Read the post .....
Louis, did you even read my post ?
I clearly state "Sony CCD RVC" first time, now going OEM.
Again read my post,
Your vehicle is a 06 it did not come with RVC, and it did not come with TV option you state, as you have no TV tuner, again you state that, what happens when you push the CD/AUX button, do you see what's in the picture below ?
If you have no factory TV tuner and or no factory RVC, YOU HAVE NO MMI WITH FBAS VIDEO INPUT.

Did you get the rubber boot for the trunk? What's the part number?
Can you take the picture of your camera position, please?
I just ordered everything today except 4E0 035 729 A

Louis, My vehicle has factory rubber sleeves for wiring on both sides factory installed.

A6 & Q7 MMI controller doesn't work with A8?
Hello Johnny,
"No this one will work just with a6 and q7
- fabio123blou"
Please check this one for me to see why the seller said it won't work on 06 A8L
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121084503600&ssPageNam e=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123">MMI interface Ebay NO CP</a>
Thanks,
Louis

I'll modify my current Head Unit with the FBAS connector and add a few components on to existing circuit to get it working. I got the schematic.

Took out the glove box to see what I have in 06 A8
I hate to guess what I have in my car, so I took off the glove box and yes, I don't want to install the old 907 729 A, I have the new software version one.
The screws for the Head Unit are too small, my T10 torx doesn't fit. Does anyone know what size it's supposed to be, T9 or T8?
I'm getting close. My camera controller won't be here until 2 weeks later, I'll have time to work with updating the circuit and connectors.
Until I opened the box, I can't tell how many things I need to replace. Hopefully since it's a new unit, not many, just the Fakra connector, if not,
approximately 25 components + an 24.576 Mhz oscillator.
The parts should cost less than $20.
Cheers,
Louis

Opened up 4e0 907 729
So, I opened up the Head Unit today - T8 is needed to remove the torx screws. There is a whole circuit that needs to be populated, but it does cost less than buying a used up one.
the 24.576 MHZ only cost .87 at electronic store.
I ordered extra to make a few units.
Slowly but surely!!!
