What TV Tuner options are available for what money ??

or is that now an AMI thing ??

AMI and TV are not related in any way.

TV options? - some places have worked out how to swap the useless Audi analog TV tuner to the digital one.

If you don't already have an OE TV tuner then retrofitting one would be a bug job - you would need to replace some of the glass in the rear to get the TV antennas. So fitting a third party TV tuner is the best option, just make sure you get one that can be controlled from the RNS-E - Kufatec do a package of a TV tuner and an interface.

Cheers,

I thought TV was standard on RS4's
Craig did quote me once years ago for it all but I had forgotten about him
May find out about doing it myself though to save a few quid, although Craig does owe me a favour, might do the AMI and RNS-e swapout and then find out about the tuner swap maybe via Craig so he can code some stuff for me as i dont have a vagina and hence dont wanna be arsed screwing around with something that might end up with god knows what errors !!

lol @ Bams link. 1000 women and only two went for the meat'n'veg in retaliation.

I just measured my girth [fnarr, fnarr! ] and it's 11cm

Thanks for all the info Sync. I'm hoping to get back from Wales and head straight for the Kent meet - I can have a proper 'feel' of the girth then

Hazzy Dayz are certainly technically competent to do this kind of job - no doubt. However, I find them prohibitivley expensive. EG I wanted to swap the face plate on my 2010+ RNS-E as it had a scratch on it. They quoted me£80 + VAT to swap the plate over [that I supplied]. I got the part from some one Petrol Dave knows in Holland for €12 plus delivery and the swap was just a case of removing two screws. Took me about 5 mins to do. So I have been wary of them ever since - problem is it's a niche market. If craigyb has gone back to IT that's a real shame as he was capable of pretty much anything to do with electric accessories in Audi's and was very helpful.

Nope definitely wasn't standard; even sat nav was an option on the saloon and Avant, only standard on the cab.

Oops, missed a load of replies, heyho.

Mods this week, courtesy of NHN:

New TTRS Steering Wheel
SDS
Bluetooth
New DIS control/wiper stalk due to wheel swap
Relocation of Sport Button
Facelift centre dash buttons/cup holder

While he had her apart he found the reason for the potentiometer error logged, snapped lever on of the interior air box control flaps. Did a very nice "bodge" on the lever to get it working again for a good while!

Oooooooo that looks tidy! Very tidy...

[WillRS]

looks very good but seeing that picture you REALLY need to replace your pedal covers - while you are on your modding / improving / upgrading crusade

just be prepared for a massive battle fitting the new ones. they come off easy enough but will the new ones go back on again...

[Ian_C]

The one thing Footers almost certainly doesn't own is a hair drier......

[Mr Footlong]

Thanks, the pedals are doing my head in so will be sorted, I am also miffed that the tax disc holder is off centre but I have to change the disc/plates if I get time on Sunday.

I own a heat gun (man's hairdryer)

Is the Bluetooth OEM Nick?
If so, where did you source a whole kit?

[Mr Footlong]

OEM, sourced and installed by NHN.

Interior is looking sharp mate, is that brushed alloy trim? Nice change from the carbon

Brushed is the alternative to Piano black and carbon OEM - I have it in my silver B7 - looks cool and understated and just gives a touch of brightness to the interior.

[sync24]

Did you not fancy keeping the old RNS-E bezel? It' just that the trim doesn't match the rest of the interior - just my own opinion of course!

[neilparf]

I spotted that - Piano Black bezel, right? Took me a few weeks to find a standard matt black bezel version for mine...
