The KWAUDI1 installaon kit allows for the retenon of the vehicle’s steering wheel controls and helps maintain
the original aesthec of the interior when installing a new car stereo. The KWAUDI1 gives you everything you
need for a complete install in one box. The components of this kit are compable for the Audi A4 (8K) and Audi
A5 (8TF) (2008-2015) with Basic Non-MMI factory stereos. The wiring harness and Infodapter interface will
retain the steering wheel controls, factory phone buons and vehicle sengs. It also aids in generang parking
sensor graphics for the new stereo as well as providing an input for a reverse camera (if applicable). Supplied
with a Quadlock connector.
