I have a 2006 Audi A6 that has MMI system that will start to boot, then crash and shut down. They are $1200 to replace and have proven to be a chronic problem. How can I take apart the panel and fix this myself?

First push the setup button on the MMI control, and push the MMI button that corresponds to the word "settings" on the screen, and pick "time," push the master control to enter that mode, then turn the knob to change the time. Be sure to back out of the sequence properly or the clock reverts to the previous setting.

SOURCE: MMI turns on then shuts down after about 30sec.

you nid mmi circuit board replaced,happened to me after spilling coffee,audi wanted to replace the whole thing with a new mmi system for a lot of money, but Ifound someone to change circuit board for abt £200 which is not bad,the only thing is you have to take out the whole centre console and air con unit and armrest off,so u nid some one who knows how to do it.check on tyresmoke and post from there,will respond and give you more info.The previous owner must have spilt something and panicked and sold the car without being honest.It sucks..........

SOURCE: Hi my MMI system on 2004 A6 asgone dead, no power

No solution, same problem, but had many strange moments: 4 months ago during 100 kms or so it stopped, then suddenly came back, and worked ever since. A few days ago, it started happening again: NAV stuck, then radio dead, and gradually the rest disappeared. I did a Reset, and since that moment I see the intro-screen and then it goes black. Hitting the TEL button is somehow also a Reset...

Do the previous 2 posters have anything to report on this matter? It would be VERY welcome!

Thanks,
