Default B9 line-in step by step (with photos)

As promised, here is a step by step guide on how to install a line-in cable to a B9 (without the RSE option installed).

Step 1: prepare the audio cable, in my case I used an RCA-3.5mm cable and cut the RCA jacks off. I twisted the grounds from both sides together.



Naturally you'll need 3 wires, a ground, a left and a right. You can start by stiffening up the wires by soldering some thicker wire to them.

Step 2: Pull the trim off the passenger side so you can acccess the screws for the radio/climate panel



You start on the right side and either pull (quite) hard on it, or by inserting a plastic gap opener into the side and pulling it off.



With the trim removed you'll see the first screw.

Step 4:

Pull the decorative cover off the gear changer, either by hand, or with a plastic wedge




Step 5: Pull the whole gear cover off:



You'll now see 2 more screws for the radio panel.

Step 6:

Pull the small piece of trim off to the right of the wheel, you'll need a wedge again (if you don't have a wedge try a flat screwdriver with some duct tape over the blade to prevent scratching your car



You will now see all 4 screws:



Step 7:

Disconnect the 2 connectors that lead to the radio/climate panel



Step 8:

Remove the 4 screws holding the radio in place:
