also if you swap the ami for the cd - you dont need to drop the glove box. whole thing took me less than 10 minutes

I need an AMI for mine, but they're so flipping expensive :(

Looking forward to hearing how you get on with installing yours A8L Chick. Good luck with it

Well I would order one sooner rather than later-confirmed with Audi today they only have 12 left...once they are gone they are gone +++

Fitting was a piece of ****! Honestly the easiest thing I have done on these A8's by far ;)

I have both the CD player connected & the AMI. No VCDS needed, worked immediately :cool:

As above, I have both fitted...I didn't drop the glovebox either..you don't need to (I don't know why they tell you to???)

Took 10mins from unpacking to listening :rockin:

I will post current part numbers later ;)

Does this mean that brides can plug in their iPoddy now and play soothing calming music before the big event?? :D

I'm guessing you've got the ipod interface.. but there's a couple of others too

I've got the USB connection with a hard drive in there, but you can also get a bluetooth connection to stream from phones too.

Now that would depend on the mood I am in ;)

Yeah its being used for an ipod, I have the USB connection and a hard drive (out of silver one) but I use the ipod in that too :D

Bluetooth parts are a bit too highly priced for my liking. iphone works in the AMI too but I use BB for business, thats always connected to the handsfree via bluetooth anyway +++

I must say I do fancy this AMI unit, I miss having the ipod connected for my sounds!

Would I need the software updating on mine? 2007 car.
Whats the prices for the kit?
+++

Got mine on ebay, if i remember rightly the prices were

AMI unit - 220

Audi 250gb hard disk - 70

Ipod lead and Hdd lead - 15

its well worth doing, the qualitys so good. obviously you dont need the hdd and lead if you want to use your ipod

I cant remember what software you need, mine got upgraded to 5540 or something when i put the Phone system in.

most write ups say you need to do a vagcom coding if you want to leave your cd in as well.

if your MMI is above 3320 (or around that), then you're good to go, but the 5570 upgrade is nice too.

I kept my 6 disk changer and installed AMI next to it (replacing the small compartment cubby hole) and I didn't need to use VCDS. Worked from the off-but I do have latest software version.

My whole setup was £200 from Audi, but I do get a hefty discount. I think it's closer to £300 normally direct from audi.
