That's an interesting MMI screen view of an A8 Bose Amp. I've never seen that version of the amp before in any scans or logs from a D3 A8!

All the Bose scans I've ever seen are for HW Part 4E0 035 223A, the latest software for which is 0460 dated 18/07/2005. These are identified by the MMI update CDs as [DSP].

Your HW is 4E0 035 223G H02, with firmware 120 dated 14/12/2006. Accordingly, this implies you have an amp identified by the MMI update CDs as a [DSP_D3K].

From an earlier post I can see you have MMI 5150; the 5570 CD [aka CD3] doesn't have an update for the [DSP_D3K] amp so it shouldn't go in to CP if you run it.

The 5570 level updates that might apply to you are:

1) MMI [5510 -> 5570]
2) AM-FM radio [but not DAB] [620 -> 630]
3) HybridTV [119 -> 128]

Neither good nor bad And your screen scan has explained a long time mystery

From various bits of info and your screen scan, I've now worked out that there were two different 2G MMI Bose amps in A8s. One was installed from 2002 until 2005 and a different one from 2006 until 2008 when the 3G MMI cars were built. You have one of the 2006-2008 amps. It would seem that Bose in the 2006-2008 cars was rare as that was when the B&O amp became available.

I believe only 2002-2005 Bose amps sometimes went into CP!

Your phone scan shows you have the original 'SIM in the arm' phone. Your firmware version 0770 is the latest and won't change at 5570. You also don't need to run CD2, the Bluetooth update CD.

If you run CD3 it will only take 10-15 mins.
