    I have now completed my upgrade after buying the module and receiving a lot of advice from @neilos100.

    I have a 2010 Avant Le Mans with the 3G basic system but this mod was so easy to gain DAB. I purchased the 4G module (4G0 035 061N) with DAB+ and simply bought the internal aerial (AFAR Amplified) and fakra connection (DOW-10) from dabonwheels rather than going to the extent of using Audi's amplifier and aerial in the OS glass. Simply plug and play! No software issues etc. The aerial is mounted at the top of the tailgate window and tracked down the LHS pillar with the brake light wiring. The signal is fantastic! CP removal is the last thing which is being done this Friday.

    Hopefully this should be of help to someone else looking to do this mod.

    That’s interesting as my 2009 Dab seems to be dropping stations every time I look another has gone off the list. Wonder if I can directly replace mine.

    Looks like they are the same, do they have component protection?

    From my understanding the unit will generate a CP fault even with a CP removed unit as the CAN Gateway will see the change in serial numbers of the radio.

    The 4G0 035 061 radio unit was for the later models built after 08/11/2010.

    Before this the 4F0 035 061 B or D model would be more suitable.

    From my research these 4G and 4F units are the same with the exception the 4G has DAB + and the 4F only has regular DAB....this means you cannot listen to digital radio on the continent if you have the 4F unit....also there are more and more stations being broadcast on DAB+ in the UK.
    DAB cannot receive a DAB+ signal but a DAB+ tuner is backward compatible with DAB

    No there not, my answer was based on not knowing if the 4G0 units were compatilble with the earlier cars.

    Neilos100 has cleared this up.
