Revised August 22, 2019

Introduction:
Many VW Group Owners are looking for an easy an effective way of connecting
and listening to their portable audio devices on the factory radio. The PXDXVW3
works on the CD Changer port of select 2002-09 VW Group Double DIN
Radios that are NOT pre-wired for the CD Changer. This adapter works on
Premium 6 and 7 Radios and takes the place of the factory External CD
Changer** or SiriusXM Radio options.
Installation:
Warning! Although not critical, we recommend disconnecting the car battery.
Keep in mind that most Audi/VW radios are coded and will not operate without
the code. Radio code must be available for radio to operate upon reconnection.
1. Remove radio from the dashboard to gain access to the connectors.
2. Special radio removal tools (See Fig. 1) are required to remove these
Radios. (2 pairs)

from Radio (See Fig. 2 )

SiriusXM options are installed. Disconnecting this plug will remove the factory
option from the system.

radio as illustrated in Fig. 2
