Mitchet Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Does anyone know the part number of the AMI adapter cable which comes from the AMI unit to a 3.5mm jack... and perhaps more to the point, would it work with the MMI 2G (Audi A8 2005 with MMI version 5570)?

craigyb Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Why don't you just ring the parts dept and ask for one or do a quick ebay search for one. Like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-Music-Interface-AMI-MMI-3-5mm-Jack-Aux-IN-MP3-Cable-A3-A4-A5-A6-A8-Q5-/290644252284?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item43abbf567c Edited April 10, 2012 by craigyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi Craig, You know what... the idea to use a search engine never entered my head, or ebay in fact. It's a wonder how I have managed to work in an IT architect role for over 10 years eh? Anyway, (as I'm sure you are more than aware), information from Audi dealers on AMI hardware can't be trusted to be correct. Given the ebay advert that you kindly posted (and of course I've never seen before because I didn't think to search myself), states... "Designed to fit 2009 and up A4 or S4 with AMI (Audi Music Interface) A3 A4 A5 A6 A6 A8 TT Q5 Q7 R8 Compatible with Audi MMI 3rd Generation" ...my main question was whether this cable will work with a 2005 MMI 2G system, or is the advert incorrect? Thanks for you unique wisdom Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 That's the trouble with working in IT. You get kids with only ten years experience thinking they know it all... (I know Craig will appreciate that, given what he also does for a living. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 As suspected - Boston Audi don't have any information on whether that cable would work on a 2005 model, or whether it's for MMI 2G or 3G or both. They have however, kindly offered to get one in for me to try before buying. Oh - and my 3 year old daughter just dropped me a text after seeing this thread, suggesting I try using a site called Google? She's pretty good with Audi retrofitting too. She managed to install my AMI system at only 2 years old... it's obviously child's play ...and I've been in IT overall for about 22 years (only architect for the last 10). Totally agree with the comments about kids who think they know it all, though I haven't seen many who are Cisco CCIE certified. I will of course update this thread next week when I'm in a position to verify whether the cable works or not (just for the benefit of those who can be bothered to use search facilities).

craigyb Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 It seems there are two leads for 3.5mm jack, the 4F0 051 510 F and T leads, I'm guessing F is for early AMI (2G) and T is for 3G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thank you Craig. Hopefully all will be well on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Picked up the cable today and works fine with AMI on MMI 2G (Ver 5570). Part No.: 4F0 051 510 F (£27 inc VAT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
