Answers for A3 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppHow much does car radio cost on a Audi A3?
It depends on the generation. 8P (2003–2012): from €290; 8V (2012–2020): from €850. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Audi A3 years can have car radio?
8P, built 2003–2012 (Concert, Chorus or Symphony radio in a double-DIN slot, RNS-E navigation optional; Bose on some cars): 9-inch Android screen in the double-DIN opening with a matching fascia, DAB and the steering-wheel buttons kept; Bose cars keep the factory amplifier. 8V, built 2012–2020 (MMI radio or MMI navigation with a pop-up screen: MIB1 to 2016, MIB2 from the 2016 facelift with the Audi smartphone interface as an option; Virtual Cockpit optional): 10.25-inch Android screen replacing the pop-up display, MMI knob and steering-wheel buttons kept; MMI radio cars gain navigation and a camera input.

What stays factory when you fit car radio on a Audi A3?
On every A3 we work on — 8P and 8V — the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and speakers, the reverse camera and the climate controls stay; the new unit adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input.

Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (8P and 8V) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
