So many more questions now!!!!
Where did you get your copy of elsawin?
Where did you get your android unit?
Where did you buy your smartop?
Anyway, back to the main issue, I have taken my car apart, and cut wires!!!!
Please help me wire it back up, got to do it tomorrow really?!?!?!
New Bose Amp : 8H0 035 223 B
Original Non-Bose Amp : 8H0 035 223
Yep that is the Cabriolet model so would follow the Elsawin printouts I posted earlier.
I think mine is from a Saloon, can't remember (though could be a later one!).
Anyway, back to your questions:
Where did you get your copy of elsawin? Ebay
Where did you get your android unit? AliExpress - Aliexpress.com : Buy Pure Android 4.2.2 Car DVD Player For Audi A4 2002 2008 Dual Core A9 2 Din 7" Canbus DVB T Box GPS Navi Wifi RDS Music SWC 3G from Reliable dvd recorders and players suppliers on Shenzhen Digital Kingdom Technology Co., Ltd | Alibaba Group note there are comprimises - look up XDA.com and put in Heuifei - sound quality takes a hit compared to other units.
Where did you buy your smartop? www.mods4cars.com - came from Germany :) nice guys, very helpful.
Also, I bought a full "wiring loom" on ebay - try and get one from a B6 (I got by accident B8) - will save you a fortune if you plan to do lots of mods as you get all the connectors, wires etc. you can get cable ends (note connectors come from audi) wurth (wuerth) but the vw kit is very expensive!

Good evening,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Got most of the Bose wired up now, just gotta connect the front speakers.
Do you now what I need to do with the Bose input on the back of the stereo?
Also, I can't seem to program the radio into Bose mode ?!?
Next time i'm up the scrapyard I will get one, good idea.
Cheers
Ben
Oh and I bought this yesterday after you said about Android HU : Dynavin DVN-A4 (D99) Android | eBay
not sure what "bose mode" is - I thought (though could be wrong) that Bose takes the output of the radio, plus the input from a mic which goes into the light panel and adjusts the sound based on ambient sound.
Which radio do you have - 1 din or 2 din?
W.
Great price. you can get canbus etc for it if you have steering controls (I added these to mine).
W.
I have a 2 din.
I know, bargain :-)
Dodgy CD drive, but hardly listen to CD's and prob take it apart to see if I can fix it.
I really want to add a multi function steering wheel, but B6 have 1 airbag where as the B7 had 2 or something like that.
Thank you for all your help, greatly appreciated.
Where abouts are you?
Hey,
Not sure if you are finished but was doing some work on mine today and remembered that the front speakers on the "non Bose" were powered directly from the radio. as a result I had to run a cable from behind the radio to the bose amp otherwise no front speakers!!!
my Amp is the same as yours only the C version. Don't think it makes much difference though.
Did you get the speaker covers - as far as I remember the bose ones only cost about £5 each and complete the look.
Finally, if you want multi function steering wheel, Audi did do it for the B6. I ended up putting in a heated one from an A6 but it works fine. you may need to change the unit behind the wheel (as far as I remember) and get the correct cable to link up the switches. Note you only really get track/station + and - as well as volume + and - (mine has two other switches, tel and telematics I think but I was never able to get any of the aftermarket units to recognize them).
