Hello Rico,
I hope you got some rest....
I don't know how you missed it, BUT it is right there in your pictures ... I think you missed or misunderstood as to the audio out all coming from the one plug, it dose not as you now know and have listed output from both plugs, but what may also be throwing you off, is the fact that some speakers have one feed on the 23 pin plug, with the other on the 24 pin plug, your front tweeters are not components, there are wired straight to the amp as shown in you latest pictures, with the blue and black located in pin hole # 23 on the 24 pin plug, the same is said for the white and black located in pin hole # 2 on the 23 pin plug.

The small green, yellow, and blacks that go into heat shrink are for the phone, NAV, etc.

see pics.

Let's not call them left and right plugs, let's name as to their pin out capacity, the 23 pin plug, and the 24 pin plug.

Here are the wires for you left front tweeter, as shown in your picture they are pins # 21 ( Red & Green) & 24 (Brown & Green) on the 24 pin plug..

You can also tell the tweeter wire by it's size, the tweeter wires are 1.0 VS. 1.5 for all other speakers.

If you zoom in on the layout of the amp you will see the +/- for each wire.

Here are a couple of special tools to seek out your speakers ...

The battery test ...
The other 3.5 Jack can be plugged into a iPod, iPad or Phone if like me you're on your own its great just push the ends into the pins and listen out for the sound to each speaker.

As far as your question in my re-build thread as to auto folding mirrors, you could ask Louis known as ltooz_a6_a8_q7 on Audiworld A8 D3 forum, he has done some similar tweaks by adding relays into circuits such as closing of bootlid by key fob.

Hello Johnny
Now all that is sorted, I was wondering the only thing left is the parking sensors, as everything else goes through the head unit & out down the RCA cables. My plan was to splice into each cable and soldier each outgoing cable from the new amps onto the loom. Then replace the 2 plugs back into the stock amp. Thinking about it its not worth keeping the stock amp just for the parking sensors ?
Would I need a separate amp to send the signal from the loom into an amp & then out to the speakers or would the cables from the loom go direct into the speakers. Which pins & plug/s are used for the parking sensors ...
