Great video! I have a 2007 A3, Im assuming I need the AUX version and the harness. Any chance you have part numbers I can look up? Im in Canada BTW.

Great video! Thanks you. Quick question: during phone calls, is all good? Does the sound come from the car speakers and it uses phones mic? Keep up the great work

@MotoringCultureMagazine Жыл бұрын

Yes it plays any sound from the phone on the speakers.

Hello! Thank you for the help, but in my car this doesn't work. I have change the code in vcds but with code 3 or 2 i can not change between the cd and the cd changer. Any idea why?

@denniskrauss872 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. What happens after connection with BT if I want to use the included CD changer? Do I have to disconnect the BT at first? Both devices are used via the same CD button. Thanks for your comment.

@MotoringCultureMagazine Жыл бұрын

The button toggles between CD (internal cd changer) and CDC (external which is your BT module). The BT module is always on, regardless of what you do on the radio.

Yes, if the radio doesn't recognize your adapter. In some cases it does.

Thanks for the great video. How can I tell the difference between the cd changer version and the Aux version? They look very similar to me. I have an Audi A3 2006 and I'm worried about getting the wrong one .

@MotoringCultureMagazine 2 жыл бұрын

You can tell by the number of wires pinned into the socket. 7 for CDC and only 4 for the aux version, although in most cases it's impossible to tell from the pictures.

Hello. I Have 2002 Audi a4 b6 with audi symphony 2din radio. I connected everything the right way, it connects to my phone but does not play in the car. In the video I see that it says CDC in your radio, on mine it only says CD 1 or CD 2 and etc. Is there a fix?

How many wires are pinned in on your adapter? It must have seven for CDC to work. Read all the other comments!

@@MotoringCultureMagazine So should I buy the CDC version? My car didn't come with a CD changer so I think I'll need to code the radio with VCDS. I'm having trouble finding a CDC version of the modulator in Aliexpress. As far as I know, the CDC versions have 8 pins in them while the AUX one has only 4. Every single modulator in Aliexpress has 4 pins. Are there any specific keywords I should be searching to find a CDC version?
