Radio Shack 4 pin harness (Item#278-767B)

Wrapped in hockey stick tape (very “OEM-like”) Please Note: In a Symphony I head unit, it will be necessary to use a harness like this one to access the CAN H/L functions from the instrument cluster. In a Symphony II, you can access the CAN H and CAN L from the 20 pin connector, pin 7 and 12, respectively. © Copyright – Ted Basile ( [email protected] )

Nav Plus Installation – Phase 1 (Removing the Instrument Cluster)

Remove these two philips head screws. FYI They are on tight, so make sure you have the correct size Phillips head; you don’t want to strip that screw head. ☺

Symphony I

Cluster will come out like this. Use a flathead screwdriver to rotate-up the purple tab on the blue connector first. Do same for grey and green connectors, in that order. Install in reverse order.

To avoid scratching your steering column make sure to cover it with blue painters’ tape.

Symphony II

With the cluster out, you should see the blue, grey and green Instrument cluster connectors.

Nav Plus Installation – Phase 1 (Location of GPS antenna/receiver)

1g.

GPS is located up here using Velcro strips.

G G GPS wire: leave yourself 3 feet of slack from here to behind your HU area. Using 2” Velcro strips, I attached my GPS antenna up inside the dash area (above the inst. Cluster). You can’t see it from this location, but when you have the cluster out, you will notice a little “cubby hole” area where you can insert the GPS. I put the Velcro strips down first, then wrapped my GPS in Velcro; it’s in there pretty tight. As for reception, I average 5 or 6 GPS satellites received most of the time (a minimum of 3 is needed). As for the remaining wire, you can also wrap it in Velcro and stuff in that same cubby area. I decided to run the GPS wire (see “G”) in between these metal support pieces (not required for everyone else). © Copyright – Ted Basile ( [email protected] )

TMC/CAN gateway (Audi part#4B1-919-894B)

This bracket will be removed to install the TMC/CAN underneath the drivers’ side dashboard of an A6

Please note: This is a 4B0 919 895B TMC device and does not offer CAN functionality. Both the 4B0 and the 4B1 versions have the 12 pin connector and some 4B0's have a larger 26ish pin blue connector as well.

1j.

Heavy duty “zip ties” are used to hold it in place.

FYI - Steering wheel column

In relation to your Nav+ head unit and your instrument cluster, this is probably the best place to locate your TMC/CAN gateway unit for a A6/S6/RS6/allroad. TMC/CAN Gateway

My unit came with the OEM mounting bracket, but I found it very difficult to fit into this area without doing a lot of permanent damage to the dash area. I spent over an hour trying to make it fit with no success. Instead, I decided to remove the mounting bracket (see diagram 1h) with a Torx T7 or T8 wrench.

Velcro strips to reduce potential noises

My solution was to attach it to one of the existing metal braces inside the dashboard using large velcro strips (to reduce an future metal-on-metal vibrations) and large plastic electrical zip ties. It is pretty snug…and not going anywhere. Please note: Make sure you are able to access your 12 pin connector so you can easily plug it in later in the installation.

Nav Plus Installation – Phase 2 (The Female 20 pin connector for Symphony I and II) 20 pin (Connector I) split into three distinct sections: - Blue: 8 pins for OEM CD Changer, PhatBox or Blitzsafe interface etc. - Green: 6 pins for various functions (CAN H, CAN L etc) - Yellow: 6 pins for line-level output to Bose or aftermarket amplifier

20 pin (Connector I) typically found as one unit: I relocated the pins to the blue/green/yellow version and taped back the pins that weren’t applicable for the Nav+ conversion. This way, I don’t cut any wires and can reinstall my Symphony unit if need be.

There are clips on the other side of these holes that allow you to slide these connectors off from each other.

You’ll need to remove this yellow “locking bar” in connectors II, III and IV (use an exacto-knife or razor blade) before removing any female pin. In connector I, you only need to slide a purple “locking bar” out a bit. FYI – you’ll still need a special tool to do this (see diagram 2i).

Please note: Stahwille tool# 1556 (female pins of 20 pin) and 1591 cover the smaller and larger terminals. They cost $90 (purchased from www.asttool.com ) each but can be borrowed from me to switch your pins over. © Copyright – Ted Basile ( [email protected] )

Please note: The space behind the glove box is extremely tight. There is very little room to locate electronics.

Nav Plus – Phase 3 (Location of IR sensor for Blaupunkt ME3 CD/DVD/MP3/TV Tuner)

Running the wire for the IR sensor was extremely easy. There is an open space where the dashboard meets the bottom of the windshield. I used a 2” plastic putty knife to feed the wire along the edge of the windshield and at the base of the A pillar. © Copyright – Ted Basile ( [email protected] )

Nav Plus – Phase 3 (Aftermarket Amplified TV Tuner antenna)

Please note: The Blaupunkt ME3 comes with a non-amplified TV antenna. The reception is horrible…so I decided to invest in an amplified antenna. I will hide it in the headliner near the windshield and run the wire down the A pillar. This antenna has a F-connector which works with my ME3. http://www.qualitymobilevideo.com/tvtunersandantennas.html © Copyright – Ted Basile ( [email protected] )

Nav Plus Installation – OEM Glovebox CD Changer

For the B6 A4/S4 and C6 A6, Audi offers a glove box CD Changer. Unfortunately, there is a specific version/revision letter that works with the Navigation Plus. The US Audi parts dealers cannot source this part. You can contact www.vagparts.com as they can order it for you. For the OEM glove box changer you must get part# 8E0 035 111 B, or C. It must have a version letter at the end of the part number. It also requires harness, part#8E0 051 592. Please note: If you would like to mount this OEM CD Changer in your glove box, please follow some of the steps that I took to install the Blaupunkt ME3. You can always consult a car stereo installation shop as another option. Courtesy of Ted Basile ( [email protected] )
