Does anyone know if the 2008 B7 (US) A4's with Symphony radio are the same as the 2007 B7s with regards to the wiring? I'm trying to do an AVIC-D3 install and no one can tell me how to do it in an '08 A4. (that's not the '08 B8 body style).

 

Guys....go to AVIC411.com

A number of us have installed the AVIC-D3 in our Audis and we talk about the issues in THAT site.

I have the AVIC-D3 installed in my 2008 Audi A4...works pretty well, including steering wheel controls. Here's what I needed for my install:

Pioneer AVIC-D3
Metra MET40EU55 antenna adapter (needs splitter on antenna end for AM & FM at same time)
Metra 99-9102 faceplate kit

Steering Wheel Control + Nav Pulse equipment OPTION #1:
Soundgate CANPULSE-4 unit
Soundgate CAN45PIO Steering Wheel Interface Cable (all but AV Source work fine so far)

Steering Wheel + Nav Pulse OPTION #2:
PAC SWI-CAN + SWI-PS (works a little better, according to AVIC411.com postings)

Optional:
Pioneer's CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter
Pioneer's XM satellite radio adapter
Pioneer 's iPod cable for the AVIC
