Depends if you want to go OEM or not. OEM module is 4E0910563C. On top of this you need a fibre adapter and power lead (you can get these of eBay). You'll also need to change your antenna amp and run a new FAKRA cable from it to the tuner.

Alternatively kufatec sell a product called Fistune. It's a bit more up to date and supports DAB+ but at a slightly higher cost. Still requires a new antenna amp as well. It works on the MMI in the same way as OEM though.

Is there a guide available on how to do this? I would like the OEM upgrade - thanks

Audi can do it for you and it's something like £150 inc VAT. Might just be easier to go there?

I have the setup you aspire to have, I would go with the Kufatec having used their products many a time.

It's relatively easy to do as long as you have VCDS as you need to code the car. Other than that, swap antenna amp, put in line power cable in, in line fibre cable, connect up antenna amp to dab tuner and code the car.

The only other condition is if you have an Avant as you would either need new glass putting in the side winow or use an external antenna. Saloon are a much easier upgrade.

Thanks for the information - I've ordered the dab module.
The wiring and a standalone antenna I'll order as well.

Not sure if any one can help - I installed the 4E0910563C unit and the wiring. I've enabled the digital radio via the CAN gateway and reboot the MMI 2G.
I know see the DAB radio menu - update listing. However, I don't appear to be picking up any signal?

I used this http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/dab-car-stereos/autoleads-dab-film-antenna-smb-dab-aa1

Any suggestions?

I'd be trying an external antenna. Try a glass-mounted one.

Have you got any error codes on VCDS?

Wondering if you need some form of powered antenna as the OEM would be amplified by the glass antenna.

 

[bobby singh]

No VCDS errors
The halfords item is glass mount and does have a power connection so i tried 12v from the cigarette lighter but made no difference.
Im assuming a faulty dab unit would bring up a error in vcds.

I would have thought so...I would be inclined to pick up a glass mount antenna to see if that works.
