Thanks to all the help from this site, I ordered, received, and installed a DVD/Nav system from Kufatec. But wanted to make a couple of comments about the install process, and ask a question.

I have an '06 A6 3.2, and when installing the the Nav, I didnt have to use the splice-in fiber optic cable Kufatec provided. It seems like an extra DVD/Nav fiber optic line was provided in the factory wiring, and I just had to plug it into the unit. There is also another extra "6 pin connector" in the factory wiring, but I did use the Kufatec supplied wiring for the "six-pin" splitter (mostly because I was worried it wouldnt work if I used the factory wire - Does anyone know if that extra 6-pin cable in the factory wiring would have worked?). The power wire was easy, but when the instructions say, pull up on the rear trunk cover, you really have to pull hard, and straight up. There are four spring clips and guides (in addition to the two plastic bolts) that hold that cover in place. Everything else was relatively easy.

The CAN gateway needs to be recoded at address 19. The instructions say, "Change Bit 5 of Byte 5 to 1". I have never recoded a car. What does this mean? Do I have to take it to a dealer? Are there any other resources that can help me?

Everything seems to work ok, but the Navigation is not activated. I am asumming this has to do with the recoding. Is this right? Thanks for your help!

This system contains COMPONENT PROTECTION. The only way to unlock it is to go to the Audi Dealer. The code for it can only be accessed with the VAS 5051/5051b/5052. The wiring you see and the fiber optic loop is the prewiring for SAT radio. Shoot me an email if you haveany further questions. bensuelynn@hotmail.com
