[M-A8]

So, I think I know most of the answers, but if you could share your valuable knowledge in one thread I will appreciate that very much as I'm trying to make my mind by Monday.

Since my Mrs found out about retrofitting a TV in the car, she really wants it, Me, not so much, but I'm trying to get the cost together.

So, since I won a DAB and necessary harness during the raffle (Annual Meet) I may just do the whole lot and make Mrs happier and have reversing camera as well.

If you know the part numbers that's great (don't worry to much, I can always look later on in ETKA, but I'm just very busy this weekend).

If you know the average cost that's great as well, but I will look into it as well.

Few questions:
Current set up: analogue radio, no TV

1. Media rack. Are there different types of media racks as I've seen Somerandomguy's one and it's different to mine. Well, mine is hardly a media rack as there is just radio tuner (SEE ATTACHED)
Just can't see enough room to accommodate TV tuner and DAB.

2. TV tuner (digital = hybrid yeah?), part number? Would there be a specific PN for my car or just any as long is from an A8 (4Exxxxxxx)

3. Aerials (TV) can you buy them separately?? PN? I am buying aerial amplifier for DAB anyway, so will buy one for use with TV as well not just DAB. Anything else needed for TV apart aerials and other things mentioned below??

4. Reversing camera. I know that isn't fitted on the media rack, just a bit further behind the trim where the cigarette lighter is, more less.
I've got a price already for the camera with a wire and FAKRA connector, module and bracket. Rest of the bits I can take from Del's guide. From memory I will need new boot trim to accommodate camera along the rear plate lights and boot handle. Few wires and terminal connectors? a Harness which connects one end of the camera to the module (see attached picture of what comes with the camera) and a trim which you clip in to boot lid hinge to run a cable from boot lid to the module

5. MOST controller (updated one or with extra inputs or outputs????). I've read somewhere in one of your threads that MOST module will be required. What is it exactly and where do you fit one?? I assume I have one but not suitable for reversing camera and TV. Part number? Any 4E PN or must be a specific one?? Cost??
Is the MOST which needs to have extra video outputs?? Control head rings the bell, is MOST controller a control head??

Anything else I'm not aware of???


Guys, your time and knowledge is already very much appreciated
Sorry for so many questions, but it's a big job so a lot of questions before making a start and it would be nice to have the whole lot under one thread.

THANK YOU
