peter Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi finally about to commit to a 12 month old A8. On my old S8 i dissconnected the Gala wire and stopped the TV cutting out when the car moved (naughty i know) simple but very effective. Anyone know what is required to achieve the same on the new A8? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rilot Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 There is a long discussion on this in another thread. There is currently 2 ways to do this: 1: Buy a dongle that reprograms the TV tuner (€1700) or find someone who has one. 2: Modify the TV tuner internally. Currently the only way to do this is send the device away to germany. However there is a company called Nav-TV UK who will be offering this service. My A8 is being used by them to beta test the modification and if all goes well I would expect them to start offering the product soon. I will post with the results when they have done the modifications (13th February) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiMuppet Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi gents, Tv on move without cutting into loom available soon as Rilot says from Nav TV. This system will be great because the existing mods involve cutting into the fibre optics... which imediately invalidates any warranty on the whole electrical system. This one doesn't. If you're in the north have a chat to the Nasar & the guys at Audio Images in Bradford (no I don't get paid by them!!!). They know all about this mod and have carried out lots of excellent work for me on A8's over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
