Cant enable hidden green menu

[limoncello]

no go to 07 Control Head

goto channel 11

then read

if ther is a number that can be read, note it down, Add 256 to the number, and enter the result of that back in and test

if it accepts it, save the changes

reboot the MMI and see if the AV1 and AV2 are there

[limoncello]

bump

did it work?

[A8Pete]

Sorry. I have been away from the car since your last post. I should be back to try it this afternoon. Will report back as soon as ive tried it. Thanks again for all this. Much appreciated.

[A8Pete]

OK. So I went into module [07] head unit and then [10] adaptation then entered channel 11 and go the message "channel not available"

Looks like you are doing it correctly - maybe the MMI firmware you have is tool old and it was a feature added in a later version?

[limoncello]

very strange , so you have no access to the hidden menu and the channels for the AV dont work, are you using a proper cable from gendan or ross tech?

[limoncello]

just read that the first versions of mmi firmware didnt have access to the screen for hidden menu, likewise lots of stuff will not be available to you

the mmi should show you what firmware you have currently

you may need to bring it up to date

if your bluetooth is worling fine i would just do disk 1 of the 5570 firware

So it would be interesting to understand what MMI version you're on and to see your ECU 17 scan.

I also think you may have isuues with the Adaptation due to your 'label file'. If you scan the ECU it will indicate the label file used by VCDS. Then go and look at the file in the LABELS folder with Notepad.

This is what mine looks like:

** ECU Scan data - I'm at 5570 **

================================================== =

VCDS needs an appropriate Label file to do the adaptations, so suggest you identify your label file and look at what it's got for A008 ...

PS You're using a VERY OLD version of VCDS too

[limoncello]

the label file will be there in the vcds system, depending on what version is downloaded

but he cant access those chans , can only be the firmware

[Delboy]

Is it a genuine copy of Vcds or a cheap hack from eBay

If it's legit I recommend you update to the latest Vcds and try again
