craigyb Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Interesting discovery for the A5, it can be either MOST or CAN BUS based for it's ICE (infotainmnet system). I'm guessing CAN BUS will be used in the lower end systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson_R32 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yeah I noticed that when the brochure came out, very interesting like you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny_boon Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 what implications does that have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 If you chose the lower spec system it would be harder to add upgrades like DAB radio, DVB-TV, AMI etc as these are MOST based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDiAvant Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 DAB = MMI HIGH (MOST BUS) I take it you also ordered nav? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDiAvant Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 It's looking like we are wrong about CAN/MMI. looking through etka, I cannot find any CAN-BUS parts for the A5. The only information I can find is about MMI High and MMI Low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Ok, so on ETKA look at the phone kit Page 035-55 for car with MMI Page 035-56 for cars with CAN BUS Looks pretty clear cut to me. Also "Radio" Concert, Chorus, Symphony on page 035-38 And it can take AMI or Ipod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Ok, so looking at the options list, they are saying DAB radio does not require MMI. (Unlike TV which states "only in combination with Satellite Navigation system Plus") So have Audi now produced a CAN based version of the DAB unit? If so can i feck as like find it in etka, I can on find the MMI version Or have Audi made an arse up and forgot to add "only in combination with Satellite Navigation system Plus" next to the DAB option.

craigyb Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 More likely to be a configurator error, the DAB is definately MOST based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yes as you say the current DAB module is MOST based, but it would be nice to see a can based version, like the XM & Sirius recivers in the US. If Audi have gone this way with the A5, I think the B8 A4 will also have have CAN/MMI options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yes i think it will go that way for the B8, but I think they will hold the DAB/DVB-TV in the MOST arena as a market clincher. If you want DAB etc your gonna have to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
