Ok i have been searching and reading for quite a while on this topic, i finally got my concert hu and when i connected it up the front left speaker no longer works...it works with my old delta unit just not the concert unit. My question is any ideas to the problem?...it says bose when it is turned on but it is not a bose system in my car...does this need reporgrammed? Also, i have heard various things about a power wire needing to be cut, is this nessecary in this situation? BTW my car is a '96 A4 2.8 non-bose

thank you so much,

although it seems weird only one side in the front is not working...

Audi Logic

are you sure that side of the radio isn't blown

bender7

i checked all the connections with voltage meter and they all seem to check out...how else could i check if its blown?

Audi Logic

do you have a small speaker you could hook to it just to test.
also try recoding it to non bose.
it may be uing the lineouts

bender7

also to recode it i would in fact have to run the k-line before a took it to someone with a VAG-COM like repair shop corect?

Audi Logic

yes you would have to connect the k-line, try and find someone local with a vag-com

I have the EXACT same problem! The Concert needs to be recoded to non-Bose settings for the front left speaker to work. The problem is, the '96 doesn't support radio recoding. I have my own professional VAG-COM, and I can't access the radio module. The Ross-tech support staff says it isnt possible in the '96. Can anyone tell me about this "k-line" stuff? I tried searching the forums, and haven't found anything specific... I hope this can be done, as I got the Concert to hook up my iPod through the CD changer input (which works great, by the way!).
