I recently had my nav system on the 07 a8 replaced with a complete 3g system. I had the following done:

Replaced Screen, Controller, Amplifier, Radio Tuner, 5f Drive, Central Gateway.

I had component protection removed at my local Audi dealer and the message came back in one day!

I went back and had them remove it again last week. THe system was operating totally fine until yesterday. THe sound kept cutting in and out. Now today, I got the component protection message on the screen.

Any idea what gives? The dealer is not able to see any of the new modules when they hook up the VAS system. THey were able to remove component protection from the Central Gateway > Basic Protection.

Could be putting non apropos parts in your MY vehicle is triggering it.

Would really suck if you spent 4k for nada.

Try asking craigyb over at tyresmoke.net. He has the most experience with 3g retrofits out of anyone I've seen on the net although from what I've seen he doesn't seem too interested in helping anyone in the US.
