£2,860 What The

[Cricket0310]

So iv been having mmi issues which i posted on a seperate thread, i have 3g high with nav, anyways after being given the run around by local so called specialists i paid audi for diagnostic (£60). Waited almost 3 hours and technician came back with estimate for repair - faulty 5f module £2860 what the ****. Im sure they didnt take anything apart to check for loose connections so 3 hours to plug in their computer and diagnose.

The cars only worth £6k so paying that to get a fix is out of the question. I rang audi back up to get the part number so i could another on ebay or breaker but i cant believe they wouldnt give it to me, what a joke.

Im gna try and take the centre controls out as im sure i spilt some pepsi on there which i wiped clean a few months back. Im not good with cars so going to be a big job for me.

Where can i find a step by step guide to remove the centre console on my B8 and what tools are needed to give it a good clean. If this doesnt work can somebody please advise on how to take the 5f module out of the dash so i can get the part number to try snd find a replscement. I guess if i find one ill have to get CP removed from audi, another £150, any help would be appreciated this has gone on for too long, thanks

Yes, thats the result of dealer(new unit with install etc).

HNav mainunit in uk should be:

8T2035670(WITH SIM) and 8T2035666(NO SIM SLOT). You can get correct number from guy who did your first autoscan, he should have it, vcds module address 5F!

You need similar keys to take mainunit out:

Sometimes if you lucky, you can cut those from "old plastic card(credit,debit etc) and you will get mainunit out also! (no warranty it will work always).

Remove centre console DIY:

This is how to remove the center console trim

[Guest 2]

5F controller is removed by 2 radio removal keys at the bottom, click them into it and the unit will pull out. There are various connections so be careful not to stretch anything especially the fibre optics.

The mmi control panel is removed by removing the gearstick gator then pull the console up from the bottom .. the panel will then be removed.

Hi sorry for late reply, been on holiday to get away from stress, your info was helpful and was easy to take the console out and clean, also able to get part number which is 8T2 035 666 D, one last help i need is that iv found replacement modules but the lettering is different so mine is D, i have found some that are E and F, does this make a difference, thanks

[Gunnark100]

No, its not important, letter just gives idea about production date and software number. It will work regardless of letter! You can update it later anyway, link you find few threads below

Not sure how to disassemble.

As for the part number; you would be better off finding someone local to you with a VAGCOM diagnostic lead (or similar). A global scan will highlight the part numbers and software revisions of all of the control modules in the car. They might even see something that the VAG technicians missed as they chase faults rather than globally scanning all modules.

For example, this is mine (ignore the fault, I've fixed it now ):

You have better MMI 3G+(8R2) starting from end of 2011 on facelift cars, op has older version MMI 3G high(mainunit 8t2)!

Good luck.

Curious what you did to fix yours as a couple of people who did diagnostic check with an older version of vcds said mine has software update management issue the same as yours

[Cricket0310]

So i found a local garage who was breaking audi 2.7 not sure what year but same shape, thought id try my luck as could get this unit next to nothing, saw the shark fin on the car and got excited, the unit the car had was 8T2 035 110 C with no sd slots but cd changer buttons instead where my sd slots are. I just want to fix and sell, will this unit be compatable it was a panasonic unit? And the number at the end of my unit D dies this mean a unit that has E for example has newer software? thanks

[Gunnark100]

This cd charger will work on your car, but you still need main unit also(it will not replace the main unit)! Sw management error usualy comes with sw and map updates and with small play in green menu also etc, its not dangerous fault and system will work regardless! With vcds and tweak of one adaption channel you can get rid of this, but its not important
