Hi

can you connect any smart phone to the ami interface? 

ie:  Samsung Galaxy?

many thanks 

You also asked if I had 2 SD card slots which I do. 

Does this mean I have 3G low? As you mentioned. How can you tell? As someone else said I have MMI 2G!!

vcds?  Is that a diagnostic machine? 

Here’s a pic of what I have at the moment 

yes your absolutely right. 2 sd card slots and 1 SIM card slot even though my phone connects via Bluetooth which I don’t also understand why I have a sim slot? 

No joystick just the big round dial to turn to make selections.

i think it’s MMI 2G 

Hi

i would like to put AUDI MUSIC INTERFACE into my A8. Is it possible to remove my cd changer in the glovebox and replace it with the AMI unit or is there another way? 

I have read there is normally the ami socket in the glovebox or under centre armrest which I have looked but no socket unfortunately.

i thought I would just pick peoples brains first before buying the ami unit or retro fit kit As I am not sure?

thank you 

Hi all

i can’t access the hidden menu in mmi by pushing car/setup buttons. 

I have read I might have to update my software? But can someone tell me if I have an old version by the pic I took? And what version software I need to look for on eBay for example?

sorry not sure what to look for?? Hence asking on you nice people 

Oh ok where can I get that from? And does that connect to the ami? 

I don’t tend to play a lot of cd’s but more playing music from my iPhone hence why I’m thinking of taking out cd to replace with ami unit

Hello

on my mmi set up I have some settings that I have pictures I took below.

my question is. I have bought an AMI unit. If I fit it would it appear in the AV1 or AV2 settings? 

in my glovebox I currently have the 6 cd changer and another unit that has 2 SD card slots & a SIM card slot but if I take out the cd changer can I put the AMI unit in its place??

would appreciate any information 

thank you

I thought this button was for heated windscreen?

if not can a heated windscreen be fitted? 

Hello

on my A8 heater controls there is a button for heated rear window but also for heated windscreen but the screen is not heated.

does anyone know if I replaced the screen for a heated one would the wiring be there to connect to the new screen??

any help would be greatly appreciated 

Hi sorry for such a late reply.

to your question do I have ami in glovebox I don’t but I have got an ami unit to put into the glove box.

i hope that will do what I’m hoping?

Hi all

is there a way to connect an iPhone to my media interface to be able to play from my Spotify account?

my phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth for the built in hands free 

I have an A8 on a 59 plate 

many thanks

Cheers Steve.

no accidents I made sure I did HPi when I purchased the car 👍

Will take note and look into that

thank you.

Hi

does anybody know where I can buy replacement number plate lenses for a a8? 

My ones are cracked. I have 2 both having 2 screws in each.

i have looked on eBay but they all have one screw fixing 

many thanks

Hi all

i have the 3.0 TDI A8 but could someone please tell me how I can find out which one I have from this list attached? Please. Can I find this on my V5 and what is the difference from the 150kw up to the 193kw? Based on the 3.0 TDI?

thank you. Mark.

Thanks for your reply Steve.

now I'm going to sound dumb but what is vagcom? And can I do a reset myself to see if that will fix the problem?

regards

mark

Hi all

i have noticed on my a8 the auto door locking feature when you pull away doesn't always lock the front doors as I especially notice the little red light between the lock/unlock buttons on door is not lit up. Other times the red light is lit up indicating the door is locked.

anyone else experienced this? Please and is there a reason or solution? As I find this feature useful and a good security measure.

many thanks 

Something else I never knew 👍

Lol I'm sure I will be finding things myself where I need an answer as only had the car a couple of weeks. 

by the way I ordered my wipers from the link you sent me so hopefully they will fit and only cost me £25..bargain. 

Thanks again mate 👌

Thanks mate

funny how you don't notice 2 buttons on the door but they are there after checking.

thanks for the pic and your help 👍

Could anyone tell me how you disable the motion sensors on A8 59 plate as my dog sets off the alarm 😙

Thank you

Thanks Paul.

i've been told that the wipers are from main Audi dealer for about £80  only for A8 which I find hard to believe?

have you ever been told this?  And have you used Bosch blades at all? 

Could you also tell me what inch blades I need? Seen some Bosch for around £30 which is a big difference 

many thanks
