MMI Retro=fit What parts do i need to convert my MMI basic to MMI high

**powermad1** · 17-07-2011,09:52 PM

As above would like to convert my mmi basic (red screen) to mmi high (full colour) i know of a few people who do it for a living but obviously wouldnt tell me what parts i required. does anybody on here know a list of parts i need to convert it??
i guessed at the bigger screen console buttons cd changer and sat nav drive but i am unsure what else is required. will these parts use the same harness that is in the car??
also i am willing to do this in stages so if i can upgrade my cd player and radio and car computer etc and do the sat nav later i will.

You can buy the whole kit and caboodle from kufatec second hand for about a grand and this lists all the parts required. From memory, you will need:

New screen
New head unit
DSP Amp (as you will have MMI High)
New control panel (for centre console)
New CD Changer (not sure why)
New Sat Nav drive (DVD)
Wiring loom adapter

There is no point doing it in stages as you will have to rip the interior part. Best to collect the parts up first, take a deep breath and tear down and re-build over the weekend.

there is a couple of sets on ebay which i am tempted to buy they both look equally good but one shows more parts than the other yet both are advertised as complete units?? what part of the wiring loom would need changed i would of thought most of it would be the same?
also with regards to my previous post on the rs6 parts i have opted to go down the s6 route as the parts are way cheaper and i can do it all myself.
anyone that has a s6 front and or rear bumper for sale let me know.

I have an s6 front bumper but I ain;t selling it. Just remember that this bumper is identical to the sline in appearance but has a specific moulded mounting for the LED running lights.

High guys.

I'm new to the forum, and new to Audi's. I have a 57 reg A6 with MMI basic and would like to upgrade to high at some point and have been doing a bit of research, just found this add on ebay Audi A6,A4,Q7 Convert MMI Basic into MMI High | eBay

Has anyone had this done through these guys, and if so what does it involve/consist of? Am wondering if i could just get the colour screen for now as the monochrome screen is the one thing thats bothering me about the car at the moment, then do the rest of the upgrade in the future?

Also, am i right in thinking that MMI basic does not have MOST and this is why you need to replace the CD changer when converting to High?

Thanks in advance, i have many more questions about the car, but will save them for a new thread

Andy.
