I'm guessing that your A6 is not equipped with Bose, and that the Concert came from a vehicle which was so equipped? The Bose system uses a remote amplifier for all speakers. The standard install only uses a remote amplifier for the rear speakers. The Concert H/U should be compatible, but you will need to alter the settings (might possibly require VAG-COM) to turn the Bose setting off. -- Peter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') Peter Bell View Public Profile Find all posts by Peter Bell Add Peter Bell to Your Buddy List   #3   09-24-2006, 06:41 AM sjfedex Junior Member   Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 13 concert radio front speakers on A6 avant thx peter,will coonect up to VAG-COM to look at the settings....sjfedex sjfedex View Public Profile Find all posts by sjfedex Add sjfedex to Your Buddy List   #4   09-25-2006, 02:28 AM Peter Bell Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 316 concert radio front speakers on A6 avant In message <93bf721fa8f1dad38c3eb8a91792a134@localhost.talkabo utautos.com> "sjfedex" <steve.r@raynerd8.freeserve.co.uk> wrote: Quote: thx peter,will coonect up to VAG-COM to look at the settings....sjfedex Okay, assuming it's the original Concert 2 (up to about summer 2001), you need to change the coding as follows: You should find that the coding is currently set to something like: 00017 (assuming CD changer and DIS - these will affect the last digit) For a non-Bose install, the coding should be changed to something like: 00207. In other words, the third digit should change from 0 -> 2 the fourth digit should change from 1 -> 0 HTH. -- Peter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') Peter Bell View Public Profile Find all posts by Peter Bell Add Peter Bell to Your Buddy List   #5   10-09-2006, 10:18 AM sjfedex Junior Member   Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 13 concert radio front speakers on A6 avant Peter, If you still pick up this post..Checked VAG_COM,the code shows 000201,but when i ran fault find,it showed a fault with front speakers,so i cleared it.(This is with my original H/U,should i retry the Bose H/U,without changing the 00201 code? rgds SJFEDEX sjfedex View Public Profile Find all posts by sjfedex Add sjfedex to Your Buddy List   #6   10-09-2006, 03:04 PM Peter Bell Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 316 concert radio front speakers on A6 avant In message <47eefaa1c535730022c9ca3be6a2f658@localhost.talkabo utautos.com> "sjfedex" <steve.r@raynerd8.freeserve.co.uk> wrote: Quote: Peter, If you still pick up this post..Checked VAG_COM,the code shows 000201,but when i ran fault find,it showed a fault with front speakers,so i cleared it.(This is with my original H/U,should i retry the Bose H/U,without changing the 00201 code? Err... that code is stored in the H/U itself. The new unit needs to be coded up the same as the old one. It is that code which makes it a 'Bose' or 'non-Bose' unit. What code do you get with the new H/U installed? If the speaker fault went away after you cleared the fault code, I'd guess that it was reporting it as an intermittent fault - probably because the H/U had been powered up with the speakers not attached. Again, this fault code is stored within the H/U. -- Peter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') Peter Bell View Public Profile Find all posts by Peter Bell Add Peter Bell to Your Buddy List « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Search this Thread Show Printable Version Email this Page Search this Thread: Advanced Search Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts vB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Jump Please select one User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home -------------------- Cars Lounge     General     Acura     Alfa Romeo     Audi     BMW     Dodge     Ferrari     Fiat     Ford         Ford Explorer         Ford Falcon         Ford Festiva         Ford Flathead         Ford Focus         Ford Mustang     GM         GM Cadillac         GM Cadillac Deville         GM Camaro         GM Camaro Firebird         GM Chevy Malibu         GM Corvette         GM Fiero         GM Oldsmobile         GM Pontiac     Honda     Hyundai     Infiniti     Isuzu     Jaguar     Kia     Lexus     Mercedes Benz     Mini     Mitsubishi     Nissan     Peugeot     Porsche         Porsche 911         Porsche 928         Porsche 944     Rolls Royce     Saab     Subaru     Toyota         Toyota Camry         Toyota MR2         Toyota Prius     Volkswagen         Volkswagen Beetle     Volvo All times are GMT -8.
