For Audi MMI 2G that don’t have FBAS (RVC) installed, you need to add the circuit or change the MMI head unit from for the TV tuner to work. 2007+ A8s and Q7 have back up camera built in therefore it’s plug and play. To upgrade 4E0 035 729 A you also need the CAN Gateway that supports RVC: , older ones don’t support.
If we have an Audi with MMI 2G, FBAS RVC installed and we don’t have AMI unit built in and don’t want to spend $500+ to get one, the alternative is to get an old Analog TV Tuner 4E0 919 146 to install. If we want to watch movies, we can use or TV with digital TV tuner. The important wires are the 20PIN connectors. Follow the diagram to create your own cables. Pin 4,5,6,7,14,15,19,20 are not used. Make sure Pin 3 is connected to the sense line of the power connector – Wire color WHITE/YELLOW.

Thank you for your extremely informative videos and DIYs. I, like you love retrofitting modules into my audis and have done so many times. I just purchased the analog tuner, most y splitter, and power y splitter. Looking forward to installing this into my c6 s6 so I can get some mmi digital gauges 🙂
I have a seperate question. I want to install a front camera in my q7. Does the stock camera module on the q7 4l have an option / input for additional camera? Do you know if there is an oe PN for the front camera? I see it as an option on some q7 4l models. Thanks!!
