INSTALLATION GUIDE
DASH DISASSEMBLY
Audi Non-MMI OEM dashboard. Ensure that appropriate areas of the dashboard are protected by a suitable material to avoid damage during installation.

Using a panel removal tool, pry away and unclip the bottom HVAC panel. Once loose, disconnect the panel connectors and place to one side.

Using the panel removal tool again, begin to unclip the air vent panel. Due care and attention should be taken around the key port as this area is fragile. Once free, remove and place into storage.
-
Unscrew the four bolts that hold the head unit into place. Once free, remove the head unit whilst disconnecting all the wiring. In cases where there are no bolts, you will need to utilize a set of release keys to release the head unit.
DASH MODIFICATION
-
The highlighted sections of the dashboard will need to be cut in order for the new head unit to sit in place correctly. When performing any modification to the vehicle, always ensure to measure where the stereo will sit and take due care when performing modifications to the vehicle. Connects2 always promotes the use and expertise of professional installers. Connects2 will not be held responsible for any damage to the vehicle.
KIT ASSEMBLY -
The ‘airvent bracket’ will need to be placed into the dashboard with the appropriate side facing outward i.e. if working on a right hand drive vehicle, the side facing you would read “RHD”.
