May be searching at wrong time, they seem to be in high demand. The thing is all I find are from outside of USA. I was burned before buying from other countries with part not fitting after trying to verify and getting pics and asking questions.

Just make sure it's 4e0 and has the optic most connection
Buy from some one with 98% + rating
You have to wait sometimes they do come up at the right price.
Mainly from Poland or Lithuania are the cheaper ones.
Never had any problem except one buying from overseas and that was from the USA

Thanks, was kind of skeptical about AUS and LIT but my ay give the a second look. I just don't like buying out of the country.

But I look at them again

I have bought off the seller here in Australia he has an Audi vw aftermarket business 100% rAting if you want to pay a little more for new.
Lithuania and Poland all got high ratings too.
These days if it's defective or you don't get it eBay takes the money off them straight away until it's sorted in the customers favor.
But also look at the big German wreckers in the states.

Default Get an Analog TV tuner, forget the primitive 2G AMI...

https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-.../#post24814893

<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDI-A8-D3-TV-Tuner-MMI-2G-High-4E0919146-Genuine-Audi-Original-/121991436355?hash=item1c67419843:g:~x0AAOSwMr1XPZB o">4E0 919 146</a>, get some cables, hook it up to your satellite cables or buy new ones ($50) and you're on your way to streaming bluetooth.



Cheers,

Louis

While Dension Gateway is a nice alternative (and the best aftermarket alternative to AMI and to MP3 CD-Changer), I still recommend the AMI.

I used Dension Gateway 500 many years on my A6 until I bought the A8, and I can compare them. AMI integrates much better with the car.
