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.

Godders, did you take the whole glove box out or just drop it down slightly?
I installed the AMI into the cubby next to the CD player and found no fitment fouling. (I dropped the glovebox down and didn't toally remove it)
However, the clips which hold it in place were rather tough, and you have to be completely sure the MOST cables are not kinked etc in any way before committing to the last "push". You do have to be quite positive, the clips are tight. This iirc is probably the last 4ish mm you are asking about.
You'll struggle getting it out again afterwards I think
