We have been specialising in servicing these units since 2008 with over 1500 units repaired to date.

What fails and why

With many of these cars there is a problem with water ingress. On the A6 this is due to with the rear wash wipe hose splitting spraying fluid over the amplifier cluster also the sunroof assembly splits in the rear corner allowing water to enter the car - straight on top of the amplifier .

The amplifier usually shows signs of water damage which can be moderate to severe this causes problems with :-

No sound
Draining battery
No mmi screen
Random component protect
Loss of channels

Complete failure - this is often down to electrical surge which damages the delicate components within the amplifier - occasionally this may result in recoding being neccessary . If you are unsure - please send images of board and we can advise before sending.

Repair

We carry stock of ALL parts required to rebuild these units - the data is never changed by repair so therefore the units are plug and play on return - there is NO need to have the units re-coded on return .

Counterfeit / Replacement Boards

There is now a growing number of counterfeit boards circulating on eBay - please bear in mind that these units are a very poor quality replica - and WILL need coded on fitting regardless and the ' one model fits all ' listing is completely untrue - there are many model numbers / variants taylored for your vehicle .We have a comprehensive guide on our website to help you identify if you have a ' copy ' unit.

 We are now receiving them for repair on a regular basis ... on failure , most of them are completely scrap. 

Removal

The unit is located at the rear of the car on the left hand side - pretty much all the trim has to be removed to gain access . the amplifier is mounted to a bracket/frame (please remove this - it will make the packaging smaller).

We now cover all models of A6 amplifiers

Other models - please enquire
