or put voice on, remove or anything, it's very strange, does that happen to you too? Thank you and greetings from Spain
my friend got the same one, I installed it but the rear speakers don't play. and what worries me the most is that I don't know how to unclip it. Can someone help?
Unclip the frame? Its really tight. You need trik removal tools. Rear speakers is you are missing the middle harness. The low to high impedance. Teyes sells one

Hello friend, sorry because I don't know English and it doesn't translate what I want, I ask you how to remove the radio because I have the same Audi A3 car and the same new radio to install and I understand that if the plastic casing is mounted and you screw it to the plastic and you mount it definitively to the car it does not come out anymore since there is no way to remove the casing it does not have any slot, that is what I ask you how do you remove it friend
Ahhh I understand now. No problem! So yes if you screw it into the plastic frame and then put it in (after connecting the cables), it will click in (it will be VERY difficult to get in) and getting it out will be alsmost not possible. That is why I advise not screwing it onto there. removing it, screwed in or not requires plastic trim removal tools like this: www.amazon.nl/Tresalto-verwijderen-deurpanelen-bevestigingsmiddelen-dashboards/dp/B01L8GHB7O You get it behind one of the edges of the plastic and gently try to get it out.

Which cables do you mean? The red and white ones? Match the colors and lables, so Left in goes into left out and its male to female connectors so you just make sure its all 1 long harness no loops.
