struggling with AMI part numbers

**revver** · 12-05-2013,02:14 PM

Hi guys,

I know there's loads of posts already about AMI but I'm struggling to work out the part numbers I need.

According to the car data print out from Audi I have "7T2 Nav Low" ""8DP Radio Low II" and "7A6 CD player/Changer".

In the glove box I have a dvd drive with two sd card slots and a cd changer.

I want to replace the CD changer with an AMI.

I take it I don't need optical bridge cables?

Will I need vag-com?

and what is the part no for the AMI that will just slot in?

any help greatly aprreciated

If you have MMI High (Large colour screen) above the centre airvents AMI will work, you may need to update your FW version.

If you have Basic or Basic+ AMI cannot be fitted

AMI will be a straight swap with the CD changer if you have High and your FW is new enough.

That is me guessing you have a pre-facelift car.

Facelift cars are different, you need activation with Audi.

On that note, AMI is wired directly into the 5F unit. Jon said it's easy but I'm pretty sure you need some sort of activation dongle/update from Audi to enable the feature.

You can keep your changer as AMI is located on the roof of the glovebox and only the port is showing, unlike the 2G where its a seperate box.

thanks for the quick reply.

I don't think it's MMI high as the nav is DVD based.
I don't know what you mean by basic or basic+?

I have a face lift car.

sorry Chris, what's a "5f" unit?

I (think) its like the central hub where all your entertainment features live and where your MMI features work from.

A handy thread would be to look here ipod confusion audi models

Jon covered most models from memory on that thread, also look at his started threads as he's commented on it in the past.
