How to perform the wiring for an aftermarket stereo for an 2004 Audi TT coupe
Hi,
I have been trying to change my stock stereo on 2004 Audi TT for a while and the local shops got no clue how to go about it. I live in Bahrain so not a lot of expertise for these vehicles.
I purchased an Pioneer MVH-S310BT and the harness from Dynamic Sound (Connect 2) - Part Number CT53-AU04.

I myself have not clue on wiring and cant seem to get help locally as well.
Can someone help me on how to do the wiring with pics so that I can do the same?

Do you have the Bose system in your car? If you do, you just use the preamp outputs from you stereo to the inputs of the Bose amp. Just power and antenna after that. I did mine myself and it was very easy to wire. The hardest part was using the little tools to pull the radio out.
I used the parts similar to what is shown in this video, which are different from what you bought. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help
That info was exactly what I was looking for. Managed to get the stereo installed and works like a charm.
On a new development my TT has now sprung an coolant leak from what appears to be from the driver’s side. The car got heated yesterday and had to park it at an alley. When I opened the hood, it was steaming from what appears to be temperature sensor (I think).
Did a bit of reading and it appears that the coolant flange usually has a leak or a tube connection to it. Managed to fill it with water and bring it home today and planning on taking it to my mechanic tomorrow to check it out.
I know this is not the topic of this thread but any suggestions what else I should be looking out for?
Thanks.

It most likely is the flange. 99% Sure. Everyone sells them so you should not have a problem changing it. Just remove your cold air intake assembly if you have one and your good. The part is fairly inexpensive. Get some new clamps. Takes about an hour to change out. If you have big hands that compounds taking it apart. Let me know if you need a part number.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. After checking it turned out to be a leak from the coolant temperature sensor. My mechanic just replaced the sensor and the o-ring it seems to ok. Gona keep monitoring the coolant level and any signs of further leaks for the next few days just to make sure it’s all ok.
Thanks for the info and assist as always
Cheers
