So I have a aftermarket radio that I am trying to install into my audi tt that I believe has a bose amplifier. I noticed though that there are no wires on the audi harness for ignition and illumination. When I tried to just start the radio and test I did get any audio coming through the speakers. I have read there are devices that I can use to plug and play the radio but I haven't been able to find any. Does anyone know what I need to make the stock bose amp work with my radio and retain other the ignition and illumination features?

I used this: "CRUX SWRAD-55 Radio Replacement with SWC Retention (Audi Vehicles )". I got it from Amazon. It might have been overkill because the steering wheel doesn't have audio controls but it was plug and play with my Alpine HU. The Bose amp requires the use of the four RCA connectors to get audio. I have since upgraded to a double-DIN HU and amps and don't use the Bose amp anymore but the CRUX SWRAD-55 still is in use.

Thank you so much for the fast response. I will order that now and give it a try/
