Audi baby yea!

I recently installed an Alpine 7893 headunit and i hit 2 problems. First I couldn't find the wire to hook up the antenna...second when i start the car now the airbag light is lit??? Any ideas???does the airbag light have anything to do w/ the headunit...should i get it checked out??? anyone know where the antenna wire is???? diagrams would help...thanks

For the antenna, you need an adapter that powers the window antenna amplifier. Check the link below.

The airbag control unit is down on the floor under the head unit and climate control. How far into the center console were you (or your installer)? Any chance they knocked a connector loose? Who knows, I'm grasping.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/audio/msgs/11678.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/audio/msgs/11678.phtml</a</li></ul>

I was not that far but hidding all the wiring was a pain it is possible that i pushed it far enough down there what does it look like what should i plug back in...?

There is a reference to a wire you should NOT wire to your deck. I asked about this and was told "Dude your airbag might go off!!!" I can only assume this what might happen with an airbag light. I am sorry I do not remember which wire it is, but chances are you need to check you deck to car wiring or call Scosche for a wiring diagram. Good luck..

then you probably didn't do anything to the airbag control unit. It's basically just a little silver box that sits behind the ashtray. Like I said, if you were just stuffing cables up where the radio is, you probably didn't do anything.

I think Tbandido may be on to something though. There is an OBD K line coupled to the factory head unit, so this may be another source of your problem.
