That’s weird. Maybe somebody else knows how to activate it. It should be there...

If I remember well, then it was a common problem with the early FL models. I think, you should go to an Audi dealer, and they will replace the MMI version with the new one - probably for free, as it was a factory failure.

Any info about the green menu? We can activate it, access it but what exactly is it for? Can we make use of it (without breaking our car of course)?

The green menu allows you to change or activate some more hidden menus so they can show up on the MMI.
It also allows you to change settings and timings and all sorts of stuff.
Before you start though, you need to know that it can be VERY dangerous.... It CAN break your car...

There are various videos on you tube showing you how to get it and some of the bits it can do.
The plethora of options in there are vast. I cannot stress how careful you have to be in it.

You usually need VCDS to activate it in the first place.

I own VCDS and already made some small changes but I will not enter in the green menu without any specialist next to me. Thanks

If I remember well, there was only one case which required to usage of the Green menu.

It was the "NAD operation mode", which should be enabled there if you want to use the built in SIM card and the Bluetooth in the same time.

Ok soooo..I think I made a booboo, meaning I entered green menu to activate battery gauge level by accessing CAR -CAREXTDEVICE-BATT GAUGE LEVEL and then the last option to ser the battery to 5. Got out of the menu and hit menu-mid hutton-upper right corner button to reset it. But now the battery is not in the menu and this is showing over every menu I go in, even in the videoclips. I tried to set the battery option back to 0 but no luck. What can I do to reset it?
