I have a 2013 Audi Q5. I would like to activate the Battery Feature. When I press CAR+MENU.. nothing happens. Which keys do I press to see the HIDDEN MENU. Thanks.
Audi A5 can be equipped with MMI 3G system or simple stereo. Both are using colour LCD screen. If you have MMI 3G, then there should not be MENU button but SETUP button.
You guys should add a video on how to enable visual park assist on audi a6 c6 which have front or rear sensors, that’ll be great.
Hi Mr.Fix and Others,
I have
Car: Audi Q7 [2015] Australia
MMi 3G plus
Managed to enable the hidden green menu from your instructions.
Tried to enable the Battery Level Status [I understand that your info is for 2G and 3G] but unfortunately the above process is not working for 3G+ [of course]. Waiting for your 3G+ instructions regarding this and many more.
Hi! Unfortunately Battery Level activation procedure for MMI 3G+ is currently unknown.
I have audi a6 4f 2.0tdi 2012 but it has menu button instead of Setup…how can i enter green menu…. I dont know which mmi version is that 2g or 3g…car is equipped with bose audio ,2 sd slots and six cd changer. no maps, no touchpad
Software version is rmc_eu_p11474
You don’t have MMI. You have RMC. Sorry.
Hi,
I own a audi q7 with mmi sw au-hu 5140 0731.
I cannot acces the green menu. How can i do that?
Thank you for your time and for posting great videos.
unlock it first with VCDS or other diagnostic interface.
Hello Mr-fix,
Sorry if this has been handled before, but: it is a way to add personalised navigation voicings for MMI-3G+? Some way of retrieving and replacing backing audio commands would be great, as well as command pacing. I’ve recently updated a 2014 A4 US model to EU nav, but hate the Dutch voice!
Hi! There are some experts that can do it (they created polish version of the MMI 3G system with voice commands) but I don’t think that they will share how to do it yourself as they sell this upgrade.
I have a audi q7 2007 is there a way I can find out if I have mmi2g or mmi3g?
That’s MMI 2g. 3G was introduced 2-3 years later.
Hi mr-fix i have MMI 2G HIGH will i have this option in this MMI ? I have it updated to 5570 but can’t find it . many thanks
Hi Mr.Fix.It! I am an Audi A6 3.2l Quattro,MMi High Version 2g w/update 5.5.70:
I read in an Audi TSB USA that reloading the MMI update software package would
correct battery drain/sleep mode settings to correct dead battery about ever three days. I have MMI update 4LO 998 961 installed in my European Vehicle .
The battery is not an Audi battery (Varta). My battery is CAR/CAR Ca/Ca/ 95A 850A a/EN without a BEM Code sticker. I’ve removed the 5 Amp Fuse in the Rt/side dash fuse bank Nr. 1 which shut down MMI,Radio,CD Chngr. Navi.& BlueTh. resulting in the Perisitic Drain stopped.
Can you confirm that TSB recommended Software reload will correct this battery drain problem?
Thanks
Jim
No-one will confirm that 100% remotely. Sorry.

Hi Mr. Fix, trust you are doing great,
I have Q7 and when I get speed around 10km the display goes sleep/off.
Can I disable this function and force it to stay awake?
Thank you in advance.
Mr fix it I was doing the battery level mod in green menu and saw that my transmission was set to front wheel drive and there is a option for Quattro, so I changed it to Quattro because I have a 2015 Audi Q7 TDI Quattro but now my Mmi screen is stuck on: Engineering
Current train version:
most train: HN+_US_AU3G_P0814
MU software: 0901
And I can’t access green menu to change it back please help!!!
have a 2013 a5 convertible. Trying to activate the sds. I have it in the green screen, but not sure what to change. There is a sds box but it will not accept to check.
Thanks
2018 Audi A6 2.0 with MMI3G. I’m having trouble getting to the green menu. My car has a hard button for “Car,” but no hard button exclusively for setup. Once I’ve hit car, I can see setup on the screen and I can rotate over to it. But when I try holding down Car and the general push button when higlighted, It only sends me to either of those two menus. Do you have any suggestions?
