Default MMI Hidden Menu

To enable the MMI hidden menu use VAGCOM:

1) Connect to Controller 7 - Interfacebox
2) Goto Adaptation
3) Select Channel 8
4) Change 0 to 1
5) Test and Save
6) Exit

Now you can access the menu by holding Setup + Car.

Be careful selecting boxes you are unsure of, if needed ask here!!

Whatever you do, do not tick START BOOTLOADER.

"Whatever you do, do not tick START BOOTLOADER. "

That's a red rag to a Bull!

What does it do anyway?

It starts a special process to re-flash the basic firmware of the system and it needs some special disks/processes to fix.

It's kind of like clicking a 'please format my hard drive and set fire to my windows disks' button.

Hi Guys
Is there anything in the hidden MMI memory to make it worth getting at
Cheers

A couple of bits and bobs, but nothing too exciting for the average user.

Though this is only on the D3 'proper' MMI

i used this to enable a display for oil level in the car and systems part of the mmi .. only works if your car is fitted with the relivent oil level sensor in the sump. if you dont have it they are 89+vat from a tps ... just tell them its a 2009 D3 W12 and they work to give a display of oil level just like the battery level display

Old sensor: 06E 907 660

New one: 03C 907 660 H
