Hey guys..um I'm helping a friend install an OEM iPod integration into her A3. It has the Concert head unit btw. Anyways, so the instructions suck (it basically just references the service manual the whole time - which of course she doesn't have). Anyways we got it all wired in, except that I removed too many wires from the harness (back speaker wires, etc). iPod integration works flawlessly, but not all the speakers get power. Oops.

Yeah so I have to put those wires back in, but of course I have no reference of what pins these wires came from. So I need a wiring diagram.

Any ideas? I did some quick googling and forum browsing and came up with nuttin'. I feel so stupid.

You might get some help posting a question in this forum: http://forums.audiworld.com/a3/

The APR guys might have a diagram for an A3 that they will let you look at for 30 seconds or so. :D

yeah, we got those keys, so I took out the radio and proceeded to figure out where to wire the thing according to the world's worst instructions, but they weren't really clear at all and I ended up making a dumb assumption that that harness was exclusively going out to the CD Changer without thinking about it, so I took out alot of wires that run around to the OTHER speakers. Yeah.

Anyways okay thanks for the help so far guys - maybe that PDF does have all the info. if it does, then I HAVE NO IDEA how to read a wiring diagram lol. I coulnd't find what I was looking for...maybe I just need to be taught? I need to know which wires go into which pin location for all of the wires going into the top-most harness on the back of the audi a3 concert head unit (06 if it matters).

here are several pics of the harness from the internet (CD changer installed). I could use the pics to get most of the wires if I tried, but it's not clear enough to identify all the pin locations.

Here is a picture of the wires I was supposed to LEAVE IN, but took out because I'm retarded.

So, my question: Does that PDF contain the information I need from those last two pics? Because that PDF is all greek to me...

Just from those pics I can get 5 pins re-located... and yes... that wiring diagram does have all of the information you need. Is this the black 20-pin connector?

If it is..

Yellow is pin #2.
Green is pin #1.
Grey is pin #3.
White is pin #6.
Orange/purple is pin #7.
Orange/brown is pin #12.
Orange is pin #13.
Grey is pin #14.
Brown is pin #10.
Black is pin #15.
Blue is pin #16.
Green is pin #17.
Brown/black is pin #18.
White is pin #19.
Red is pin #20.

Ok so I double checked and agree with Obike on that^ info. Just to be safe can one more person that knows how to read those check and make sure we all agree?

I can see why you would be having some issues as the colors are in german
