A8 tv
Hi, my first post here. Just bought an 09 a8 yesterday and browsing through the media menu I noticed the TV function, the garage said it didn't have the tv option. The tv does work but only has bbc channels available. How can I get all freeview channels, is an update required? Thanks for any help.

Your aerial amplifier maybe broken and require replacement, its quiet a common problem. The amplifier is located in the car, at the top of the back window behind a lot of trim.
Another possible is the rear heater element is damaged as that is used as one of the aerials.

Heater element should be easy, if you get a morning with the car covered in dew. Switch it on and see if the dew clears fully. You should see the lines from the heater element warming up.
There is no way to test the amplifier short of replacement. another member is going through the same thing trying to get DAB working.

If you have VCDS you can check all amplifiers Via Measuring blocks and also do an output test on the module itself, where abouts are you based ?

Yes indeed, Connect VCDS .. Select TV module and have the screen on in the car, and select Output test using VCDS you will see the MMI screen turn black with all the coding on the screen in white ... like entering the Matrix  this will show each individual Amplifier for any of the Cars infotainment, AM FM DAB DVB-T  and signal strength of course Have Fun !! PS yes this could also be the cause of the DAB not working correctly the amplifiers can be bought from A8 Parts and are around £170 tad of a ball ake to change but time consuming more than complicated if you get stuck let me know and if you are not too far away perhaps i could help you
