MMI Problem Radio keeps cutting out every few seconds

[icemen]

I have a audi a6 2.7 tdi s line quattro

The MMI is playing up, I was listening to radio at lunch time having a snooze with the key just in the ignition. After 10 or 15 min it went off. I thought nothing of it. turned it back on & the radio start going out every few seconds. now the cd player isn't working the sat nav isnt working the phone isnt connected to the car? the bluetooth not working. I have been reading it could be possible to do with the phone module?

Any help would be apprieciated, Audi want £150 just to look at it

thanks

I had this once, it was the BT module gone down. Because of the way they are wired in, one module causes issues with all the others, sorry.

BT module, do you know how much this costs? or where I can get this replaced from?

[stig414]

Mine was a warranty job, but if you look around the forums and ask the right tech at the dealers, it is a common problem. Give Craig a shout he's only at Manchester, not millions of miles from the west mids. Top bloke, and honest with it, unless you can find someone nearer, he has my recommendation every time.

Where are you based?

Try Gareth at Home - Vw & Audi Sat Nav, Bluetooth , TV Tuners, Cruise Control Installations UK say you had spoken to Rich with the A6, he can sort it out for you.

thanks Rich, Have just emailed them. See what they say.. By the way my car has never had the phone in centre front arm rest. that should be a problem should it?

[Cockney Boy]

That wont be a problem, but to check the BT unit Gareth will need to do a MOST loop test. This will involve taking out the passenger seat to gain access to the BT module. The loop test involves by passing the BT units Fireb optic loop (MOST) to see if everything else comes back. If this si the case then you will need a new BT unit.

But i did point Gareth to another memebr who had a similar porblem with his A8 and it turned out to be the MMI Interface that contols the MMI system. Lets hope its the BT eh.

Actually you don't remove anything to perfrom the loop test, it's only after you've ran the test and suspect the BT module that you take out the seat to by pass it.

criag I spoke to you friday about 6.30 & you said you had finished for the day.

gareth hasn't got back to yet spoz it will be tuesday now. I'll see what gareth says, when did you tell me phone you back?

Guys how much do you think a bt module & fit will set me back as i'm on a tight bugget.

[craigyb]

The PX price I got from Audi was £222.08 and I had to return the old unit to Audi. These are in very short supply and Audi will not sell a unit without PX.

So a fitting charge on top as you have to remove the seat etc and recode.

If I was to come to manchester, would you be able to get one off audi beforehand? then after you have taken my old one out you return to them later?

craig I have next thursday 9/09/10 off work. If you could get a module I could drive up in the morning to your place? please let me know

[craigyb]

I'm at Audi Manchester on thursday afternoon 9/9. So if you want to come there and do the diags and buy a module if neccessary, they will let me have one and return a faulty one.

[icemen]

do the diags at audi they will charge about £150? can't you do it? don't you have any module at your work place. I couls possibly come on Friday if you want?

[craigyb]

I meant I would do the diags to prove it was the module. Just that I'm working at Manchester Audi on Thursday afternoon so you can come to the car park there and sort it out. Maybe if you called me tomorrow and actually had a conversation we could sort it out. Friday I can't do anything for you.

[icemen]

oh ok, if i come there you can sort me out in the carpark & fit the module? i'll call you tom

Iceman, did you manage too fix your problem with your mmi?

I have a very similar problem with mine. Mmi unti has stopped working. Mmi display comes on for about 30 seconds then turns off. Nothing works. I tried resetting but no luck. Did craig manage to resolve your problem?

[craigyb]

No, he never contacted me again, complete waste of time

Hi, it's my very first post on here, as I'm sure you can tell!

I've been reading about the radio/ CD problems with interest. I have an Audi A6 Avant (2003). I haven't had any problems with the radio/ CD player until my son pressed the FM button 2 days ago. Now there's no music at all The display glows so there must be some sort of power going to it, but there's no actual display, as in numbers or words. The display continues to glow, even overnight, which I'm sure can't be a good thing. I am going to investigate the leaking-of-water-down-the-left-tailgate-hinge thing in the daylight, but it doesn't sound like exactly the same problem as other people have posted on here. Any suggestions would be very welcome, thanks
