Default Vag-com/vcds

So, to enable video in motion, I have found these links:-

http://trick77.com/2009/07/18/enable...s-vag-com-mmi/

http://trick77.com/tools/mmi3g_vimcode.php

Has anyone tried this? And does anyone have a VAG-COM/VCDS to use / rent / borrow?

Also, need the serial number from the head unit to generate the login code. But which bit of the 3G system is classified as the "head unit"!?

Thanks

Dan

The serial number can be obtained using VCDS and scanning module 7 - Control Head so you don't need to dig it out yourself.

Thanks Manny -

On a previous forum I eventually became fairly knowledgable about the car, and I look forward to the time I can be useful to other A8 newbies! Was just about to order some removal keys too
