Experience, the guys at Bose Repair Experts (BRE) are great (google them, based in Edinburgh). My HID Bulb went, I changed that over myself (with my brothers help, was a pain) and afterwards the MMI went. BRE attempted to fix it by changing one small thing on the amp board, then the whole amp...

Hi Paul, As @Jacq mentioned, its most likely a fault with the amp in the unit. Did you experience some noise in the speakers prior to this? I got Bose Sound Experts to try repair mine, but after replacing the board it didn't work. I did notice that after 30 mins it heated up loads in the middle...

I've checked mine and I have the tag on the tank, but I can't see the bag from looking in the opening.

I got a 63 plate 2.0 tdi 184.. I'll check mine tomorrow too!

:( Must be the new ones. I had a 2001 Passat 130 TDI PD... it was brilliant and sold it at 190k miles... only sold as the bodywork was rusting a bit from when I had an accident in it at around 80k miles...

Hi All, sorry to revive an old thread... I was wondering if it's a matter of plug and play with the sub unit for the audi sound system? I got a replacement MMI MIB1 that has the sub volume coded already (as I can tell the main speakers now don't have as much deep base). I've seen one on eBay...

Ouch... I feel your pain! I hope you don't get the MMI no sound issue either mate... if you hear crackling in the speakers when the volume is low... take it back and get the MMI replaced under warranty if you still have it!

Amazing work @amit87, thanks for all the effort!

I did discover something with my new unit, so... if your unit warms up in the middle of it quickly and gets very hot.... it's probably not the audio chips that are the problem as my replacement unit stays cool!

I can confirm a replacement unit was the way to go. I've spent £500, plug and play from VAGTEC and it worked a treat, and got lifetime map updates too! @Jackq, my repair guy replaced the chips, then the whole amp board, then another chip on the main board and it didn't work. Hope yours is still...

So, my saga has resorted me into buying another unit... had the chips replaced, then the whole amp board.. still no sound :( Hopefully the replacement unit on eBay will work!

Just as an update, my complaint to the motor ombudsman went no where after months of waiting. Due to it being out of warranty, they cannot do anything. To all owners, if you have a car in warranty and you start to hear a "hissing" noise in the speakers (like when an old radio signal is weak and...

@hopgop1 , I don't suppose you know what those guys did? I was wondering if they replaced the chips that @Jackq mentioned. If they did, I'd be tempted to send it to them, keep the car for 10 months with it's warranty and sell it on after. I'm not sure if I'm confident enough to cut away the space!

Cheers @Jackq , I'll see if I can find someone to replace the chips for both. The thermal grease I can sort myself which is good. Do you know if the unit still gets hot after about 30 mins? You can check this out without removing it and just sticking you hand on it in the glove box.... mine does...

@Jackq , were you able to confirm after changing the chips it worked? @Cooz92 , did you manage to get the board changed at all? I'm awaiting a case I have raised with the motor ombudsman, but I feel like I might have to sort this myself. I found a supplier for the NXP chips for a tenner, but no...

Cheers Jackq, I'm having a dispute with Audi UK at the moment, so have to take and pay for a diagnostic to the Birmingham garage first. Hopefully they'll conclude it's the 5F unit fast, and I can get Audi UK to do something about it (as it's a common problem!)

How have you been getting on with your dispute with Audi? I am too looking at doing this as I've not heard of any head unit failing on any car this often.

Has yours gone again now?

Hi there, are you still helping people for a quick diagnostic on my A3 8v (MMI no sound)?
