Welcome to Holland Tom!

I'm very curious about your work around here, so keep us posted .

Cheers.

Hi Tom,

I’ve got a Audi A2 1,4l petrol.
I have a Bose set that I want to install. Is that something you could help me with?
Also there are some other things I like to do.

Greetz,

Martijn

Hallo Audi A2 Club Nederland!

Ik heet Tom. Als kind woonde ik een paar jaar in Nederland, dus spreek ik een beetje Nederlands, maar mijn geschreven Nederlands is niet erg goed. Helaas betekent dit dat ik in het Engels moet schrijven. Sorry!

If any of you are members of A2OC.net, you may know me as Timmus. I provide retrofitting and upgrade services to the UK A2 community. I have upgraded hundreds of A2s and can install any of the factory optional extras (with the exception of climate control and OpenSky). I can install cruise control, DIS/FIS, Colour DIS, Bose, rear electric windows, multifunction steering wheel, Sport seats with electric support adjustment, heated seats, auto-dimming mirror, Bluetooth, double-DIN dashboard, RNS-E SatNav, front fog lights, twin rear fog lights, komfortblinker, etc, etc.
All of the options that I install are fitted to Audi standard, using genuine parts. My upgrades are just like the original factory option.

I also offer a number of upgrades for the TDI engines: remapping (chipping), all-alloy intercoolers, silicone hoses, etc.

In August, I will be visiting a friend in Den Haag. I will also be doing some upgrades for a club member in Rottendam. So, I am letting this club know that I will be available to install upgrades for Dutch and Belgian A2 owners.
I will be travelling to the Netherlands in my A2, so will not have space for large items (Sport seats, double-DIN dashboards, electric window frames, etc). Also, because time is tight, it may not be possible to get all the necessary parts needed for every type of upgrade, but hopefully most requests can be done.

Some examples of my work...

Cruise control...

Some example photos of Colour DIS...

This is an A1 flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel controlling RNS-E SatNav, SDS voice control and Audi Bluetooth phone integration. You can also see that the instrument cluster has had a Colour DIS upgrade. This A2 has also been upgraded with heated Sport seats with electric adjustment.

This photo shows the steering column after I've added the necessary wiring for cruise control, DIS/FIS and a multifunction steering wheel. Therefore, some of the wiring is original Audi and some is made by me. If you cannot see the difference between Audi's work and mine, that's what I want!

During my time in the Netherlands, I will be based in Den Haag. I will also be in Antwerpen for some days. If you would like to have some upgrades added to your A2, or if you would just like to ask some questions about my services, please reply to this message or send me a private message.

Finally, thank you to trebbor77 for introducing me to this A2 community.

Groetjes,

Tom

Ja Trebbor goed gedaan!
Vooral dat nieuwe “ Fisje” is een leuke modernisering denk ik. Zou Arc de eerste zijn die dat heeft?
De naam “ Handig mannetje” is te weinig eer voor hem als ik zo lees wat hij kan. Toch zal dat nu wel zijn bijnaam blijven denk ik.

Hoi Martijn,

Yes, I have installed Bose systems many, many times ...and I am happy to do this for you. However, I must first know if your Bose set is complete. Do you have all the wiring looms, or just the speakers, amplifier, subwoofer, etc?
I can manufacture the Bose wiring, so it's not a problem if you are missing this, but it does add to the total cost.

Groetjes,

Tom

Haha! Bedankt, Jaapje!

Hi Tom,

I got the speakers, connector, subwoofer and amplifier. Hans Jan would order the wiring loom to the amplifier. If you can wire it and is more cost effective, than that would be the way to go. How much is the wiring? I also got a silent coat damping material set to go in.

Hoi Martijn,

It appears I cannot send photos via PB, so here is a photo of everything that's included with the Bose system...

I'll now send you a PB, making reference to this photo.

Thanks,
