Title: Bose/Audi Concert CD Player
Post by: bobbarley on 19 February 2009, 22:03

Does anyone know whether they will work in the mk4?  I imagine the sound quality, with some good speakers, would be quite excellent :)

the audi h/u will not fit it is actually around 1/2 an inch either side to wide
the iso plug on the back IS the same as a vw but the bose system is usually amplified and the amps are on the rear of the speakers
for the amount of effort to get it all to fit its not worth it
also the audi speakers are all 5.25" so again not a direct fit

As above, the Audi BOSE set up is a bit more than a headunit and speakers. It has sperate amps and the headunits I believe are coded to run the BOSE setup. We have it in our A3 and it does sound good.
