Iainwil Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi all, Been busy reading and inwardly digesting the masses of content on here for a while now, thanks. I recently became the owner of a nice S4 cab, and have a few questions i would love to run past some of the very experienced and knowledgable people here, if you would be so kind. 1. The car has the DVD nav fitted, but i'm getting errors on reading the disk, the chap i got the car from has the disk copied, so its not the original. Every now and again the unit just won't see the disk, it says 'incorrectly inserted' or 'the DVD drive is not working, see the dealer'. Does anyone know anyting about this? 2. Again with the SatNav, is there any way i can tell if it has the TV tuner? 3. And again with the SatNav, is there anyway i can hook up my phone to it, there is an option there, but i can't seem to find out if the car has the bluetooth option or not. At the moment i think thats all the queries i have, the V8 growl is enough to keep me smiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Press the CD/TV button and then the Source button - if TV appears as an option then either you have a TV tuner or a previous ownder has fitted an AV interface. To tell which, select TV...

[/ QUOTE ] Turn the ignition on and setup your phone to search for Bluetooth devices - if your car has Bluetooth then your phone will find something like "Audi UHVnnnn".

Iainwil Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi PetrolDave thanks for the info. I was thinking that the copy DVD would be the problem, i do have the original DVD but its of an earlier version and when i put that in it tells me its out of date. Figures, is there a way to down grade the SatNav version? I've pressed all the buttons the manual tells me to for the TV, but i don't get the option, is there a lead or part required to get this to work? Again the same with the phone and bluetooth, i can't see anything, does anyone know what/if i can get the bluetooth part to add and get this working? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 If you want TV and/or bluetooth they can be retrofitted but it's not a £10 job. It sounds like your car has neither. It is possible to downgrade the nav software version to use the older disc but you need to use a computer tool and correct cable (VAG-COM) to do so.

Iainwil Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Cool thanks for the info. The Bluetooth is the most important, is there someone on the forum who can help with this/know the part i require? As for the SatNav i have VagCom and used it on my TT before, are there some instruction on how to use this and downgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've run copied DVD in all of my Audi's and have never had a problem with them. It sound like your unit is a good few year old if your original disk won't read, due to firmware being to new. This could be in indication that the lens needs cleaning or the DVD drive mechanism need replacing. There are a few people on this forum that can retrofit Bluetooth, but it all depends where you are based. You can retrofit it yourself, you will need a wiring harness Bluetooth module, Audi microphone and a Bluetooth antenna. You can buy the kit from Kufatec, for just over £400. or the installers on here will do the job for £400. I would not bother down grading the software, as if you disk is too out of date the retrofit telephone module won't work correctly. You can buy 2007 nav disks from ebay for around £50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iainwil Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm hoping the lens is just dirty too, i've got on order a lens cleaner disk! The original DVD reads, it just says its out of date, the drive playes CD's and MP3 cd's OK, just the nav disk. I have copied the original disk myself onto a new dual layer, but i still get the error! I'm happy to fit the bluetooth kit myself, i'm fairly happy with install work, have done a few headunit/amp/tv etc kit myself. Does anyone know the bits i'll need? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info....bluetooth-.html works out about £430 after you add shipping and exchange rate. Also what version of vag-com do you have? If it's the cheap ebay version then you won't be able to code the bluetooth module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iainwil Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 the version of Vag-com i have is a full version, v409-1. But i'm no Vag expert, only used it to play about with. What/who is the installer on here, this might be a better option as the coding sound like it could be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 v409-1 will not code the Bluetooth module, you will need a full current version with a genuine ross tech lead and costs about £200 new. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/download/current.html If you want it installing, then there are three people I know, CraigyB (Manchester) Shark90 (worksop) and TDiAvant ME (Darlington). It's not a hard installation, but you will need the correct version of vag-com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iainwil Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks for the info, looks like its better value for me to get it fitted, £400 for the kit, then £200 for the new version of Vag-com. OR just £400 all in. Thanks, i'll have to find someone down south, West Sussex area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
