Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the device is behind the removal panel on the Passenger side. it has a plastic frame and almost looks like a stack of HDDs in a cage?

 

Thanks.

Ok, im hoping thats good news then. My MMI says its not installed. But i did get a CD with the car (though havent tried it). Am i being naive in thinking i can put the CD in and install the satnav?

Seems a big piece of kit just for sat nav.

if the cd? should be a DVD disk is the maps then ya just pop it in m8 and leave it in mmi will detect you have inserted the disc and fire up

What year is your a6?

Is that in the boot, as neither units look like a dvd player. Pic above 

Ah checking the disc, it says hand book on it. Nevermind 

your dvd unit is missing see mine in the pic

 

Ah OK yes that makes sense. No bother. 

Some versions mmi2g came our without satnav...

What have you got in the glovebox ? Cd changer ?

Yeah a cd changer. Which wont ever be used as i want to some way to use my phone to play music via a bluetooth adapter of some sort.

Your options are 

Retrofit ami + tune2air

Dension500bt ( i have this ) 

Vns media 

Driveen

Fm transmiter 

Can i play music on an app of my choice AND use for phone calls through the Dension500bt? The car did come with a BT phone like gadget that connects to a port in the central arm rest. It works, but i find my phone doesnt auto connect to it and I i cant play music through it. 

Ill do some research into the devices youve listed. Thanks.

So far ive fallen in love with the 2.7 v6 diesel, its smooth and effortless, but im finding it does drink fuel (i know i know i didnt buy it for economy).

A6 c6 is a lovley car 🙂

It certainly is. The engine and car feels so refined, still feels new despite it being 10 years old.

Cheers, sounds ideal. Does it plug directly in using the cable in the glove box?
