Answer by AutoToys Staff A: It is easier to wire it in the front, as the cd changer cable is hard to get to in the TT. For a mount, which does not require screwing,you may want to look at http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=11392
Answer by AutoToys Staff A: The microphone is only used for phone calls, so the other party can hear you. You can answer the call through the phone or your radio, you pick on the iphone via the tab in the corner.
Answer by AutoToys Staff A: The microphone comes with the bluetooth kit, if you do NOT ADD it with the drop down when ordering, you will get neither the bluetooth kit, nor the microphone included with the bluetooth kit. watch our videos, more than one video using a Grom kit and Bluetooth.
Answer by AutoToys Staff A: I am not sure which order you are with, but I think you ordered the TRUNK PLUG (which is the plug that wires to the prewired CD changer plug in the trunk of a car, in the glove compartment or center console). It does not wire behind the radio. If you need to make the change, email us and we'll help you.
It now includes a USB and 3.5 connection, but it does NOT have USB control. It charges USB only and audio does not come from the USB. If you need an USB kit, se http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=14147
Bluetooth kit can be added later
Answer by AutoToys Staff A: The unit has to be in the GROM mode (cd changer mode) for bluetooth or the ipod or aux to work. It is recommended that you shut off bluetooth when docked to avoid conflicts with both the bluetooth and the ipod being connected. Once pair, it connects automatically.
Answer by AutoToys Staff A: If you select AUDI from the drop down, we include the Y HARNESS (the yellow, red and blue) harness for free. Radio tools are not included.
Answer by AutoToys Staff A: No, you do not require an external disc changer for it to work, nor did one have to be in the car. Your radio is already to accept the unit (it does not require programming). The bluetooth unit comes with a microphone, mounting tab, and the bluetooth unit itself. The bluetooth option is an option.
Do not forget to get the radio removal tools, see http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=246
Answer by AutoToys Staff A: Everything aftermarket emulates the cd changer, so with every product, regardless of manufacturer, you will lose the cd changer. You have an ipod anyway, cd changer only holds so much music.
