Hi all

I've recently bought a 2008 S5 which has AMI fitted but wasn't working.

On inspection there is no cable to the back of the unit in the glove box. Car has the 6 disc in dash changer.

Can anyone tell me what cable I need and where it fits to?

The part number on the AMI is 8T0035785A.

Thanks

Steve

You're most likely missing the MOST (fiber-optic) cable, to get the AMI unit in the loop
(pretty strange it's not there)

have a look at this:

Many Thanks!

I have now worked it out. It's the wrong AMI unit. This is a CAN Bus so is incompatible. Must have been retro fitted by previous owner as not showing AMI in the options codes.

Will source one on EBay.
