MMI Basic to MMI High upgrade

**Brycie** · 10-07-2013,09:09 PM

Hmmm, an upgrade kit on ebay for £600. If I sold my bluetooth module for a couple of hundred, that brings it down to £400. If I sell the Nav CD I just bought for £100, that brings it down to £300!!! My Wife's words: "You can **** off if you think........"

I'm assuming she isn't a fan then Brycie. Word of warning with that kit mate, that doesn't include installation or the removal of the component protection etc etc. I looked into that myself. Once the guide is up and if anyone is interested in it, I can pass on the details of the guy I sourced all my parts from and who I got to help me with the wiring

**Brycie** · 10-07-2013,09:36 PM

Yeah I did consider the fact that I'd need to pay someone for installation/help and I'd also need to buy the Nav DVD, but I conveniently forgot to mention that to Mrs B. I forgot all about CP, I bet that's not cheap. Good shout, thanks Steve.

Well half the battle I had was finding a dealer that was actually willing to remove the CP. Most say that they can't do it unless its a brand new control module that was bought from them. Some other dealers I spoke to thought it was impossible to do it with a used module which is absolute nonsense. I was really lucky in the end and has a guy with VAS 5051 remove all my CP for me and code in a new instrument cluster with the colour DIS for £70. A bargain to say the least

Its not just CP dealers can be a PITA about but even SVM flash upgrades, even if you state a TSB ....

Yeah no worries I'll get you his number and PM it to you. He's a friend of a friend so I'll get it for you this morning. He works out Doncaster though. Whether that's too far a drive for you or not

Thanks for quick response

.... that's a bit too far I thought perhaps the person was closer to your location ...

I'll use the forum sponsors Link:- Audi VW Specialists Centre in London, IIRC for a very low fee they'll do (x) of modules in one go for a person ...

Or the other person I met via forum

Hiya guys. Just to let everyone know, the guide will be up by Monday. Sorry it's taken so long to finish the guide, I've been busy at work and to be honest, it's not the easiest of guides to write
