On a 2009 Q7 (LHD) the above procedure does not work. The SW version is 5570. Is there any other way to reset MMI? I am trying to do it because the Reversing camera stopped working and the Navigation says “Please enter the DVD” even though the Map DVD is in the changer in the boot…
Please check if you don’t have a leak in your trunk. Check all modules under the floor.
audi a6 2009 mmi not work
I have a 2017 A4 Allroad and the MMI reset was easy but didn’t solve my problem; Vehicle Drive Select is in Red and won’t let me change the drive mode (into off road or otherwise). Trunk door foot release isn’t working either. What a pain!
Best if you run diagnostic of your car.

How do you clear the call logo on Audi a1 screen?
My battery died and when I jumped the car, the screen will not turn on at all. I tried the three button trick with no luck. Any other suggestions?
Check fuses.
Checked fuses. Ordered new radio and installed. Testing now but nothing. Hard reset goes to welcome screen then off. Is there a safe code?
Audi Q7 09plate mmi system won’t boot and no lights on my control panel any help welcome many thanks
Start with checking fuses. Then best if you run full system diagnostics with VCDS or other diagnostic tool.
Software or hardware problem? I have Audi MMI 2g and sat nav disc which work fine for 5-10 mins then message to say media not recognised, if I reset using 3 buttons it starts to work then goes off again. Also seems laggy and slow now as well. Disc is not scratched.
Thanks
I would try with different disc anyway. The run a full diagnostic scan on the car.
Thank you for the post. My mmi it’s on black screen. I don’t know to reset total the mmi.
If possible use diagnostic tool to check for faults in MMI and related units (GPS, amplifier, phone).
