Cockney Boy Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 At the moment you have MMI Low (Mono Screen) but you also have the CD based Navigation i suspect?. For you to have the larger screen (MMI High) you will also need the DVD based navigation system. Its not justa matter of changing the screen in cluster bezel. hi.got monochrome mmi screen (2006 s line), is it poss to upgrade it (fit bigger, colour screen)? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattq Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 yep, got cd based sat nav. right, whats the average cost of this operation mate? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 It's around £2k normally I have a full system here for £1399 fitted, MMI basic to MMI high with DVD navigation. Is your car a Saloon or Avant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattq Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 its a saloon. who should i speak to then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 So you have a saloon, first you need to check if you have a sound system. Check your sound settings to see if you have a SUB option, usually that means you have an amp in the boot and an upgrade to high is straight forward. Basic comes in 3 forms Basic (no sound system) Basic + ( 10 speaker sound system) Basic + Navigation (CD based Nav / 6 CD changer / 10 speaker sound system) See the link in my signature for my site, I can do the ugrade for you and quote depending on the options you require.

mattq Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 i'm sure i got CD based Nav / 6 CD changer / 10 speaker sound system (DSP) with the fitted subwoofer what would be the cost and how long would it take? what else do u need to know before start quoteing?

Mack04 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 It's around £2k normallyI have a full system here for £1399 fitted, MMI basic to MMI high with DVD navigation. Is your car a Saloon or Avant? Craigy, intrested in your cost there for the upgrade, would the same apply to my 2005 A6 Q with MMI Basic?

craigyb Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Again I would need the spec of your cars MMI and what options you are trying to get to. Do you have a sound system? without a sound system it's too expensive for the rewiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 If that's the new DVD sat nav , it is awesome.. i drove the new A4 allroad with it in, and it gives you the details of the next 3 junctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 No Dave, that would be the 3G nav system, not the 2G system which is being discussed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattq Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) yeah, looks much better, mono is reall crap, actually i'm suprised they fitted mono screen in a6 s line, same story with some version of a4 s line, many of them have fitted cassete player as a main sound device (even cars made in 2006!) yr last pic (control panel), i believe there would be no changes on it...? speak soon Edited January 12, 2010 by mattq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 You may be in for a long wait. Craigyb hasn't logged on in over 5 months and last posted over 3 years ago from what I can see. I don't know if he still does this type of thing but someone else might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Last time I spoke to him was about a year / 18 months ago, I'm pretty sure he had stopped doing retro fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I used these guys to get Bluetooth fitted to an A3 some years back... http://hazzydayz.com They still seem to be operating, though the price of satnav retrofits looks somewhat pricey!!
