I have audi a6 2015 facelift.
It have oem bose sound and mib 2.5 navi system,according to my info should it be most 150.

Problem is when i connect optical from bose amp(trunk left side),there is no output,no power on remote on zen,volume on HU stuck on 12(there was left with oem system).
On zen blink blue and output toslink from zen is red but not connstant?

What do i make wrong?

I think you might have bought the wrong unit...

2015 Audi would use a Mobridge DA1 - not a NavTV Zen-V.

I suspect this is what you need:

I'd recommend reaching out to Mobridge to confirm if your vehicle is MOST150 or MOST25.

The helix sdmi25 is almost impossible to find in N America. But works the same a da1. Your 2015 a6 is definitely most25. See my 2014 a6 bose build.
A few guys here are looking for nav zen v
In n america facelift started in 2016

I only know most25 so I cant really comment on most 150. I know 2018 a6 is 150. 2012-2015 are 25. It gets fuzzy in 2016. The mobridge site shows a list of compatabilities. What ever they show the da1 works for so will the sdmi25 will as well.
If I had access to sdmi25 I would buy them all and sell them on our marketplace. You will have no problem selling the one you dont need.

I have a 2015 Skoda Superb with MIB2 and I had the same issue with the Nav TV unit. Nav TV in the UK contacted the US engineers and they couldn't help, so I ended up returning it. They said it should have worked, but it didn't. Mine is definitely MOST 150.

I ended up getting a T'eyes head unit instead so I could get optical out.

I tried this today, downgrading firmware but no joy. Contacted Nav TV support UK, they advised they never managed to get it working on a Skoda and had no plans to make it a supported vehicle. They then swiftly removed Skoda as a vehicle affiliated with the product on their website. I then contacted Nav TV support in the US, tried going backwards in firmware no joy. I asked for one of their engineers to look at it as it seems to be an issue with the MOST handshake to the Skoda MIB; they couldn’t have been more disinterested and said there would be a 3-4 month wait before they’d get someone to even look at it. The appeal of the Zen was I could upgrade to a different VAG group vehicle and take the upgraded DSP and sound system with me by using the Zen getting OEM style finish every time. Unfortunately, it’s an expensive paper weight for me now and is now on eBay if anyone is after one for their VW/Audi etc which is a safe bet. Seems absurd when Skoda VW Audi etc head units are all the same hardware just reskinned UI - but what can you do.

You would not think vag would have so many variations. Is there skoda in australia. Maybe mobridge will develop something. Good luck. There is a member doing a 2018 a4 right now.
