and when i get in the car when its been locked you can hear the speakers making a noise for a few seconds then it just stops and its dead just no life in it is there any thing i can do ? i dont have any vag com that works with my car although i may have in the next few days thanks to A8 doc god the amount of times i need vag com and just have not got it its silly now any help with this would be great  Ps where are all the brains and electrics for the MMi as i did drive through some fairly deep water the other day and i have had no problem with the MMi in the past until now im sure you have all seen the flooding in my area at the moment Last edited by daviesbike; 9th June 2012 at 12:31 PM.

Aren't these (d3s) seriously susceptible to funny business as soon as the main battery starts to go a bit sick? Just a thought but I'm only guessing!
Is it worth the old windows trick of reboot by disconnecting the battery for a bit?

I know it's a previous generation, but my SatNav has on occasion just "locked up" and turning it on and off achieves nothing.
Pulling the relevant fuse (in my case it's in the boot) for a few minutes reset it OK. It definitely needed longer than a quick in and out.

There's a 'three button salute' for the MMI too.
Press the 'Tel', main knob and top right meta-key together. My PF D3 had all manner of issues with the MMI and electrics as I was getting water in.

Fuses all OK?
If one item in the loop dies, the whole thing goes down  Check for loose connections in the media rack in the boot.
