Fitting AMI Interface

Ooh.. you're only on 3450.. You may want to look at the 5570 upgrade. AMI should work OK on that version though.

Yep! I need to do something as at the moment the bluetooth works fine for making/taking calls, but I have no phone book access for my Android (Gingerbread). Ans I live in hope of being able to stream my music from the phone too Yes I know, we all want the world.

f you're up for it I will donate to the charity of your choice

Not sure-but I know there is a recall on alot of D3's for the telephone. Mine is an 07 A8, pretty sure there are no differences between the modules on the A/S8's? If your recall hasn't been done (which can take a few hours btw) might be worth getting her down there. (I had it done-but I think it's just a part of the above upgrades and I already had the 2010 version) I may be wrong though..? Worth an ask

PM me your VIN number to make sure I get the right parts for you hun. I will let you know price/availability of Audi (when I bought mine they only had 12 left & they are no longer making them/discontinued)

I have priced up the bits you need with Audi-and I can get them for £245 including VAT (petty sure thats the right price-I am within a £10 threshold...but I know it's less than £250-I have a brain like a sive)

Let me know what you want to do Only extra you'll have to sort out is potage from me to you

Gents,

A question from an uninitiated simpleton: Will this set-up work on a 2005 (facelift) A8?

Many thanks.

I've ordered my parts to do the retrofit through TPS after getting the part numbers from my friendly dealer :

The AMI kit is : 4E0 057 785 F - N/Stk A4E0 057 785 D
The cable kit is : 4F0 051 592 A - N/Stk AMICABLESET

The dealer total for this lot is £231.00 including the dreaded, they quoted £399 including fitting and any necessary MMI update. There is a small discount through TPS (down to £212). The guy in the dealer told me the prices have tumbled for these recently. TPS told me there was 'plenty of central stock' when he checked availability.

My MMI is on an old version 2120 so I have also ordered the update CDs (Part # - 4L0 998 961). They are listed as a repair kit on ETKA and have a list price of just over £5. There is somebody on eBay punting these out for over £20 including PnP !

Is there any interest in me doing a write up on the update / install ?, if so I'll knock one together.

Hi Godders
I'd be interested in how you do this as I would like to add the AMI so if you can take a few pictures and add some notes ...much appreciated.

Forgive me being thick but who/what are TPS mate?
Also I have seen a few of the AMI parts listed on fleabay etc. and the final number appears to be different on a few does this make a difference as the unit looks the same and is listed as suitable for the D3 A8?

Cheers
