Um, i'm having trouble figuring out exactly what you mean by all that. Do you mean you have an A4 with an aftermarket radio that you want the trip display to display the radio station?

Well, if you mean connecting your factory system back up to make the cluster radio display work that's doable. But if you mean making it work with an aftermarket head unit, I am not aware of a way to do that. Give us an exact description including what deck you have, what year, and what exactly has been done to the system. Welcome to the forums. I hope we can help you out with this.

Im my problem are things:

Buy used A4 1997.12 car without radio.
Found in hole for radio: main power euro jack, speakers euro jack, and other conector which i dont know for what is.
This third conector is in complete with main power cables.
Speakers cable is for 4 speaker and cables are new (think home made).
So i dont want aftermarket radio, i want Audi radio.
Problem is that if third conector isnt for dach conection.....what then.
Have trip computer so have option for displaying radio data on dash.
So if third conector isnt for dash, how to locate main cable from dash ( i think there areATA, ENU ...)

Want back to original audi sound.
And read if i get simphony2 that will have problems becaouse simphony 2 have some CANBUS.....

Thanx for helping.

You will run into some problems installing a Concert II radio into your car. It will shut off every hour on its own, and there will be no backlight for nighttime. You can fix the night backlight problem though.
