77 is within 5f

Unsure what your asking, have you retro fitted 3g or activated the phone

push to talk should work or look at address 16 coding

Anyone knows about 2G? Can we enable the oil temp meter? Or there is no oil temp for 2G? Thanks

There are several fora and websites which give info on how to access the hidden menu to activate other nice features however I found that the most widely publicised method didn't appear to work for me so after some googling and lots of reading I found an owner called Mike with a similar issue who had found a different method which he's kindly shared and I thought I post here for all in case you want it and to save searching.

Firstly the secret menu must be enabled with VCDS beforehand.

[5F - Information Electr.]
[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 6 -> Change 0 to 1
Save and Exit.

Next -

Press/Release car (turns red)
Press/Release setup (turns red)
Press/Hold car & setup at same time for approx 6 seconds (setup button red light goes out)
Release both buttons then press setup again.

To exit the Hidden Menu you need to restart the MMI -

Press and hold down the function keys (Setup), the control button (Joystick centre button) and the control key at the top right simultaneously until the MMI system shuts down. Release the keys and the MMI system reboots.

Tapping the wealth of knowledge on here............what is the function of 3G ? Is it a standard fit or only available with BT and or Sat Nav ? Trying to suss what goodies to look out for when I eventually see the right car ..........................Soon I hope

Scotty · Sep 25, 2011

3G simply refers to the MMI being the 3rd Generation. It's not a function in itself.

You get better screen resolution, quicker response, 3D images on the Satnav etc etc

3G came in with the MY2010 models around July 2009. Beware that even if you buy a car with satnav after this date it may not be the full thing as the DVD based satnav was still available. The easiest way to tell is ;

Non satnav car :

2G Satnav cars have the MMI rotaty controller down by the arm test.

3G satnav cars have a little thumb joystick on the top of the MMI rotary controller.

Cheers scoTTy that has cleared the fog a bit ! I think I have a hell of a lot to get to grips with here LOL. The car I have come across is an 09 but not sure how far in to 09 it was registered/manufactured, have e-mailed the dealer to ask so lets hope he know what it is !!!

clansman · Sep 25, 2011

This is the interior I am thinking it is only a 2G unit!?

Scotty · Sep 25, 2011

Hard to tell from that pic. You should be aware that the changes for the MY2010 cars were quite a lot. At least a lot more in any year before or since. Check out this document :

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3628815/Car/A4/Model year 2010 changes and pricing.doc

Personally I'd try and get the later car due to the benefits not least the quieter wing mirrors.

Not sure what the above one is though. I suspect an earlier car based on the glimpse of the mirrors. Also since it's a manual, if it's a 2.0T or a 2.0TDI then it's an earlier car as the later ones have Stop/Start and a button under the coin holder (the slot thing near the gear shift).

clansman · Sep 25, 2011

Any help?

Oh and thanks for the link............yeah I am thinking along that line too

Scotty · Sep 26, 2011

I'd say it's MY2009 but during transition there's always a few off build cars.

Simple thing is to ask the dealer

clansman · Sep 26, 2011

He confirmed it is a 2G model, not sure if it is possible to "upgrade " to 3G ? If that is possible then could be a green for go

Scotty · Sep 27, 2011

Technically it is but financially it isn't. Once you've thrown the £3k+ at it then it's obviously worth just buying a newer car.

clansman · Sep 28, 2011

3K !!! That's a lot of Tom Toms LOL....... I get the picture now thanks for the heads up scoTTy..............again

Anyone can help my question above ? i am still looking for this SDS function , thanks

evans1089 · Jun 25, 2014

I cannot access the controller.. Keeps saying there's no response from controller. Any ideas why?

B5NUT · Jun 25, 2014

Do you which MMI is fitted to you car is it 3G or 2G? Can you access controller 07

evans1089 · Jun 26, 2014

No, won't let me access it, looking at a couple of pictures, I think I have 2G non Nav..

B5NUT · Jun 26, 2014

If you don't have navigation then you won't be able to access the 5F module as it will not be fitted to your car.

Oh I see! Thanks

so for all the VCDS mods that require activation of the hidden menu, impossible for me?

B5NUT · Jun 26, 2014

It's only for MMI 3G systems, that have navigation with the 5F module installed.

Dear all,

I have installed rnse to audi a4/b7 2008. I cannot do coding on 77 telephone. Vcds cannot see this option. I bought BT modul. My car has mfsw. How can I activate that option? How can I use mfsw?

Thanks many

allanmb · Jan 21, 2015

as far as I am aware, RNS-E is not compatible with the B8 cars - or at least it was never fitted to any from factory

Thanks for quick respond.

Have you got any suggestion? What should I do to use it?

Thanks many many

allanmb · Jan 21, 2015

I would ask in the B7 section - they will be more clued up for you

Hi Gents,

I am a new owner of a 2013 Audi A4 B8. I just wanted to find out about the topic at hand. You say after you accessed the VIM you able to watch a video displaying on the on board screen.

Do you have to have a Navi installed or can this feature be added in without any extras being fitted?

Does the normal display play the videos 100%?

B5NUT · Dec 17, 2015

Concert & Symphony units will not play any dvd's or video files. If you you have MMI 3G then it will play DVD's but not movies of the SD. If you have MMI 3GP then you can play both DVD's & movies off an SD card.

Movies played from an SD card will only work if they are encoded with the correct resolution & frame rate.

We need to know what system you have,

I have a Audi Concert System. Is it worth keeping? Are there any tricks you guys can share with me to get the best out of it?

B5NUT · Dec 17, 2015

Nothing much you can do with the concert system, you could rip it out and replace with a 3GP system, but it's a lot of work and a fair few quid.

You could also replace with something like this http://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/audi-a4-a55141/x701d-a4r but it's around £1500.
