My dad bought my a6 new and I then inherited it when he got company cars. Won't part with it 🙂 does need a cambelt and water pump now though so currently off the road. But hoping to be back on the road shortly so I can do the north coast 500

IMO You may find you need other modules etc. coding and firmware updates to get this to work. A specialist would be able to advise further on what is required. If you buy a generic one you will loose functionality outside of a headunit, such as car and air conditioning control if you have that. You can get aftermarket replacment ones for your specific car but these require further research as not all kits are created equal. Do you have/can fit the ami port? It's not too much money to fit and code in usually. From here you can add things for bluetooth music streaming. I just have a bluetooth adapter for music and use the phone screen mounted for everything else, online radio etc. It launches Android Auto (on my phone) on connection as well.

The fuse is located in the boot, behind the panel on the right (you would have removed it to change the outer light if your car is RHD), I believe they are fuses 7(Right) and 9(Left) in the black fuse holder but check your manual. You said the lights didnt come on, which lights? If you mean the side/running lights you will need to switch the lights to side/on (not auto if you have that). Also check if the lights come on when you brake, it is the same LED's but on a different circuit. Again check the indicator, reverse and fog lights, if non work, then it could be the fuse. However, if only your brake/side lights don't work there are a couple of possibilities. Most new lights don't come with the bulb holder, so you may have swapped yours in which involves plugging a molex style connector for the LED's. Check this is not the wrong way round Check the cars computer using a VW/Audi diagnostics tool, it may have stored a fault in the module which has disabled the lights (as mine did when I changed mine). Clear this and try again.

Making use of lockdown, couple of days with the rotary. Not 100% But had to make do with stuff I had at home, most my gear is kept at my unit.
