Question
Hi Ernesto,
I am currently looking at changing the stereo deck in my 99 audi a8( believe the deck is made by panisonic with bose speakers) to a new alpine cda-9886. I know i need an adapter harness but not sure which one. There are two... one that is a simple plug adapter and one that has an amp intigration harness. do you know which harness i will need. I'm not sure if this system is amplified.
thanx for your help

Answer
Yes there is a factory amplifier, you need this interface

with out this  it will work but the high power of the radio will burn all the factory amplifiers
good luck


also there are no plugs you have to buy 2 factory cheap harness or cut the connections
