Default Phatbox Install - 25 Pin Male not 13 Pin

Hopefully someone can explain my situation. I have a 01' A4 with a Symphony I. When I check for the CD changer cable all I find is a 25 pin male connector (not the 13 pin everyone seems to have). Can someone help explain this?

Keep looking, I think the 25pin is for a phone install or somthing, my S4 has the 13 & 25

Thanks. I'll check again. Is there a chance it was not wired? Or were all vehicles wired.

Default It is possible that your car was not wired for the CD changer...

Audi sells a cable kit that has the 13 DIN connector at one end and the Pins / connectors for the radio at the other. I think price for the kit is in the $115 range.
Keep looking for the 13 pin DIN you may find it.

Default ^^^ I think that's the ticket, or were they wired to the glove box?

not sure, I'd have to check my PB manual at home.

Default If you need to run a harness to the trunk...

use a VW harness and you won't need the Audi adaptor.
