Hi all, this is my first post on this forum.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any other threads that seem to cover the issues that I am experiencing.
I am having trouble with the MMI 2G high system in my B8 S4. The vehicle is a Japanese import into New Zealand and there are a number of issues that have arisen which I have listed below:
Missing settings from car menu e.g. Drive select
Settings that do exist are failing to change i.e. the clock is stuck at 0:00 01/01/2000 and refuses to update when I change it
Reversing camera module and camera itself both exist and are wired up but do not work
AMI module shows up in engineering mode but does not work
Telephone connects to bluetooth but stuck on 'please wait...' screen
Radio reception weak but does receive NZ frequencies
Sound settings menu lights up when button pressed but does not display on screen or allow me to change anything
The radio is the Bang & Olufsen system.
One thing that I have noticed is that for some reason the HW number for the MMI is D3-HU which corresponds to an '04 A8 and not an 09' S4. I figured that when the vehicle was imported, the module was changed to the D3 unit which is running software version 11.1.0.
Would I be able to fix the issues mentioned above with a direct swap of a B8-HU unit for the D3-HU and removing consumer protection? Or are there other issue that may arise when doing so.
Note: I do not have access to hidden green menu.
I have enclosed a number of images below, trying to display the problem as best I can.
