Hey, im new to the boards, and tried searching for this, with no luck. Hopefully this weekend ill be gettin my 96 audi a4, which i traded for my bike(get more use out of the quattro then i would my bike so i figured might as well.) Anyways, the car doesnt have a cd player in it, and i happen to have one that I would like to install. I checked crutchfield.com to see what i would need, and it says something about needing an adapter to eliminate some crap. (this thing) Anyways, basically what i need to know, what do i need to install a alpine CDA-7873 into a 96 a4 without bose system option. Whats needed and where can i get it cheap. Id rather do the install myself then take it to a shop.

Thanks
Mike

 

You'll need this to remove the radio...



You'll need an adapter because audi radios are a little bit wider than DIN sized. Scoshe makes an adapter for our cars.

You'll also need a wiring harness, unless you feel like cutting off the Audi plugs.

 

I'm looking to do the same thing. So I need
adapter plateremoval tool
and the adapter harness. I can't find a link to one though.

 

I need another radio for my A4 , mine TP function doesnt want to shut off so
lots of problems i have a 95 A4 2.8

know where i can get one ?
