Instrument Cluster in MMI menu greyd?

[tomaslund]

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the Instrument Cluster menu in the MMI unit, it is greyd out and I cannot enter it.

Anyone have an idea of what could be wrong, maybe some VCDS programming?

Car info edit;

A6 c6 2009 2.0 tdi 170hp with MMI 3G but red DIS with computer (showing standard screen with fuel range)

I see that I have a small 1 top left of fuel range also.

Regards,
Tomas

You have to be specific.

1) Has it always been the same?
2) How long ago did it start?
3) Have you had any recent work done on your car?
4) Do you have VCDS?
5) Does your radio/CD player work?

Typically if greyed out you don't have those options, if all of it is and wasn't previously sounds like a major fault but nothing that'll affect it being driven.

Hi mark!

I didn't have it before, trying to retrofit.

Maybe missed something in VCDS?

Did the coding part in 17 and steering wheel, haven't done any adaption tho. .but activated instrument cluster in hidden menu.

MMI 2G or 3G?

3g

I take it you have replaced the can-gateway, and removed all the component protection. I've also retrofited MMI 3G into my A6 and the instrument cluster option works fine. So it must be down to a coding issue on one of the modules. Can you post a VCDS scan of your car.

[tomaslund]

I haven't retro fitted 3G only DIS

[tomaslund]

Everything works fine, except instrument cluster menu... don't have access to PC right now

I take it you have gone from the red DIS to colour.

[tomaslund]

Not even that, just put the stalk in with reset button 😄 had the stalk without before.

I have the red DIS, but the colour radio MMI 3G, and just trying to retrofit the stalk

Programming done in VCDS is instrument coding and steering wheel, but haven't done any adaption tho because don't know which channel etc..

Maybe that's what's wrong, don't you think?
