    AiH-CONTI
Easily connect aftermarket amplifiers to Continental and VDO radios in may European cars.

Due to their ability to support modern media formats; Continental & VDO radios are slowly becoming the radio choice for older European luxury vehicles (BMW*, Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari, Land Rover, Lamborghini etc.) These replacement radios are capable of producing 41Wx4 (Max) which is similar to OE, but if looking to elevate to a new level or clarity and fullness, we highly recommend adding an amplifier and/or powered subwoofer. Unfortunately Continental & VDO radios lack line-level outputs required by most amplifiers and because of that a line-level converter is required. The AiH-CONTI signal sensing technology turns amplifier on/off when radio is turned on/off and unlike most universal line-converters, it is custom fitted with plugs/sockets matching both the Continental/VDO radio and vehicle ISO speaker/power plugs (must have OE plugs) which means factory wiring integrity is not compromised and audio system can easily return to original if and when vehicle is offered up for sale or trade.
Note: To install Continental/VDO radios into a Hi-Fi systems (Nokia, HAES, or Bose); purchase our ARH-CONTI instead.

Our family owned and operated specialty store makes every effort to get your order processed and shipped at soon as possible; but because 92% of our offerings require assembly (built after order completion); additional time (usually 2-4 working days) is required after which time your order will ship using shipping method selected at checkout. Products requiring assembly includes this graphic and a warning message at the end of product description.
Paying for a faster delivery method (e.g. Express mail, Priority mail etc.) for products requiring "assembly" does not speed up assembly (build) time; however, it does speed up delivery time.
Delivery time for in stock products requiring assembly= Assembly time (2-4 working days) + transit time (your shipping method).
