A4 Symphony Stereo

[JRW1979]

Can anyone help answer these questions?

a) How do you remove the Symphony stereo as I want to see if I can connect an iPod unit to the back

b) Has anyone connected their iPod to the Standard Symphony unit?

My car is a 2000 A4

Yes you can connect an ipod up using an adapter like this:

Is this the symphony you have in yours?

I use a tape adapter in mine and it works well.:biglaugh:

Remove the radio. If you choose to disconnect the radio power be sure you have the radio unlock code or you'll have no way to unlock the radio from SAFE mode without a trip to the dealer. The factory harness has plenty of wire so you really don't need to disconnect it.
To remove the radio Audi offers a special tool to unlock the radio. I've found that jigsaw blades (with the teeth filed off) also work. Slide the tools into the slots on the radio face then pull the radio straight out. The slanted edge of the tools must be long side to the outside edge of the radio. The removal tools are available from any Audi dealer parts department for about $8

Put a towel or something over your console and A/C controls to keep the radio from scratching things up.
