DAB Retrofit - Audi A4 B8 2008 with Concert Radio

[jamin128]

Afternoon All, I am looking to fit DAB to my 2008 A4 B8 with concert stereo.

Does anyone know what part numbers I will need, and if the antena is already built into the rear windscreen?

Thanks in advance

If you want to do it the OEM way. Mine is the same as yours I think. It will be £XXXX's, I've had a read up on it before. I'll have a look, two minutes.

No worries, did you find out the cause of the other problem? I've been really busy working away. I'll have a look at your messages as well.

Thought I had as it was better for a while, but it has come back.

I didn't want to nag you as I know your a busy man.

I've just bought the following 8R2035186 A cheap off of ebay because reading another post, I thought that the black glossy units had dab.

Have i made a big mistake ?

This is my one and it doesn't have any DAB, sadly... The part numbers are the same, just the revision is different.

I'll look at how to do it again.

But I know I didn't go through with it as it was stupidly expensive. I'm currently using my iPhone on the iPlayer radio app through the AUX as a temporary fix.

Reception is good here in Bournemouth, wanna swap?

Do you know what part number the radio was?

Do you have a concert radio?

Hate to disappoint again but that is a huge retro-fit. Different control modules as well as the 5F Control Head. It IS possible though

Whish I had MMI

 

[jamin128]

Why so many parts?

 

[jamin128]

Just a thought, but I have AMI in my glovebox.

Does anyone know if the Dension USB DAB would work with it?

Retrofit kit MMI3G navigation plus Audi A4 8K-39685

Have a look at all the wiring which comes with the MMI, also the centre console. This kit doesn't include the audio side of the conversion either, our current amplifiers run a can-bus system which will need changing to a MOST system (fibre optical) which i going to be expensive lol.

I don't think that will work, BUT I'm quite excited because I've found this! This is the version >> Product: CTDAB-AU4 @ AUDI AutoDAB - Aftermarket DAB Radio | Advanced In-Car Technologies

I rang the stealer ship today for a quote to retrofit and they said around £330 which I reckon is cheap enough if anyone is still interested.
