Digital Radio DAB+ with sooo many additional stations. Now retrofit Interface 4501 for Audi MMI 2G system!
Finally an end to bad radio reception or just a few stations. Great sound and lots of new channels. With this set you can successfully upgrade the reception of Digital Radio DAB+. You enjoy digital, crystal-clear sound and a variety of radio stations. Also many national broadcasters.
The interface has the service following function. So if the reception quality of the station deteriorates, the interface searches in the background for a service with a stronger reception from this station. In addition, the station search function offers FM support. So if the DAB station is not available, the interface will switch to the same station and corresponding FM frequency.
All Audi MMI 2G systems are supported, the MMI 2G High systems with a software index of at least SW1110 are supported. This is how you can query the software index: Press and hold the SETUP button followed by RETURN on the control unit in the center console for approx. 10 seconds until the display menu changes to maintenance mode. Then confirm the view by pressing the MMI CONTROL KNOB. The SW index is then shown on the third line of the display. Here is also a video for it: Audi MMI 2G Software-INDEX A6 A8 Q5 Q7 A5 A4 - YouTube
