A little side-note
And, may I add, be very careful when burning the ISO files.
I managed to update the MMI on both my Q7 and A6 but I bricked the A6 DVD reader (aka the navi control unit) when updating the navi maps because the map DVD wasn't burned properly. The map update process did not finish (it froze at 85%) and I wasn't able to recover from it. From that point on, the navi control unit wouldn't even appear in VCDS and I had to replace it.
Lesson learned: double check data integrity on burned CDs/DVDs.

The process of upgrade was smooth BUT lost completely Radio at the end.
CD1 upgrade was OK, CD2 upgrade showed the car doesn't have Bluetooth module (N/A), CD3 was smooth as a process, but CD didn't recognize Radio module (TUNE) and left behind upgrade block 17 and 360 ... sending message 129 device is not recognize. The result at the end - version 5570 installed. Radio sends message "Radio is not installed". Well ... disaster .... wait, even more ... next day decided to run CD3 again to see might goes well .... and ... the option to upgrade Radio disappeared from CD3 during reading metadata ... how about that !
All images CD's burned at x24 speed with double verification.
Some thoughts - the upgrade is focused on Europe market I am in NZ ... but it has nothing to do with car modules ... they are the same in Japan, Europe, Australia and NZ. My Audi A8 2004 made for Japan market was imported to NZ last year with old MMI software (v3400) and worked well in all options in NZ. Why I decided to upgrade - simply after MMI reboot , the system got frozen demanding CD for reboot. CD1 cleared reboot .... and the whole story you already know.
Any positive input to get Radio back will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Alex

I dont think 24x is the slowest speed the OP warned you to use.. either way if a firmware update fails there is very rarely any way to recover.. others already indicated that a failure required replacing the MMI unit all together...
This is one of those things, if its not broken.. dont fix it.

2 out of 3 in this thread bricked their MMI, are you sure you'd like to update your MMI? Its working now, but odds are against you that it'll be working after you try to update.

I believe you are missing a TV tuner.
Compare the backplate of the unit in the video and your unplugged cables (incl. the cinch connectors); they are all matching. Looks like somebody added (blue zipties), and subsequently removed the TV tuner from the vehicle.
The corrugated MOST cables (optical) are a closed loop system, you need to plug them in the respective devices, otherwise the system won't work properly. If the device is missing or you want to add one, there are aftermarket MOST bypass loops or "Y" splitters available to patch the circuit as necessary. I bought one on ebay to add a DVD navigation drive to my Q7.

thank you for your thoughts. VCDS: 57-TV Tuner -- Status: OK 0000. I have clean VCDS fault report - all modules OK 0000. In this case someone loop optical TV tuner cable to trick the system. I didn't find any loop cables. What you see on ph1 - three loose cable I found come from the same harness which connect Navigation. 3 for Nav and 3 loose for Something. The same ph1 left side - obviously TV cable which goes to or comes from What? ... amplifier? ... what is that unit behind Radio unit? ... in regards radio unit - you see unplugged cables above Radio unit and some attachment (small square box - Band expansion for NZ, converted from Japan radio bands ). Radio unit cables are sorted.
I did internet research ... not much luck. ... to be honest ... didn't think it will be a mission.
