Note: Most articles of Audi A6 are also relevant for A4 B8/A5/A8/Q7 with MMI High (2nd gen), although only few of the articles cover MMI 3G that shipped in Audis since late 2008. If you are unsure which MMI generation or radio system your car has, read this article. This site covers information up to the year 2010.

Facelifted: a6retrofit.tripod.com
Note our new and now only address (a6retrofit.tripod.com) - one last update to the original, old Yahoo! Geocities version of this page was uploaded today. I expect those old pages to disappear within the week (or whenever Yahoo! pulls the plug), so time to update all your bookmarks to a6retrofit.tripod.com and tell your friends too.
To celebrate the move, and the fact that with the help of LoCal and others this site has grown to be much more than I originally intended, we are launching a slight facelift to address readability feedback. Hopefully this new grey era will be easier on the eyes than the former black one. Enjoy! -mk (October 22, 2009)
New address: a6retrofit.tripod.com
Welcome to this Audi retrofit site. Our year-long stay at Yahoo! Geocities is ending due to them closing later this year. The a6retrofit site will now continue at Tripod, a6retrofit.tripod.com. Of course the old a6retrofit page will remain available at the old address (but dormant) until Yahoo! closes Geocities. Thanks all! -mk (June 11, 2009)
Welcome to the a6retrofit site!
This small amateur website contains thoughts and information concerning retrofitting equipment to the Audi A6 car (4F/C6, 2004/2005+ model) and other Audi models - see the column on the right [and below]. My main motivation for this site is to store and share all the notes as well as the few larger postings I have collected and written over the years, so that others can benefit from them. I have personally been blessed with online help from many fine individuals on various Audi related websites, thank you all. This is my small way of paying it forward.
The site contains information in English and in Finnish, marked accordingly with respective flags. Information revolves mostly around Euro-spec cars, although much is universal.
Please refer any technical questions to the various fine Audi related forums, links to which you can find in the articles on this website, as I will not be able to reply to everyone.
DISCLAIMER, TERMS OF USE: Please feel free to share, copy, mirror, link to and use any information on this site freely, it is there to hopefully help you and others. However, understand that I am no professional, not affiliated with Audi or anyone and anything posted here may and probably does contain errors and omissions, so take it with a pinch of salt and use it at your own risk. I recommend always consulting a professional, your dealer or Audi when in doubt. The content on this site is provided as is, with no guarantee of usefulness, correctness or fitness for any purpose. Any advertisements that may show up on this site are displayed by the hoster of this nice, free web space [as of 11.6.2009 host Tripod, used to be] (Yahoo! Geocities), I do not benefit from them.
Happy kilometers/miles to all my fellow Audi drivers,
June 1, 2008
