Default ATTN: John P./Jeff B. - RE: rear speakers input in '04 TT

Hi guys,

I've just spent most of the week-end installing a new head unit (the Clarion VRX935VD) in my 2004 TT 3.2 and I've got almost everything working.

I purchased the Scosche VW01B wiring harness from sounddomain.com (thanks for the guidance John - awesome member page BTW) and connected the front speakers through it.
According to Jeff's diagram below, the front speaker inputs are clearly labeled as LF +/- and RF +/- :

<img src="http://ttbipes.home.comcast.net/jpgs/headunitwiring.jpg">

However, I can't figure out whether the RR/LR/COM pins are for the rear speakers or not. Would RR be the + for rear right, LR the + for rear left, and COM the - ??
Do I also need to connect the "Remote Amp Sw. On" pin, and if so, to what wire function?
Also, where can I get a wiring harness with a connector that would match that bottom plug?


Thanks for your help,
Marc


PS: BTW Jeff, the "Dash Lights" (I) and switched +12v (S) connectors are not on the car's connector anymore - must be a newer model "feature", although I only have the Concert HU. So I had to route the new HU's wires for those connections all the way to the fuse box

Those are *line-level* outputs, not speaker level. They go to the amp

Why are you putting a DVD player/screen in your TT?

Default Thanks Jeff, so do I still need the wire the remote switch function?

Also, would you know where to get the Maystar RCA adapter from?

Thanks again,
Marc

Default That's right, he he.. no really, it's mostly for Sirius satellite radio

it's nice having all the song's info displayed at once on the 7" screen.
And, for those long trips to Tahoe or SoCal, my girlfriend likes having DVD's to watch on the way..
Also, the unit plays MP3 CD-Roms with ID3 tags, so I can have 10+ hours of music per CD and all the song's info!

Default You know what, I found another Scosche adatper on sounddomain.com

the VWK1 - this one seems to have a 3rd connector, probably what I need!

Can someone confirm or deny this?

Thanks,
Marc

you can simply take a tap off a 'switched' source. This is not a big current draw to turn on the a

Default Cool features, I just wish Audi used a standard DIN opening

It makes any aftermarket unit look wrong to me. sonsabitches.

Default Well, it IS a standard DIN opening, for the most part..

only thing wrong is that damn "TT" aluminum flap that forces you to stick the unit out a little more to allow the screen from opening. And then you can't even close the flap because it hits the front panel!!

Anyone know how to remove it completely??
