trying to install audi navigation plus into 2005 audi a4 b6
i have a 2005 a4 (b6) and i cant find the 10 pin harness in my car.
Also- when i couldnt do the install and i put my symphony II back in, my car shut down went into SAFE MODE. Not my stereo, my entire car.
WHy is this and how do i make sure it doesnt happen again when i do install?

BY SAFE MODE I MEAN : under my trip odometer when i put key in ignition it states: SAFE If I put key in ignition and turn, car starts up and shuts down immediately. Its a safety feature by Audi (i.e immobilizer).
I was told by Audi road side assistance that i needed to have my car towed to closest audi dealership for my keys to be reprogrammed?

MY QUESTION IS: How do I make sure this doesnt happen after (if i find a way) installation of Nav+? Is it as simple as not disconnecting battery during install or what???????

are you sure this will take care of my CAR not being in safe mode? or are you talking about my navi not being in safe mode?
thank you for your help

also what about the 10 pin harness??

Could you explain what you mean by your car being in safe mode? I have never heard about this.

i stated what i mean in my first post under WHAT I MEAN BY SAFE MODE:


THANX

thank you but link doesnt work.
i do know that the idiots at the custom shop did unplug my battery before they started working. For some reason, I really think this si the cause but not sure.
CAN YOU repost the link for me anyway please.


Also, does anyone know why these "idiots" at the custom shop told me that they needed to connect some wires to a 10 pin harness from my car.
A 10 pin harness that they state my car doesnt have.
Is it me, or is it that these guys had no clue what they were doing even after me printing out all the instructions from the nav+ info site for a4 b6 2002+ install instructions?

any help is appreciated

thank you but link doesnt work.

I've just clicked on the link and it's good.

link works now. thx


thank you for all responses -
i have come to conclusion that the custom shop really had no clue, despite them telling me they have installed a navi on a audi tt.
no need for any 10 pin connector
no need to disconnect battery - only to set my car into safe mode

That kinda proves they have no clue - the Nav+ won't fit in a TT!!! :shock:

lmao - looks like im the idiot.
they worked on my car for 15 hours - i didnt pay them a CENT.
im gonna try and take my car to someone else. a guy that works on audis for parts and stuff.
i would try and do it myself but i dont have 5 hours and plus not sure how difficult it is considering i have only installed car stereos and a pioneer avh-p6500dvd.

just as a follow up to this - i finally found out today (a week and a half later) that my car is fixed by audi. the reason m car went into safe mode and wouldnt start up is becuase the gd idiots who i hired to install my car (the ones who claim they couldnt install becuase i didnt have the 10 pin harness in my car) these guys when they went to undo everything they did to try and install, FORGOT TO HOOK BACK UP THE 2 WIRES TO MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
needless to say this cost me 6 hours of labor and a 482.67 bill payable to audi.
just thought some would get a kick out of my misery.
and thanks for all who have helped me so far.
im gonna go cry now.

oh yeah i think im gonna bust some heads. as far as the dealership charging me for 6 hours , my car has been there since last wednesday. they have tried to reprogram the keys only to find that the keys wouldnt program. then they said that my car was showing errors they have never seen before. remember from my end i didnt tell the dealership anything more than i had to. by tinkering with the car, audi doesnt cover that under warranty....... so........... anyway - my cars fixed, hopefully now i get harness fixed up so its plug and play and voila.
