    a bit of a curve ball here, but the Polo can be fitted with a radio that only has speakers in the front, it needs a different radio all together to have rear speakers

    So if I fit a radio that has the ability to put sound out to 4 speakers, I need to feed into the front speakers with speaker cable.

    So as daft as it sounds, did the car originally have speakers in the rear & does the new radio unit have the ability to play in the rear ?

    Yes the lg radio mp3 player can play to rear speakers,it did in my b5.5 passat.

    In the a6 c5 avant the rear speakers are run from the amp in the boot,im not sure which wire i need to splice to get power to the rear amp.i know its something simple but i dnt have any electrical knowledge hense i asked for help.

    I could be wrong but thats what i have read

    Ross-Tech: VCDS: Afterrmarket Radio Problem


    putting in your radio may mean you need vcds to play about with the can bus. I have no idea how to do it and switch the amp on

    a workaround for your problem might be ............................... buy a CD changer that goes in left hand side of the boot .................. that might play your MP3's and I am sure Kenwood fitted it my old A6 2001 that I had

    that then might work the old radio that was fitted to your car ??

    Yes the rear speakers and amp worked before i changed the headunit
    However i was getin a interference sound through the speakers and i wanted to change from cds to mp3 player,much handier just using a stick in the car than loads of cds
    I think the amp isnt getin a constant feed of power to work it,im sure its just a cable that needs to be spliced
    I might try and take a picture and see if anybody notices that something is a miss

    Thanks for feedback
