OK so MMI updated, AMI fitted and I've worked out how to get an external disk drive working with the AMI (much cheaper than an iPod)

I'm in the process of doing write ups, including one on managing mp3 tags and creating playlists but can somebody help me on how to post large pdf files ?

It's easier to create them in this format than post pics and text but the upload function restricts the filesize to 19.5K, the MMI doc is 478K, so not large by any means.

Also for those who have fitted the MMI to the cubby by the side of the CD player did you find the aperture wasn't deep enough for the unit (approx 4mm too short), if so what if anything did you do to make it fit (I feel the Dremel is itching to come out of its box) ?

I believe to make it fit in the A6 the back of the glovebox has to be cut out (friend had one professionally fitted recently and that is what was done).

I'd rather not resort to this kind of thing, plus the 8 has a mounting screw for the glove box behind where the cubby lies.

There is, as far as I can establish, only one part number for the AMI so I think the cubby housing, on the AMI, is standard and there isn't a shorter one. The aperture for the AMI in the glove box is deeper on the left to the right on a RHD car. I'm just wondering if the AMI was designed for a LHD car so the deeper part of the aperture would be in the correct place for the AMI cubby as the glovebox would be a mirror image of our cars - hope this makes sense.
