Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A tricky question... I am installing a AA/CP 2-DIN unit. I need to bypass the OEM amplifier. Part number 996 645 331 01 I do not want to splice wires, so I thought I would get a male plug (like the one on the amplifier) and simply create a harness. If it was ever needed, I can just disconnect it and revert to previous state. Any clue what is the plug type? Like the radio has ISO plugs, maybe the amplifier has a some kind of standard plug as well. Thanks for help. Oh, and l looked on eBay and I may just get some used amplifier and just re-use the plug from it. Yet, maybe there is a cheaper solution, like the plug itself. Thanks in advance. P.S. I looked up a similar question on Renntech. It seems it is a dead end street.... but maybe something changed over the years.

POST 2Original post

I'm pretty sure that between the Audis and Porsches I've scrapped I have an amp with that connector. I'll check tonight.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, that's the route I took... I found a cheap amp on eBay to sacrifice it. 20 bucks is not cheap plug, but much easier to work with than splicing 9 wires. How much you'd like for yours?

POST 4Original post

All the amps I found tonight were BOSE with a different connector. Slight chance there's still one like you need in an Audi TT I can look through tomorrow evening.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
