External AV 1,2

[za3boora]

I have a A8 2005 and I can see in the source section of tv/cd that I can video come in on external AV 1 and 2 and in the manual there is some talka bout some cable I can get off Audi but they don’t say or show where I connect this cable. And when I went to the dealers they had no idea what I was talking about can anyone help?

well if the dealer did not know what you were talking abuot , i should think with a 2005 A8 they should find out for you ! get on the phone and tell them waht you wnat, that you will order if from them and let them do the hard work

The dealers seem to be very poor on this kind of thing. You want a cable from Dietz, most likely a 1216 for a current A8 model.

These guys are importing Dietz stuff, but they certainly know how to charge for it. I don't see the 1216 listed, but I doubt they'd struggle too hard to order you one (for a cost!).

Of course, if you are handy with a soldering iron, and a few quid's worth of bits from Maplins, you could make your own up and just 'borrow' Dietz's install instructions. I really would love to suggest you buy the part and repay Dietz's R&D work, but by the time some importer has made their healthy margin, you could be looking at £60 for £5 worth of parts...

thanks Chris_B for these links the Dietz link even has a pdf on how to install it . I'll take a look at my car when i have the time and see if i can do it. As you said it looks like all i have to do is soldering 5 wires for 1 av in put and 10 for 2.
