Hi Andrew

RNS-E wasn't standard on the B7 S4, and quite often when you see it fitted it's not listed on the original build spec and has been retrofitted!

The TV tuner can be replaced - but it's not cheap as you need a unit from a TT or C5 A/S/RS6 - it's basically the same OEM unit as I retrofitted into my old S8 if you want to stay OEM. Shouldn't need different antennas either.I'll look up part numbers once my VM loads....

What he needs to play music is an AMI interface - Sergey has retrofitted one into his A8, but from memory it will only work with a 'mk2' RNS-E with the chrome volume control and less restrictive SD card size limits (i.e. it'll take more than a 4GB card)

With an AMI you could either plug an Audi lightning cable in, or an old 40 pin Apple connector with Apple's own short extension converter lead from 40 pin to Lightning (which is what I do in the S5) or plug in a tunes-2-air dongle which allows music playing over Bluetooth. Not sure if there was an AMI option for the B7, but once my Etka (now the VM has opened!) roles up a shed load of updates I'll see what I can figure out!

I 'think' you can get one of those natty bluetooth modules that plugs into the phone cradle as per the D3, but since you've got bluetooth for calls already this seems a daft option.....
