To extend the energy threshold of the Auger Observatory to lower energies and to measurethe number of muons in extensive air showers, the AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) enhancement is being developed. The complete muon detector system, including the scintillation detectors, the analogue front-end, trigger and the digital readout electronics, as well as the power supplies and slow-control electronics, have been designed. Prototypes of all components have been produced and tested separately in system tests. The performances of all components and the complete system will be discussed.
