Which (if any) of the following products are compatible as an audio & video input to the existing MMI screen in a North American 2011 Audi S4 (with B&O and NAV)? What other products do you sell that will provide an additional audio & video input into the OEM screen?

Thanks.

Hi.
Only 836414 transmits audio and video, other video interfaces - only video. However, for 836414 installation FBAS green socket should be not occupied.

P.S. all video interfaces fit, if the car has MMI.

Hello, I purchased your Audi MMI 3G video interface.

I am looking for further clarity on connection information, do you have more installation instructions?

From pdf:

General question, does N.C mean no connection to pin/wire, even where a wire is present, there are some pinouts labelled N.C but a wire is present on the harness provided.

Power (I assume these are all mandatory for proper functionality, is this correct?)
1. Back lamp +12V when backlighting is present in car?
2. ACC +12V when accessory is on
3. N.C
4. N.C
5. Button signal what is this to connect to?
6. Ground ground this wire to vehicle chassis

AV IN/OUT (simply connect inputs & outputs desired to use)

RGB IN (what are these for?)
1. ADO-SEL ->MINUS (GND) what is this wire for, do we simply ground it or tie into somewhere?
2. N.C
3. N.C
4. N.C
5. N.C
6. N.C
7. SYNC what is SYNC for, what is SYNC in car?
8. G
9. N.C
10. N.C
11. REMOTE1 -> NAVI CONTROL OUT do not use when I don't have a remote?
12. N.C
13. REMOTE2 -> DVD CONTROL OUT do not use when I have no remote?
14. GND ground to vehicle chassis?
15. R what is this for?
16. B what is this for?

REMOTE - I have no remote, don't use, correct?

Ground ground this wire to vehicle chassis

No way! Don't do that. Take negative from the place where you've taken positive. Not from the chassis, but from the wire.

AV IN/OUT (simply connect inputs & outputs desired to use)

Yes

RGB IN (what are these for?)

For connection of aftermarket navigation boxes with RGB signal

ADO-SEL ->MINUS (GND) what is this wire for, do we simply ground it or tie into somewhere?

Don't connect it anywhere

SYNC what is SYNC for, what is SYNC in car?

RGB Csync

REMOTE1 -> NAVI CONTROL OUT do not use when I don't have a remote?

Don't connect
REMOTE2 -> DVD CONTROL OUT do not use when I have no remote?

Don't connect
GND ground to vehicle chassis?

It's RGB ground. Don't connect anywhere.

R what is this for?

Red in RGB signal
B what is this for?

Blue in RGB signal

REMOTE - I have no remote, don't use, correct?

Yes, you are right.
