1st Post. (Cross Post from Audi B7). Hello All. I searched a bit, and didn't find a specific answer. Maybe you guys could help.

I just got this head unit as a gift from my Fiancee for the holidays (I know shes amazing) and I am trying to figure out exactly which items I need to install it? Preferably at the best price available.

A few things that I am hoping to accomplish:

1) I want to connect my existing steering controls to the head unit. I found 3 items that claim they do this. I am not sure which one is best, can I go with the cheapest and still get the same effect? Will these allow me to press the button for Bluetooth as well? 2) I want to be able to use my iPhone 5, as well as charge it. Is the Pioneer CD-IU50V a must? Can I just hook up a regular iPhone USB cable into the USB slot to accomplish this? I saw that you can wirelessly send info from the phone to the head unit. If this is the case I will just get a standard charger and be done with it. Unless one method is better than another I suppose.

3) Traffic would be nice but not a must. I heard that the Aha Radio iPhone app helps integrate updated traffic, but I also read that I need an adapter. Anyone know for sure?

I will be getting the Connects2 CT23AU01A Dash kit, which based on the videos I saw looks the cleanest installed, unless someone can recommend a better one.

I was told by the Sonic Electronix website that I also need an Antenna adapter - Scosche VWA-4B and a standard harness - Scosche VW03B / VW03

Am I missing anything? I would like to order everything by the end of the weekend. I'd hate to wait an additional week after I take everything apart and realize I am missing something.

 

Sorry I dont have all your answers ..but the enfig stuff is the real deal. And the Pioneer-CD-IU50V is only needed if you want to see video feeds from the iPhone. I'm working on the same project!!!

 

I wound up ordering

1. Scosche VWA-4B: 1 @ $14.99

2. Connects2 CT23AU01A: 1 @ $89.99

3. PAC C2R-AUDI: 1 @ $79.99

4. This back up camera @ $24.99

According to Sonic Electronix it was all I needed. I also found some help in this thread on AudiZine.

I have not started the install yet, and im hoping the instructions above walk me through the camera mount without too much problem. I'm also a little nervous about trying to run the mic through the sunroof, anyone have any other great resources?

 

wait...... did you say iPhone 5?

 

I mean iPhone 4s. Is that going to give me a hassle?

 

Nice I like the camera. no as long as you keep The iPhone firmware up to date it will be fine. Post pics of your install when your done curious to see how it turns out!!!!

 

Also I would run the mic into that sunroof cluster shouldn't be too hard just make sure you have the right tools IE panel tools there cheap on amazon!
