DAB Retrofit - Audi A4 B8 2008 with Concert Radio

[jamin128]

Afternoon All, I am looking to fit DAB to my 2008 A4 B8 with concert stereo.

Does anyone know what part numbers I will need, and if the antena is already built into the rear windscreen?

Thanks in advance :-)

Regards
Ben

I'm pretty sure the pre 2012 Concerts didn't come with DAB - Advice on DAB installation

Hi Chris,

I looked there but that's for cars with MMI isn't it? I have a basic concert stereo.
I get confused with 2G 3G MMI etc!!!

After seeing your post/picture, I too a punt and purchase a glossy black concert radio from a 2012 A4!!!

Hope i've bought the right one 8R2035186 A

There should be a black connector above the connector from the display if it has DAB. DAB was an £295 option from 2009. Read somewhere it might be standard now.

Sorry, where should the black connector be?

Like this.

Just a thought, but I have AMI in my glovebox.

Does anyone know if the Dension USB DAB would work with it?

Dension DAB+U will work with the AMI system... At least it works fine in my A7, and according to Dension it will work on all AMI-versions.

Referring to the black connector identified by Stonner in this thread, does that connect to the DAB unit, or is the A integrated into the head unit?
In other words, if I buy a head unit with that connector, do also need a separate DAB unit?

DAB is indeed now a standard B8 fitment.
