Unhappy "Device fault" message on MMI for CD changer

While changing from one CD to another, I suddenly got the message "Device fault" on my MMI screen. Tried the 'Tel' + 'MMI select Button + 'top right button' to reset the whole MMI but still not working and it's now completely dead all other MMI functions work

Anybody else had this before? I listen to CDs almost all the time and I'm always changing between CDs so it does get a lot of use.

Does sound like the CD changer may have died.. Could have just jammed on a disc.. Sounds like the ideal time to upgrade to an AMI

Not sure about the AMI upgrade. All I want is a simple CD change in working order lol. Around £100 on ebay for a replacement by the looks of it...

the component protection will kick in as well if you change these units so factor in a trip to the dealers

or before writing it off, try to fix the one you have,

try this

power off, keys out, mmi off
remove the unit from the media position with the audi unlocking key thingy
carefully detach the most cable at the rear,
leave of for 5 mins or so, then reattach the cables

power up and give it a try, shouldnt need to reboot the mmi

Ah yes, didn't think of the theft protection. I assume the 'Audi keys' are two prongs which remove the unit? Like what are used on the head unit of other cars?

I definitely don't have any of those
