Fitting AMI Interface
You will require an AMI interface out of an A4/A6/A8 - Check part number first, most start with 4E0 which is perfect.
You will need: 4D0 051 530 - Release Tools to remove CD Changer (Approx £5) 4F0 051 510 K - iPod Cable to fit AMI (Approx £20) 4F0 051 592 A - Wiring Harness for Power and Retrofit Kit - (Approx £30) You will not need the last one if you simply replace the CD changer. I wanted both  So that is the official audi dealer retrofit kit number. Release tools make it easy.Basically drop glovebox, remove the CD Changer first, then fit the wiring harness to split the MOST bus and power for the AMI most, and fit both. You will require the latest MMI software installed. Let me know if you need a copy. If the AMI is new it will require coding, if not it should work immediately  Done

This sounds all too easy
Can anyone explain what the hell MOST stands for  And, I am retrofitting this into the black D3 tomorrow hopefully, please can someone show me how the "MOST" connection should be to enable both CD & AMI to work instead of loosing the CD changer. Unless this is simply plug and play of course? I get the impression I need to connect wires to wires though??? Just a bit of info on the AMI units for the A8... there are only 12 left in stock at Audi HQ, when they are sold they are not making anymore... so if anyone wants to retrofit this into their car they need to do it now

MOST stands for something like Media Oriented System Transport. It's a fibre-loop that goes round the car components.
Thankfully, you don't have to splice any fibres, but you do need to take at least one of the connectors apart behind the CD changer. Seriously, if you are happy to just put all your CDs on the AMI as MP3 on a hard drive, or iPod then it's a bazillion times easier to fit. The loom should come with all the instructions on which connectors to take apart and stuff.
