Fitting AMI Interface

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.

I agree with Beks, I wouldnt be taking a dremel to the back of the glovebox either. did you move the changer to the cubby side and install the AMI where the changer was?

I had seen reference to several A6 owners doing this but never an 8, I believed the different part numbers were actually to do with software etc not different sizing.
