    Hi,
    sold my range rover on Saturday and picked this up on Sunday. It really is in good condition and loads of history which is good.

    the only downsides are that it doesn't have Bose and it doesn't have the proper screen (the 7" one)
    is that something that I can put in if need be?
    Just think it looks better.

    anyway, here it is...






    Is it worth mapping these engines? Do they come riddled with problems with 114k?

    Welcome.

    You can fit MMI High and BOSE but it's more hassle than its worth imo for example see here for the laborious MMI retrofit - VW AUDI Forum - VWAF

    BOSE is again complicated and expensive.

    Not sure what the advice is remapping high milers, have a look on the forum

    I wouldn't worry about not having Bose. I have 2 A6, one with Bose and one without, in my opinion the basic (non Bose) set up is better.

    Great thanks.
    i didn't know the names of the 2 screens, so I have a 'basic' system?

    sorry should have explained it better, I'm not bothered about Bose. Just would've been nice to have it.

    You have Basic+ going by the 8 control buttons.

    I was referring to the audio system rather than the MMI.

    Looking to get some LED rear lights, will they need coding? I saw the thread a while ago but wonder if they are just plug and play?
