I have been reading up and getting guidance on what I can do about the Concert I have fitted in my 2010 A5 coupe. It is FM/CD/SD card only - no DAB, no AMI.

I see that there are a number of models of Concert floating around with identical appearances e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252094675238?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...N-Autoradio-/271975589996?hash=item3f5302286c

The first one is on part number 8T2035186Q and I have seen the same number with B and H at the end. I have also seen some very different numbers on vehicles 2014 or so.

I would like to get DAB into my installation. The Q model above says that is has DAB but I can't work out whether that requires an external module or is built in to the Q model. Is there any guidance or a specification list of the different models of these Concerts ? If I slot one out, will any one slot back in (I know that I will need to code it) ? Does anyone have experience of fitting a Concert with DAB as a replacement and can I use a front windscreen mounted DAB aerial instead of trying run a cable to the back window ?

If anyone knows of any resources I can read, or spec sheets, I would be most grateful. I would also like to find some guidance on the fitting of these if anyone knows a source.

I've had some great advice already on this forum so thank you in advance for any help you can give
 
Hi garfybeds. im not totally sure on specs on the A5 but just thought I would tell you about something I have just fitted at work in a customers 2010/2011 A5 due to his having a fault and costly to repair/change. Its the new Alpine product that does everything and looks awesome. he also went for optional sound upgrade and the reverse camera kit.

unfortunately yes. but it does give you DAB / full ipod / USB / Android / Full europan navigation with built in TMC traffic avoidance and improved sound quality
