Audi Navigation Mmi
Sadie
I own a 2001 RS4 avant and I recentley had some repairs done. When I came to turn on the stereo it was locked as the battery had been removed, so I go to my service history and get the code but the unit says it's "LOCKED" I can't enter a code. Nothing moves.
Anyone got any ideas what i can do to reset the unit? I own VAG-COM and have been into the radio settings to see if there is a reset function. All I can see is a reprogram button that makes my rapidly feel like I've run out of knowlegde!
You see, I have a similar problem with my Audi A8 1999. I managed to lock my navigation system, and it won't respond to anything anymore! Do I just have to turn my car on, and leave it like that for an hour, and I'll have 3 new goes?
The radio won't subtract time from the lock sequence unless it has power.. so yes you need to leave the vehicle in accessory. Not sure if leaving just the radio turned-on in your car (turn the car off, then press the power button) will work.... but it might. You could try it, but without VAG-COM to monitor the channel for a response you may be wasting your time.
You need to turn the ignition on, which problem means driving around aimlessly for a hour to avoid the battery going flat (unless you have a proper mains charger) before you'll be able to enter the code.
I have got myself locked out of my MFD several now(Golf IV) - I just leave the key turned on for about an hour then a some point the screen changes from SAFE to Enter Code at which point I will have looked up the code rather than tried to use my memory ! No need for vagcom but does need to be a continuous period, the unit does not work or anything whilst in safe mode so haven't found battery drain an issue (nor fortunately theft of the car with the keys in it !)
If the only problem is that it's locked out because you entered the wrong code then no you don't need VAG-COM, you just need the right code and to wait 1 hour with the ignition on for it to ask you for the code.
Hi. I just bought an audi a6 allroad with navi plus. the person from whom I bought the car did not know the code of navi plus and i can't use it without that code. Can somebody tell me how can i find the code??? please!
Keep heading in the right direction with the navigation functions and updates.
Always find the best and fastest route to your destination with your Audi. With the navigation functions and updates in this category, your vehicle always guides you in the right direction so that you reach every destination reliably and swiftly. Keep your Audi navigation system always up to date, to guarantee optimum and efficient route guidance.
The MMI Navigation Plus system is a $1,500 option on Premium Plus models and standard on Prestige models, so we'd say that you should probably buy it when you get the car. Barring that, find a vehicle that has it already if you're buying used, or do what we would do and just use your phone for navigation, even if it's less cool-looking.
Audi is also giving E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback buyers the chance to get in on the fun, somewhat, by offering a retroactive activation of the Light Function Package for a single $249.00 charge for the life of the vehicle. This package gives drivers dynamic cornering lights, turning lights and maneuvering lights.
The latest navigation map update data can be downloaded free of charge over a period of 3 years from the date of vehicle production, with a maximum limit of 5 downloads. The update data is then installed in the vehicle via SD card.
Short for Multi-Media Interface, MMI first appeared in the Audi A8 of 2002, where it brought together stereo, navigation and vehicle-control systems into a single electronic interface, which was then controlled by a small joystick.
Car makers have realised that new smartphones are developed and released way more quickly than new cars and are therefore more up to date, so most (including Audi with MMI) systems provide interfaces to allow your phone to talk to the infotainment system.
Around 10 years ago this might have simply comprised a Bluetooth connection allowing you to take phone calls and play music from your phone, but today CarPlay and Auto allow you to mirror your phone on the MMI screen, allowing you to access music, podcasts, navigation and more through your phone without having to touch it (therefore helping you to stay on the right side of the law.
MMI screens can be placed flush with the centre control stack, rest proud of the dashboard above the air-conditioning vents or rise up from the top of the dashboard, while on a couple of models (see below) there is no dedicated central screen at all.
The entry-level Audi A1 supermini has an 8.8-inch MMI infotainment touchscreen, and this system is known as MMI Touch. This is situated in the centre of the dashboard above the heating controls, giving you access to radio and media audio functionality, plus vehicle settings, telephone synchronisation and sat-nav (if fitted).
You simply use the touchscreen as you would a mobile phone, tapping on the icons that represent the functions you want to access, then making adjustments in a similar fashion. There is also a handwriting function that allows you to draw your finger across the screen to input letters for sat-nav routing, for example.
Moving up the range, the Audi A3 family hatch also has MMI Touch, though this is in a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen with sat-nav as standard. The MMI system in the A3 works broadly in the same manner as it does in the A1.
Debuting on the current Audi A8 that was launched in 2017, the Touch Response MMI system features two screens (three if you count the Virtual Cockpit). One screen sits above the other in the dashboard, with the top one functioning much like the system in the A1 and A3, controlling the stereo, sat-nav and vehicle settings.
The lower screen is mainly used for climate-control settings, with temperature and fan speed, plus heated-seat controls situated here. The lower screen also becomes the place where you input handwriting gestures for inputting route-guidance destinations.
The MMI system has evolved over recent years, with the previous-generation Audi A3, and early models of the current Audi Q7 featuring a screen that rises from the top of the dashboard. All current Audis have a fixed screen, though.
No. Audi Connect is an online service that is an additional feature to the MMI system. Audi Connect is an online feature that brings music streaming, parking, weather, fuel-price and other information to the MMI screen.
This depends on the model, though MMI typically offers Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a wired USB connection. Newer MMI systems come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for full smartphone mirroring; these systems tend to require plugging your phone in via USB, although wireless CarPlay and Auto are available on newer models.
Without wishing to sound like a broken record, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this. You may need to create a myAudi account and download an update to a USB drive or SD card that you can then plug into the MMI system; some updates may need to be applied by dealers, while some map updates can be delivered via wireless internet using over-the-air (OTA) technology.

Every time when I press "i nav" button on the steering wheel I can hear the voice "navigation doesnt work". How can I turn it off? I am using that button to turn on carplay box menu, and every time it is annoying when I can hear that voice in the same time.
Audi has announced that you can now add navigation to some of its existing infotainment systems that weren't ordered with it from the factory for the princely sum of $85 per month or $850 per year. The new subscription service can be purchased through the myAudi Marketplace in the myAudi mobile app.
The subscription service is available for select 2021 models of the Audi Q5, Q5 Sportback, A4, A5 Premium and Premium Plus, along with the E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback. To offer some price perspective, the full experience can be purchased for $85 a month, while just Wi-Fi connectivity can be added for $49 a month and basic navigation can be added for $36 a month.
Subscribers will gain access to a whole host of features including the popular real-life satellite view, natural speech recognition, and handwriting recognition. The newly enlarged 10.1-inch MMI touch screen on these eligible vehicles allows for even better visibility when using navigation. The system can also share a 4G LTE Wi-Fi connection with up to eight compatible devices.
While most of us probably use our smartphone for directions, there will always be customers who want a fully integrated navigation experience. The German automaker says this subscription is great for those who need short-term road trip functionality or a long-term upgrade in functionality.
Audi Navigation Plus is an in-car media and navigation system developed by Audi. Unlike the Audi Multi Media Interface, it can not control climate, convenience, suspension or engine settings. Audi Navigation Plus units were available mostly as an optional equipment instead of standard stereo systems.
The RNS-C and RNS-D devices look identical and are very similar to Volkswagen MFD[2] installed in some Volkswagen, Skoda, SEAT and Ford Galaxy cars. Across brands, the devices share the same general features, internal electronics, tiltable LCD screen and some elements of user interface. However, there often are differences between individual hardware variants.
