Fitting DAB Radio in A8 2005

[Neil Page]

Hi all,
I have bought myself a lovely A8 2005 3.0tdi.I would like to fit DAB. I have a few questions please.

1. I have the pop up colour SATNAV so does that mean I have MMI -G2?? .....

2. I believe I need Audi Q7, A6, A4,A5,A8, MMI 2G DAB RADIO WITH PLUG&PLAY WIRING 4E0910563C | eBay ??

3. Are there any instructions for fitment available???

Cheers....Neil

Hi,

Yes you have MMI 2G, I think that item is correct will double check in EPC.

Tis correct one, a friends 2008 A8 uses the same control module for 2G.

Have a look on ebay in Germany, that's where I bought mine from, paid about £110 delivered. you should be able to get the fibre and power cable set for about £45 - £50

Hi Neil,

MMI modules have usually 2 part no:-

Software: 4E0 910 563 C
Hardware: 4E0 035 563

Search both for greater results, with & without spaces, the C rev SW is the latest.

Link:- This german ebayer was where I got mine Link:- This was the cheapest cable set I found

For the fibre optical cable you will have to do some of your own dismantling/assembly as this is not the one which is already configured. On the fibre optical plugs is an arrow denoting data in/out as the MOST loop works in series you will be creating another loop in it.

Link:- This one is fully plug and play

Plus you'd still need the DAB aerial, quick view of EPC shows that aerial unit fitted above the rear windscreen will not have DAB aerial as yours did not come with it from factory.

Hi all,

Hi,
I have the module and wiring kit now, you have mentioned I would not have the "aerial unit fitted above the rear windscreen"....do you mean the Aerial amplifier, I have one coming...hopefully... or do I need something else as well!!?
