Thank man! I just try and document everything for the next guy doing the same thing, glad I can help where I can.

Werd. Love the progress!

[The Infiltrator]

Great thread! Thanks for putting in links of the items and instructions.

Thank you. I just thought it would be helpful since trying to find the same parts is a pain in the ass sometimes without info.

Werd. Love the progress!

Thanks man! Going from the Symphony System with Bluetooth to 3G Nav is the next upgrade and buying/finding parts now.

Scroll down you'll find your answer with the completed setup.

[crash1121]

Dude, you're awesome for providing all of the links and part numbers! Can't wait to see the rest of your car's transformation!

[bermudakid]

Are you doing the newest version the one with google maps? or the one that would've come in our car?

[The Infiltrator]

These are all parts for 3G and I got the part numbers from the links above. I didn't want Audi Connect.

[The Infiltrator]

Time to clean the tips up after 5 years of abuse. I just used a micro fiber cloth but next time I'll be using a polisher that attaches to a drill.

This stuff is awesome!

It did all lights in the cabin besides the floor lights since they are LED's already and I did the trunk also. I have to extra left from ordering a pack of each bulbs from the links.

Lol, thanks man! It's nice to have the best of both worlds. I love running crap over. lol

Bang & Olufsen = 9VK
Audi Symphony System (Active sound, with amp in trunk) = 9VD
Audi System (Passive sound, without amp in trunk, center speaker and subwoofer) = 8RX

The speaker wires that go to the amp are the only wires you will need to pin and the colors are in German on the instruction papers. Here is a simplified version. The White/Red Power and Brown Ground are the only pins that can be reused and the others will have to be cut and repinned. If you take a bobby pin and cut the little round ends off and stick both ends into the slots around the connector block on the female side they will pop out separately.

Component Protection Removal At The Dealer: Paid: $130 (Get the radio serial number and the VIN of the car it came from, bring that to the dealer. Minor VCDS coding will be needed like enabling the radio's internal amplifier and depending on how the MMI unit was coded to begin with and that should be it)

Activating Radio Amp:
You probably won't have sound and the Audi tech will probably say there is an issue somewhere and he can't take the protection off. All you have to do, change the 8th digit in the long coding with VCDS under Radio and it's good to go. For example, I have radio model 4G0 035 082 G radio unit, changing it from the default 020007010000000001 to 020007020000000001. This removed the dedicated amp coding from your old setup to the new setup.

Sorry to dredge this up, but any chance you can help me understand what “E male to Jack female” means? There is a place that makes the. So I don’t have to get one from China (not that I’m above that, I just want it sooner). I’ll get the link and share it.

Thanks Marko- maybe I'm being thick here. So it's an extension it needs to be E male and E female.

The website I had found only differentiated by "plug" and "jack" and I wasn't sure if that was the same thing.

Jack*commonly refers to a connector often with the female electrical contact or socket, and is the "more fixed" connector of a connector pair.*Plug*commonly refers to a movable connector, often (but not always) with the male electrical contact or pin, and is the movable (less fixed) connector of a connector pair.

Hey Marko, need your assistance again. I'm finally doing this conversion and am right in the middle of it. I'm trying to connect my OEM GPS antenna to the new MMI. I ended up with a Fakra female to female C but the connections in the car and on the MMI appear to be D. Everything I can find looks to be H, which is the opposite of D. The Cables in the car are purple.

Am I going nuts or do I really need Fakra D connectors? Even if I just buy a gps antenna it looks like I need a D. Some pictures:

This is the extension I got.

Well it looks like you'll need that D extension to hook your old antenna back up. Have you researched the forms on people who had GPS but are upgrading? I'm sure they have pictures showing the same as you.

I actually bought a GPS from kufatec and mounted it on the bottom of the dash behind the glovebox. Sorry I cant be more help. The good thing about the fakra connectors is that they are colour coded which should make it easy to identify which one to use.

Why not just put all these $$$ into a down payment on that S4? Looks like you really do want an S4 so just go for it, don't have to settle for less...

Well, I've put way to much work into this car over the years to get rid of it so I just went ahead and bought the stuff to do the 3G upgrade. So far this car has never given me an issue in the 5 years of driving the crap out of it. I will take donations for paying the upfront taxes/registration, yearly taxes and insurance for it though. But honestly I sat down and looked into S4's and RS4's again last night and I think I will keep this car as a daily driver and get a 2008 RS4 and make that into my track car. I've been looking into S4's and RS4's for years and I'm 99% sure this is what I want to do now.

If you have AUX, you have a 3.5mm headphone jack in the armrest. If you have an iphone connector in the glove box, you have AMI.



This cable is needed since the satellite connector is originally connected to the symphony radio. The new radio relocated in the tunk needs the connection again so here is the cable. The green connector on the back of the new 3G MMI cd player is for the backup camera. The cable says TV but it will work for the Sat so don't worry.

Here is the backup camera link if that is something you want to do.

Yea, luckily I had radio removal keys from my b6 the AMI unit came out easy but my screw driver was too long to get the top 8mm bolts out so I had to use a ratchet

Yeah I also had to use a ratchet so it took a little bit. I just hope installing it is just as easy as it was taking off.
