Never seen that before, the 96 and 97 Delta deck typically doesn't work with anything so that's a first.

If they sold that a few years ago when there were a lot more early A4s around, they could have sold a bunch.

If they will take it back if it doesn't work the price is reasonable.

There is nothing I can see in the center console or behind the Delta Unit that would accept that plug. I don't get how it is suppose to work.

That plug is a little strange. I didn't look at it the first time. It only appears to have 2 pins.

You can retro-fit a Concert I very easily and there are several ipod/ MP3 interfaces available for that.

I installed a Symphony II in my gf's A4 1.8T and used the Gateway 100...but it doesn't seem to be working right now....haven't had time to look into it again. I think the Gateway 100 was a little messed up....

Retro-fit / upgrade to later spec.

Wiring for Concert I is the same as Delta with the exception of one wire.

You need to remove and replace connection Plug III pin 3 (normally 12 volt on the Delta) with a K-line. Splice into the K-line on the climate control below.It's a Green/Violet wire

Once you have done that use Vag.com to setup the Concert for your car.

1 hours work maybe.
