I test drove a 2006 A3 2.0t with Sport package on the highway and it was truly deafening - I had to shout to be heard by the passenger. Is this typical, or did I perhaps drive one with an exhaust leak? I've driven a GTI on the highway, and it wasn't deafening.

Also, are Parrot bluetooth kits available for the A3? Or would I be better off replacing the whole radio?

 

I have a 2007 A3 with the Bose Symphony II stereo. There are devices available. I have a Parrot MKi9100 but I am having trouble with mine. I think it may not have been installed properly. I'm looking into it further now.

 

I would get the Motorola T605 installed. It works great with VW and Audi models.

 

Do you know if there is a vehicle adapter harness available anywhere to connect to the 2008 A3 concert audio system?

Any advice on running the mic cable?
