3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Important Compatibility Notes

This is a double DIN size product. Ensure your vehicle's original CD unit is also double DIN. This unit is not compatible if your vehicle has a single DIN size CD unit.

This head unit is compatible with your car's original BOSE system. However, if your Audi has a factory BOSE system, you may experience static noise or excessive loudness due to amplified outputs. An inline hi-lo adapter may be required to resolve this. XTRONS offers a quadlock-quadlock loom with inline hi-lo converters (e.g., ASIN: B083DNCQT1).

If your vehicle has an RNS-D (Radio Navigation System) or BNS 5.x (Basic Navigation System), this unit is not compatible. Please provide a picture of the original wiring for assistance.

3.2 Cables You May Need

Check if your vehicle's radio antenna port matches the picture provided. If not, an adapter cable may be needed for proper installation (e.g., XTRONS ICE/ACS/ISOF. is compatible).
