Upgrade your Audi A3 (8P) facelift (2006–2013) with the Pioneer SPH-PF97BT 9” Wi-Fi® head unit, part of this complete Perfect Fit package. Enjoy Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ (wired & wireless), Bluetooth® hands-free, WebLink® 3.0, and Pioneer’s Direct Key for quick and safe access to key functions.

The kit includes a 9” bespoke fascia adapter panel, designed specifically for the Audi A3 facelift. This fascia adapts the dashboard aperture into a universal 4-screw stereo mount, allowing seamless integration of the Pioneer stereo while retaining the OEM factory appearance of your car’s interior.

Central to the kit is a Quadlock to ISO plug & play harness with built-in CANbus steering wheel control interface. This cable adapts the factory Quadlock connector to standard ISO connections used by aftermarket stereos, making installation straightforward. The CANbus interface retains steering wheel functions (volume, seek, source, and phone), and generates a key present ignition supply so the stereo powers on with the first key turn and off when the key is removed. It also provides speed pulse, reverse gear, and handbrake outputs, essential for navigation, multimedia, and reverse camera installations. Built into the adapter is a high-to-low level converter for the rear amplified speakers and subwoofer, delivering a cleaner audio signal than standard line-out connections while ensuring full integration with the original amplifier.

A Double Fakra to DIN aerial adapter with phantom power is also included to maintain strong FM/AM radio reception. This ensures every element is covered for a professional-grade stereo upgrade tailored to Audi A3 rear amplified systems.

This head unit fitting kit includes:

Double Fakra to DIN aerial adapter (Phantom Power) with Bullet connector

Double Fakra to DIN antenna adapter cable with 12v phantom power from a male bullet connection. This antenna adapter cable adapts from the original Double Fakra connector in the vehicle to a standard aftermarket radio DIN antenna connection for the fitting of a stereo upgrade.


Audi Quadlock CAN steering wheel control interface and audio adapter cable for rear amplified cars

This cable 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 steering wheel control interface will retain the use of the original radio controls on the steering wheel with an aftermarket stereo. The CANbus 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. The interface also generates speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake output signals, these are used when installing multimedia, navigation units and reverse cameras. 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 rear 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 high to low level adapter gives a much cleaner audio signal to the amplifier compared to using line output phono leads.

9” Fascia Adapter Panel

Designed specifically for the Audi A3/S3/RS3 (2006–2013), this fascia is engineered for a simple, seamless installation of the Pioneer 9” stereo. Built as a bespoke fit for vehicles in the application list, it adapts the dashboard aperture after removing the factory stereo to accept a universally mounted 4-screw head unit. This ensures compatibility with most aftermarket stereos while retaining the original OEM-style appearance of the dashboard.
