I had my A3 for about a month - love it (a present from my wife)! Trying to figure out the Concert II wiring, perhaps someone can help. I have pulled the stereo and am wondering if there is a CD changer cable running to the glove box. If there is, where the hell is it? I pulled out the little tray in the glove box and gropedaround and didn't findanunattached cable. The wiring from the big plug (Can Bus?) off the radio seems to run in direction of the steering wheel and nothing seems to run in direction of the glove box). I would like to buy an AUX adapter (recommendations?) so that I can hook in my Creative Zen Video M. I would like to keep the sat radio option ( I assume that it goes behind the little black cover on the driver's side of the hatch area). Any advice would be most appreciated.
BTW I am also in the process of hard-wiring my radar detector and my Nuvi 360 to the fuse box. Is there any way to access power in the phone cradle in the arm rest (since I have the technology package with blue tooth I don't need to hard contact my phone but I would like to be able to recharge my phone without using a cig. lighter adapter)

Thanks again!

I can help you out with the wiring diagrams. As far as an Aux input adapter, I haven't been able to find one that is plug and play. Email me and I'll send you a PDF.

Welcome!

BTW, if you email the wiring diagrams then I will add it to the Newbie Info thread.

Cheers!

Forget the car, I want your wife! Any wife that gives his man an A3is OK by me! Congrats on the car. Good luck witht he wiring, after I put my fingers in the plug as a kid, I stay away from electricity... Thinking back over it, that may explain a few things about me, but this is about you not me. So enjoy your new baby!

Maybe A3Night can confirm this, but I think the cable was only included in the 2006 models. He used that that cable as an input for his IPod.
