I'd ask them directly as the description says it does then kind of contradicts itself later in description.

I did ig you look at the mail correspondance i quoted in a post on page two here :/

I read your reply from them but they are a business and of course they will want to sell you the most expensive product they have.

But as I said earlier the description says it works in the dab menu.

The FISTUNE® fully integrates into the vehicle and allows you to access all functions through the MMI (MMI 3G / 3G+)
Control is given through the original DAB interface of the MMI
DAB text support
DAB and DAB+ codec i.e. older DAB stations are received
Usage of original cars antenna system
This results in best reception quality
As well as easy installation

There is mention of using a different item if you have dab already but my question to them would be if you remove your old dab can it then be replaced with the fistune and work properly.

I remember years ago, a man in Eastern Europe who was replacing a chip in the original DAB tuner for a DAB+ capable chip (same pinouts) - will see if I can find it.

I see what you mean there, but the problem is that since the old dab is integrated in the radio unit i can't remove just the DAB part of it :/


Interesting, or else it would be interesting to get hold of the part number of the expencive one Kaufatec sell since they more or less answered me yes that it's a OEM VW part:

Thank you for your request.

We have never had problems here. The audi dealer must only remove the component protection.

Just checked with my existing unit and like you said snapdragon it's a "4E0035061D".

And the connections look just like the ones as on a "4G0035061J" so.

I'm on the case already and I've just sent you a PM with update +++

Let's hope the 4G0035061J work :ROFL:

Long time no see, haha..

Well, 4G0035061J installed and component protection removed. But that didn't work(as anticipated). So the next step now is to update the MMI, witch brings the question, does anyone here know where i can obtain an update CD without paying and eye and a leg for it?

Edit: Just came to think of, what's the "name" for my MMI? Is it 3G High since i have the little joystick on top of the selection knob?

Your car is a 09/10 A8? That came with the 3G MMI. I THINK the only way to update the MMI is through the dealer (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I did that a last month and paid 1.500NOK for the update. They did have som trouble accepting the update so the car was at the dealer for almost 2 days while day where figuring it out. :ROFL:

So glad i asked for a fixed price ;)
