I have a 2008 A6 that has nav, Bose, and the 6 disk changer. My question is: how easy is it to install the AMI, and can I just do a direct swap with the changer in the glove box. Also, where the hell can I get the AMI unit without paying Audi the ridiculous price they are certain to charge me? Ive looked on Ebay and there really isn't anything on there except cables.

 

SlickMachine,

Email bdbrouse@hotmail.com. He has a number of kits available. I'm pasting what he sent me in an email to give you an idea. "I do have AMI (iPhone/iPod) units with the total package out the door for $620. They are brand new and have instructions, wiring, cables, USB cables, MMI updates, and provide phone and email support so you can complete the job. I also have OEM Bluetooth packages in case you don't have that in your A6 and are in need of that." Hope that helps.

 

Thx a lot.

If you haven't bought your unit yet I found a new retrofit unit at a very low price on eBay it's coming from the UK. It's the full kit everything you need.
Converted Euro to Dollars it's about $346 US dollar that includes shipping. One hell of a price. AMI Unit part #'s that are compatible with 08 A6 C6 are as: 4E0035785B, 4E0035785F and 4E0057785F.
