Over the weekend I finally got the TV installed and working on the car, but took an extra couple of day as I was waiting on dual fakra connectors from kufatec....
So the main components are 1x Digital TV tuner, 2x Aerial modules, fakra cable between the Audi Multimedia module and the TV tuner, and 3x fakra cables between the TV Tuner and 2 Aerial modules, left hand side behind luggage trim, and in the left hand side of the tailgate. Not sure why but Audi dropped the right hand side aerial AMP in the tailgate on MMI 3G.
First was to fit the TV Tuner, its held in place by 4 small screws (N 107 105 01) they were only 13p each so not a big cost on the grand scheme of things
Once fitted I cut off one of the plugs of the existing wiring harness and fitted the TV plug, there are only 3 cables (+, - and Diagnostic) so an easy job. Part number of the plug is 8E0 972 420 C, as this point I also made change to the MOST cables and connect it to the MOST bus. and then connected power to the unit and then made sure it was seen by the MMI.
Once I knew the tuner was working fine I started to run in the new fakra cable between the TV and the Audi Multimedia module. First was to remove the passenger side side bolster, you do this by removing the base of the passenger seat.
Next is to remove the side bolster, you do this by removing the striker pin using a 17MM socket
Then remover the lower bolt with an 8mm socket, at this point you will be able to slide the bolster out.
There is then enough room to run the cable behind the trim panel, the cable can then be run under the passanger side sill trim and into the glovebox area.
Fakra connectors where then put on both ends and connected up, if you don't what to make your own then you can by ready made cables from Kufatec, or if you want to make your own then you can buy all the parts from co-star
The first of the aerial amps was then fitted, this again can be done without removing the side trim, and the amp is held in place with 2 screws
At this point you need to run the aerial wiring harness, you can either make your own or by the ready made one from kufatec

You then need to remove the upper roof trim panel and pull down the passenger side D trim panel which is all in my write-up on the electric tailgate installation and can be found here

You need to remove both lower and upper tailgate trims, which is in the same link as above, just make sure when removing the lower trim panel you remove all 6 screws as there a 2 screws behind the warning triangle panel. The old AMP is removed and new one connected no soldering required.
Once the cables have been run, it's just the case of connecting the fakra connectors on both ends. The single connector I got from co-star and the double are from Kufatec.
Final cables are run to the AMP behind the left hand side boot trim.
Next is to code the car for TV and clear any fault codes.
The only module you need to code is the can-gateway, going into the long code helper and enable TV, once done clear any faults codes. Next is to go into the 5F module and clear the "03276 - Please Check Software Version Management" to do this follow this write-up
AudiEnthusiasts Please Check Software Version Management
Next is to confirm you are receiving signal from all of the TV aerials, to do this go into the media menu and select TV, then using VCDS select the TV module. At this point the MMI screen will change to diagnostic screen and you will be able to see the status of all the aerial modules and aerial 1,2 and 3 should read OK. you should also clear any fault codes on the module.
Once this is complete the job is done and you should be able to enjoy TV in your motor....
