Transform your Audi A3 (8P) facelift (2006–2013) with the Pioneer Perfect Fit stereo upgrade kit, designed to combine cutting-edge technology with an OEM-style finish. At the core of this kit is the Pioneer SPH-PF97BT 9.0” Wi-Fi® car stereo, offering wireless & wired Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, WebLink® 3.0, and Pioneer’s Direct Key for safe, one-touch operation.

This kit includes a bespoke 9” fascia adapter panel, engineered specifically for the Audi A3 facelift. It adapts the original dashboard aperture to suit the Pioneer 9” stereo, using a universal 4-screw mount while preserving the factory-style appearance. The result is a seamless, integrated look that complements your Audi interior.

To ensure full compatibility, the package also contains an Audi quadlock to ISO CANbus ignition interface, which provides proper CANbus ignition switching and supports rear amplified sound systems, as well as a Double Fakra to DIN aerial adapter with 12V phantom power for reliable FM/AM reception. This complete upgrade delivers premium sound quality, smartphone integration, and modern multimedia functionality while retaining key vehicle features.

This head unit fitting kit includes:

Audi quadlock to ISO radio adapter cable with CANbus ignition interface

This Quadlock to ISO adapter cable with CANbus ignition adapts from the original connector in the car, known as a quadlock, to standard aftermarket connectors for the new stereo, known as ISO connectors. The CANbus ignition interface generates a key present ignition supply to the new stereo, this means the stereo will turn on with the first click of the key and stay on until the key is removed from the ignition barrel. This interface is built into the Quadlock to ISO harness adapter so installation is plug and play.

The plug and play Quadlock to ISO cable also has a built in high to low level adapter for the amplified speakers. The adapter allows the new stereo to work with the original amplifier which drives all the speakers in the car and the subwoofer. The adjustable high to low level adapter gives a much cleaner audio signal to the amplifier compared to using line output phono leads.

Antenna adapter cable

Double moulded Fakra Aerial adapter cable for European cars that have amplified original antennas. Use with cars that have twin antenna both requiring power. This cable converts the cars existing ISO aerial plug to an aftermarket DIN type used by most car radio manufacturers. Will also provide a power feed to give 12 volt from the car radio to the cars amplified antenna.

9 Inch Fascia adapter panel

Custom-designed for Audi A3 (8P) facelift (2006–2013), this fascia allows seamless installation of a universally mounted 4-screw stereo, converting the factory aperture while retaining the OEM-style dashboard appearance.
