So my car has been of the road now for so long! Nearly a year. All because the transfer box has broke (literally got a hole in it, can’t be fixed) now from what I’ve learnt, they don’t make the transfer box anymore (discontinued). Now this is the second time this has happened, and I’m not sure why! So the first time it happened, I got sent a part, by a Audi specific breakers, they confirmed it was the right one... now I’m thinking, maybe it wasn’t!? And I’ve tried and tried to find out the correct part number for the transfer box that should be in my car, but no luck. Does anyone know? It’s a Audi A3 3.2 v6 8p 2004, 

 

someone must use be able to help! Thank you 

Why u not going logically on it? If something brakes you read part number of the BROKEN item you take picture of it and show it to audi or sellers.. Simple..

Hello Dil,

Not sure if you mean you are going to look into Peter's recommendation, or the new MoT requirements. 

Would seriously suggest the latter- no disrespect to Peter who admits he only just got away with it last year.

Kibd regards,

Gareth.

 

 

Not last year.. This year..

Pedro that look superb. How did you get the usb socket into the dashboard blank??

Ive gone the whole hog and booked in for Apple Car play for my iPhone 6. 

A

It was  bit  messy job .. pioneer supply 2 cables usb because radio has two usbs  one for android one for iphone .. I have android so I connected only android usb as there was no space left for second usb

I removed that plastic cover and drilled  and drilled holes then had to file it to usb rectangle shape ..  and glued it to stop moving .. had to make bigger hole in that socket to feed cable through. Mic was easy because thin cable and is circle so I drilled hole only with drill ..

The remarks by CliffCoggin were hilarious. How clever and what a Kentish wit. Despite them Ive joined the forum today and look forward to a positive and useful interaction with other A3 owners. Adrian.

Hey guys any advice ? I want proper car radio in mine audi a3 .. thnx

Hello guys I just encountered  quite bad radio signal constantly  (in UK)  ..  When I have capital (or any other) it plays bad and when I tune with right turner out of capital radio frequency and I go back it will start plays properly suddenly and louder .. So weird  And pretty often it looses stereo and just plays mono 

Anybody knows where problem can be ? 

Thnx

steve

I have seen these fitted to a3s. Normally people fit them near to the blanking plates on the centre console on the dash. Normally above the radio if that makes sense. 

Im unsure if you have to update the software but I believe you plug it in the back of the radio. 

Cheers

Hi exactly I was thinking I will use one of those empty sapces  .. :)  Oh one more thing .. how do I know if I have 8P model audi ? is mine 8p ?

I have purchased this aux with cable on eBay..  I might get it connected.. But there is no option to enable aux in the radio? How I will connect it to PC? Is there any sortware? Connect it to usb?  One more thing ; I purchased keys for removing radio from dash board..

If gadget connections are so important to you, why buy a car without checking such things first?

It isn't priority of course but I just enjoying car and now I decided to connect freakin phone bcos radio music is sht .. I don't listen commercial music  but specific .. And was looking for aux and nowhere to be found .. so .. many ppl on youtube has same issue ..   So what are solutions..?

Everybody says audi is one of the top class and looks like it has no normal standard interfaces /peripherals ?

The seat from 2008 has it .. ridiculous audi shame on you 

Any ideas how to fit aux ? I need to connect HP jack to my android phone ..!
