Hi Guys, just to give a bit of feedback, I now have a Fistune DAB unit piggybacked onto my MMI unit, using a 3rd party antenna, and it's awesome, works exactly like the factory unit and all done for £350....

Thanks Si! That's really helpful, and I'll check it out... In the meantime I've fitted a Fistune DAB unit with 3rd party antenna, and it's awesome! Works exactly as the factory unit so no more having to endure FM radio!! Cheers, Paul

Thanks for your thoughts, but we're assuming here that my original aerial is giving me my current FM problems, the VCDS said it was fine... I need a separate aerial for the DAB, but not sure how a combined one would connect into the 3G MMI system....

Thanks for your thoughts, I did think similar and got an ICE specialist to look at it, he checked it out with VCDS and said there didn't appear to be any faults, but didn't have a clue what the cause could be.... I want to put DAB in my car, and was going to use a DABmotion which relies on a...

Hi Guys, does anyone have experience of radio interference once the ignition is switched on? I have a 2010 A4 Avant with 3G MMI & B&O... All the media works great but I can't even pick up Radio 2 let alone anything else! Any thoughts would be really appreciated, thanks in advance.... Cheers, Paul

Hi, I have a 2010 A4 with B&O, nav and an iPod connection in the glovebox. I currently have a 3rd generation touch connected up, which plays great, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that I can have more control of the iPod and even get artwork on the screen and access to more of the iPod's menus...

Thanks John! Will take a look..

Hi Guys, sorry if this has been covered before, have just bought a 2010 A4 with B & O, and MMI plus, but has no DAB.. I miss my Planet Rock, but don't know how to go about retro fitting DAB.. Have seen the DABin motion on *bay and wondered if anyone has tried this, or maybe has a better...

Hi Phil, I've seen your profile and notice that you are just up the road from me, I'm in Foxholes... Not sure if this is a PM or not, so apologies if it isn't! I just wondered if you're able to help me with a few subtle changes to my 2010 A4 tdi Quattro? I feel a bit cheeky asking, and of course...

Thanks Karl, have had a look at your build too, very impressive, nice and subtle...

Hi Guys, well I've finally done it and got myself an A4 3.0tdi Quattro tiptronic... I would now like to get it re-mapped, EGR by-pass and DPF delete, please can anyone recommend a decent company to do this properly, through software and not just chopping sensors off! Apologies if that sounds a...

Thanks for your reply, kinda what I thought, the seller was trying to tell me that it was easy to convert the standard set up to Bose or Bang and Olufsen, he'd seen loads done!!! Not on this planet... Will search further and find a better spec' car, thanks again! Regards, Blackwood

Hi Guys, sorry if this has been covered before, but I'm looking to buy a 2010 A6 Avant Special Edition with standard factory set up, non- Bose... Is it possible to improve the sound without going too mad and pulling everything apart and replacing? I was thinking of maybe an under seat sub, or...

That's a great help, thank you! I will be using a specialist independent for servicing, long story but will never use a main dealer, I have always believed in regular oil and filter changes, and thorough servicing using quality parts, am guessing these cars are pretty reliable if looked after...
