2008 Audi A6 retrofit options?

[deano35]

Hi, I am going to purchase an Audi A6 in a few days and I was wondering exactly what my options are regarding upgrading the navigation (if possible to utilise phone sat nav?) and the Bluetooth for better phone functionality, like streaming Spotify with my Samsung S7? It is a 2008 A6 2.0 TDI Limited Edition. I haven't actually been able to get pictures of the stereo in person yet but has anyone got any ideas from this photo? Willing to spend but nothing too crazy if possible, any help would be greatly appreciated. Just stumbled across the forum, seems like an excellent community! Thanks in advance.

No carpay or Android Auto on a car of that age. On the A6 you would be looking at 2016 to get CP or AA.

No streaming options by default, you would need to install some 3rd party hardware. Also note on the A6 there are no third party system that could replace the main entertainment system, it run on a fiber optic bus and links into the car and controls some of the comfort systems, like windows, lighting, clock adjustment etc.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any third party hardware you could point me towards? I guess I will just have to use the in-car nav and try and get some updated maps. I have been trying to get my head around which version of the MMI the car is likely to have, working on the assumption that all the 2008 limited editions had the AMI but this is probably wishful thinking.

Need pictures of the actual MMI system & software version installed before I can comment on options.

Found the optional extras of the vehicle added when purchased if that helps;

-MMI High
-CD Changer
-Navigation system for DVD

Does not seem to have the AMI though.
