The Denison Gateway seems to be pretty popular. I think I am going to look in to it.

I don't even know if I have BT, I have never seen any feature that control it in my MMI. I am pre-wired for phone.

Buy cheap fibre optic loop.
Pull your phone box.
Put loop in then every thing else will work if no other faults.
Search eBay for the same phone box ( cheap cheap )
Or if you have fixed phone get Bluetooth box and connector and bye bye fixed phone.
No component protection on the phone units just coding
Thanks Storka, exactly what I needed step by step. On it now. So I am into the new OEM phone module part for $298 plus shipping saw as high as $545. No fixed phone so only interested in getting phone in optical loop working so I can activate my BT, up-grade my MMI software for AMI (from 2740 to 4610). man I hope this works and I am not chasing device change outs!! I will look into Denison if I find I have no BT box. Buying loop from 05SilverA8 forum member below.

Oh, where do I find coding for phone? 2007 S8. Any idea?

Thanks again

Ok so you are basically swapping out and in the same part.
So you new for under $500.
Used cheapest I see posted about $290.
So new maybe the way to go for piece of mind.
So audi dealer was going to charge heaps to roll the seat back and plug in the loop and later charge to install a 100% mark up above retail module.
And have already got a dollar from you to look at it.
unbelievable well not really. That's how they roll.


Code it the same as your old unit from your vcd printout. I have a rSAP model in mine coding may be different. 0060021
Most important fix the water leak
cheers

Thanks, yea the dealership got me for $156 diagnostic. I found new module for $298 with $50 core fee if I return with old one. Will have my local shop do the install.Tnanks for the tip on the VCD printout old code. Yours looks similar I think. The water leak is a good ad………didn't even think about that. Now, for where that might be. Local soft carwash is suspect now

I bought the car from an auction with a few problems. I have done all problems (coolant leak, air suspension problem, front bumper). However, I am having problem with the MMI system. I got Audi MMI on screen and relay clicking from trunk (maybe 10 times). Finally the screen goes blank. It is most likely something wrong with one of the components or the MMI control unit that connected each others with fiber optic. I obviously need a VCDS scan. However, when I got the car left rear door did not get any power. When I removed to door panel I got the wire cut out and someone took out the speaker. My question is that does a missing speaker cause to fault entire MMI system?

No, it doesn't. Your first assumption is better. VCDS scan, including optic ring scan, will tell where is the problem.
