AMI bits wanted for D3 S8
 

i have 2 6 stack cd players , i want to install AMI what do i need and how do i do it ??

thanks in advance

you need to swap one of the 6 stacks for the AMI unit, unplug one, plug in the new one and its done, should be no need to recode

wow !
 

great stuff any idea what i have to buy ?

oh sorry looks like you needed more - you need the AMI unit and the small lead that connects the unit to whatever method you want to use to play songs
you will not need any bridge adapters as you already have 2 cds


choices for the lead are
IPOD - that gives you the usual functionality through the MMI
Mini USB - lets you connect a harddisk, also works through the mmi
Std USB - also as above
standard little connector (like headphone jack) plug in any device using the headphone socket - but no mmi control

i went for the 250gb harddisk (you will find some audi ones on ebay) however 250gb of music is insane, i would probably have been fine with a 32gb pen drive
i also have the ipod adapter but only used it once


thats all you need really
there are loads of threads giving the part numbers on the forum.

is it this part number anybody

8p0 035 785

will check that one

in the meantime check these

http://www.audi-resource.com/amiinstall.php

thats usefull but which bits of that list do i need ?

ive got the cable and the hard-drive

if you have the cable (its not a normal usb cable) then just this bit

Audi AMI Interface (4E0 057 785F) Alt (8T0 035 785 A)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1908797815...84.m1438.l2649

the part numbers on this are very similar will this be ok ?
this item part number is 8T0 057 785
you say this number (4E0 057 785F) Alt (8T0 035 785 A)
do the 4EO and 8TO make any difference ?

no , it looks the same but that ones not for you

That's the CAN-Bus version for 'lesser' Audis.. You need the 'MOST' version

A 5 minute job to swap.. and you may be better swapping it with the left hand side CD changer just in case you have the short glovebox.

this one is the right part number
 

still says Can in the add will this be ok ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123

will have to check that serial number.
the add says for audi without mmi

so no not that one either

heres another with the numbers not same as Audi-resource
im confused hes says this was in his 2006 S8

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-Music...item3a841bc1f8

The number above matches what's posted on the previous page and it says MOST on the label so I'd say that's a goer :)

yes thats a good one for the a8

Will this one be ok ?????

he says its Genuine RNS-E and is a CAN supported AMI

bought this one above
 

unplugged a cd player , plugged in the AMI , doesnt show on the MMI screen
so doesnt work

any ideas ???

tried it in my mates A8 with AMI and it works in his car ok so its not faulty
:(

what version is your MMI software at

^^ What he said.. It needs something like 33.6.0 or thereabouts for AMI.
