AMI finally installed! Yeah!

The dealer finally got the part and installed it this morning. All works well. I can listen to my podcasts now -- life is good.

Re: At TW???

yep. It ended up being just over $1100 parts / labor / tax, including my 10% discount for being a member of ACNA. They said mine was the first they had done.

Re: AMI finally installed! Yeah!

I am a fairly new 08 A8L owner ... What is AMI? What does it allow the car to do? What was the cost for the parts and labor?

Thanks...

Audi Music Interface...

aka ipod connection (or MP3's). Very tightly integrated with MMI compared to many ipod car installs. Has been available on new Audi's for a few years now, but just came out as a retrofit option. Superseded the old Phatbox idea Audi used in D2's, C5's, etc., which was basically a bulky dedicated hard disk drive unit. Lots of $$ to retrofit AMI to be sober about it. Dension Gateway 500 is the other option you see discussed in posts in the last day or so.
