Integration Without an Aftermarket Radio

Most OEM Audi radios from this generation don’t provide RCA outputs, which can make adding an amp or sub tricky. But the Caliber BC121US supports high-level input, allowing easy connection directly to speaker wires.

• Bass enhancement without replacing your radio • Volume matched with factory fade/balance • Controlled via included remote level knob
