TV-tuner install
Hello Everybody!
I know this has been discussed in the past, but I found no real answer to this question:
What are the exact steps to getting installing a tv-tuner into a US a6? Also, does the OEM tv-tuner come with aux inputs?
I have seen pictures from people on this forum who have done this, but I couldn't find out how to do it exactly.
Thanks in advance.

It seems people post about doing it then become ghosts when you ask for details...
I'm with you, I hate this as I am very interested in the process but no one ever seems to actually cough up any information.

OEM TV tuner retrofit for A6 4F US specs (works on A8 with high MMI) 9 pics long
You will need :
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108733/0c_1_b.jpg">
1. OEM TV tuner Part # 4E0 919 146 OR 146A
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108733/dsc00023.jpg">
2. OEM MMI control interface box with FBAS input(notice the green FBAS connector , not on US control MMI box). FBAS input on interface box hooks up with the FBAS output on TV tuner.
3. Wireing kit ( optic fiber + wire harness + FBAS coax cable + A/V input ) kit sold at kufatec.de for 99 E
4. TV antenna ( no clue about the model number or where to get them) i still need help on that part , i just using the A/V input to play DVDs on my MMI screen.
Install instructions :
1. Remove Glove box to access MMI inteface box , interface is bolted with lable facing down right above the glove box under passenger aibag , replace with EURO version with FBAS input. Attach and run the Coax FBAS green connector from the interface box to the left far side of the trunk where the nav box and the K-box is.

2. Install TV tuner in empty slot under nav box, you will have to remove the whole rack and install the tuner in the MOST ring, i didn't use the optic fiber loop i just pluged it where the SAT radio is suppose to plug in the most ring, and finally run the power cable provided on the harness to fuse box located on the right side on the trunk over the battery.

Hello Saltey,
I have done exactly as suggested by you, except that I inserted it in the optic fiber loop. The result is that TV is working perfectly but I get no sound (and I see the loudspeaker symbol crossed).
Parts are second-hand.
Any idea why this is happening?
thanks. Antonio
