Head Unit Wiring Harness
I have a 2003 A4 1.8t Quattro with the Bose premium sound pkg. I have installed a sub and amp in the car, but I cannot find a wiring harness to swap out the stock cd changer. I have a Single DIN pioneer CD player and dash kit waiting at the house. I have purchased 2 different harnesses and neither of them have been close to right. I purchased the Metra 70-1787 from sonicelectronix.com first. After that wouldn't work, they sent me the other one that 'fit' my car and it also didnt work. I have not been able to find anything on the forums or through searching on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I have also ordered this one from crutchfield, http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1207017...s.html?tp=2977 and it also didn't fit. Any other ideas?

I took it to a local audio shop and they directed me to the Crutchfield harness. I told them that didnt work and they basically said that was their only option. I am not sure where to go next. The existing wiring in the car appears to be stock, but the harnesses that I order are not even close to working. The search will go on and I will update this after I find my next step.

i had the same issue with my b7 with bose symphony. ordered up a different harness that plugs strait in, but now the rear speakers and sub dont work. its a journey to install a damn aftermarket head unit yourself without paying an arm and a leg to get it installed lol. this is the only car to give me trouble...

Yeah. I've been through like 3 different harnesses now and a couple places telling me "We have no other suggestions." Its just getting to be a real nightmare. I have my sub ran through the factory sub right now and when it hits it makes my CD player skip. So I have to run the iPod through the tape deck if I want to have the stereo turned up at all. Itd be nice to get a CD player in that can absorb the vibrations. I'll keep this post updated with my findings. Hopefully I can find one soon!!!
