Hi again everyone. Apologies for late reply, was off work Fri. Did not even switch on computer on Fri night, as enjoying the happy alternative of excess alcohol
Anyway. I returned to Tamworth Audi on Friday (mystery rear tyre deflation) and had a chat with tech.
They are very vague about MMI upgrades. I figure this perhaps has something to do with considerable time these can take, and also lack of know how so covering with bluster.
I did discover that the Hidden MMI Menus can be accessed by pressing Return & Car simultaneously (not Setup & Car as advised elsewhere on the net.
So Amar and Mike. I'm no longer in need of your kind and generously offered help with the VAG COM.
Anyone trying to access the hidden menus, be warned. You have to hit Return & Car nano second simultaneously. It can take many, many attempts to do this, but once you succeed, you will be presented with a screen full of pure meaningless but enticing gibberish.
I now need a gibberish decoder, then I can get to work on it
Thanks guys for your amazing offers of help
I'll post any results to my meddling
