Hello all, im also new to the forum, absolutely love my superb, looking to do some small upgrades and mods, looking on here for some inspiration 

 

 

I would say the Android Auto head unit is the biggest improvement. 

The one in the car is awesome, 10 years ago... Especially if you tour in this beast.

I purchased a android head unit off Facebook, I seen it working in the gentleman’s Passat, fitted it in my car there’s no sound, I’ve read posts on here to leave the car battery off for a hour, I done that still no sound, I did make a post asking for advice never really got much response…

I got mine new from audio tech direct (PBA A85PRO-28V). 

Reason is the connectors are proprietary, and you get warranty if it doesn't work. 

It's gonna be hard to test your unit without another car 😞

Just an fyi when I fitted mine it didn't need any adjustments to get sound if you play Bluetooth or something direct from the unit.

It only had a separate connector for GPS (ATD FAK-21022). Also the radio only has FM unless you buy a DAB convertor PBA UCA-70354 and ATD FAK-21027 which I didn't get as you can use your phone to stream Spotify etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice matey, I’m now sure of different years she different connections, I know they all look the same the quad lock, I know for a fact the head unit I purchased works properly as I seen it in the persons Passat I got it off, soon as it was taken out and put in mine it had no sound

I mean they could have done a switch-a-roo with the working one, and gave you an identical brick unit? 

If the quad lock fits, and your old unit works in your car still, you have a dead new unit I am afraid.
