Please can you help me to handle this problem?
I have read this thread and need to know what is the shortcut way of doing conversion without bricking anything?

Thank you in advance.

im in the middle of attempting this now for a 2008 Q7

i have installed euro nav, radio and telephone unit.
radio was easy.
nav not, telephone not yet.
there was no fibre cable for tel unit in the jap car, and the nav had les plugs on it, which is guess is from the jap tel unit running thru it.
i thinking to take it to audi for a software update... then finding some fibre optic cable to run for the tel....

this cant be that easy, other companies here are doing it....

I did a software update and added a rear view camera to my 2005 A8, but lost control of FM radio and can not find any way to connect my Samsung telephone to the vehicle (neither could do it before the update) and would be very thankful if you give me more info about that process to find out how to make radio and telephone connection work properly.

The Nav unit was a straight swap in the end for me. The first one I bought was a dud. There are far less cables and you only plug one of the connectors in.
you will have to get a new telephone unit as the Japanese one doesn't have a MOST connection.
I fitted mine using a new fibre connection piggy backed off the AMI; it worked but only partially so I'm waiting for a new unit. I made a new home for it in the glove box rather than lifting carpets.
Have look on eBay for a Bluetooth retrofit fibre loom. It's normally quite reasonable and it's a pretty standard thing.
My problem came when updating the software (just for the Bluetooth) as the software update process didn't see the unit. However I could see it and change the settings through my diagnostics. My theory is that there might be an issue with the diagnostic line to the ami or the telephone unit was a dud.

Can I install a Bluetooth in my car? Is that really possible? The only thing I currently find in my A8 is a strange cable connector in the arm-box. I don't even know what kind of a phone is it for.
