Hello titou43,

I am not sure what problems you are having, so post the scan so I can see, ALSO where are you located and what vehicle are you installing the "4G0 919 129 C" into ?

The part number you have listed is for the following vehicles.

PART # 4G0 919 129 C is for MMI 3G +

A4 (8K) 2012-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 7" screen

A5 (8T) 2012-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 7" screen

A6 (4G) 2011-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 8" screen

A7 (4G) 2011-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 8" screen

Q3 (8U) 2012-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 7" screen

Q5 (8R) 2012-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 7"screen

Q7 (4L) 2010-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 7" screen

A8 (4H) 2010-2013 with MMI 3G Plus with 8"screen

Defaults, or do you mean fault codes, if so what are they ?


These errors are "normally" because the tuner TV is not coded so...

Again, what errors ?

Have you an idea of the coding of this part number 4G0 919 129 C ?

No, as the part number you listed is not for 2003 to 2009 A8's, BUT, in the three TV tuner that I have installed, I never had to "code" the TV Tuner.

I have included this controller into the list in the gateway....

Good.

Many thanks

I believe the errors you will receive in a vcds scan are a can-bus error and antenna errors. Well, at least with the analog tv tuner. I coded the can-bus to include the tv tuner, the only errors I have now remain from lack of antennas.

Hello

Sorry for my responses very incomplete...

My car is :
A4 (8K) year 2012 with MMI 3G Plus with 7" screen (software version 767)

This appear...
I would like to say it is the tuner TV appear on the MMI Menu (touch MEDIA and after choose Tuner TV or AV1
But I have fault code on the VCDS (in french)
01042 : calculateur non code
00863 : antenne 1
00864 : antenne 2
00865 : antenne 3

The fault code 00863, 00864 and 00864 are normal because I have not put the antenna amplifier for the option Tuner TV at this day (It become in the 2 or 3 weeks...)
The fault code 01042 is the coding like all other controler I think
It needeed to chek the option (audi 8K2 or Avant 8K5)

So it is my question :
what coding is needeed for to solve default 01042 ?

Many thanks for your help

See number 57 for TV-Tuner


http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index..._A4/S4/RS4_(8K)

I am not sure on the code for your 2012 A4 but, the Ross-Tech page does show below as for analog, but the page for analog/digital is blank.

When you are using the Ross-Tech cable and software and access number 57 for TV tuner and go into coding, as you hover over the area where you would input said info a balloon will popup showing you the numbers to choose, like this popup for OPS.

Coding
000?xxx: Rear-Seat-Entertainment (Active/Passive-Mode) 0 = Passiv (without RSE or with passive RSE) Without Rear-Seat-Entertainment OR with Rear-Seat-Entertainment that does NOT use the TV-Tuner as Source

1 = Active (with active RSE) With Rear-Seat-Entertainment that does use the TV-Tuner as Source


000x?xx: Model (Antenna) 0 = Audi A6 (4F2 - Sedan) / Audi A8 (4E)
3 = Audi A6 (4F5 - Avant/Wagon) / Audi Q7 (4L)

000xx??: Country 01 = Central Europe (PAL B/G)
02 = Italy (PAL B/G)
03 = UK/Ireland (PAL I)
04 = Eastern Europe (SECAM D/K)
05 = France (SECAM L)
06 = North America (NTSC M)
07 = Australia (PAL B/H)
08 = Brasil (PAL M)
09 = Argentinia (PAL N)
10 = New Zealand (PAL B)
11 = Eastern Europe (PAL D/K)
12 = China (PAL D/K)
13 = Africa (PAL I)
14 = Greece/Egypt (SECAM D/K)
15 = Africa (SECAM K1)
16 = Japan (NTSC M)
17 = Marocco (SECAM MAROCCO)
18 = Eastern Europe (OIRT PAL B/G)
19 = Eastern Europe (PAL B/G)
20 = Asia (PAL B/G)
21 = South America (NTSC)
22 = Asia (NTSC M)
23 = Russia (SECAM D/K)
24 = India (PAL B/G)
25 = Hongkong (PAL I)

I have try some conding and yet :

I have only the errors because I have not antenna amplifier

I have tested AV in and AV out...

On the AV out (in direction of rear screen....) it seems there is no problem

When I choose on the MMI 3GP by "Media" and after "external AV" I have sound on the speaker but not video (GGRRRRR !!!!)

My AV lead has arrived.

Does anyone have a picture of the read plug that I have to tap into with the pin numbers? I have seen one but it doesnt say from which side it is being viewed when reading the pin numbers.

Many thanks
