Audi did say they were going to do a retrofit....

...but every time I ask at the dealers I never get a straight answer.

They did say this would be possible prior to the 8V launch. However, it now appears that the MMI comes in different variants, some with DAB, some without. Currently, to upgrade to DAB requires complete replacement of the MMI unit, at a cost of thousands.
I guess they might bring out some plugin unit, but I'm not sure how well this would integrate Into the MMI, and if it's an official Audi accessory you can bet it'd still be hundreds.
Here's hoping a third party comes up with an alternative and cheaper solution.
But hadn't DAB always been available on the 8V though?
sure is, especially when the MMI navigation plus is standard in our S3s, then again here they also charge the same price for the manual and the s-tronic (give or take a $100)That sucks, Connect more so then DAB
What's the base price?sure is, especially when the MMI navigation plus is standard in our S3s, then again here they also charge the same price for the manual and the s-tronic (give or take a $100)
All of our car prices are wow, if you want a M135 or a A45 you are looking at another $15,000 extra, and an R with leather & DSG is about $6,000 cheaper.Wow that's just under £44k in British sterling
I thought the DAB system we have in the 8V was also DAB+ compatible
Welcome to the world of the aussie car market. Here VW market themselves as a prestige brand and charge accordingly and brands like BMW, Mercedes, Porsche etc charge substantially extra for their models than they do in the UK.That's nuts, how do they justify it? Wonder if it's a similar story in the states.
