Good morning. Recently the audio system in my Audi Q7 2009 stopped working. The MMI does come on but not speakers. Any advice as to how to it? Your response will be appreciated.

[@homeoftheobsessed1168]

It could be that your amplifier is completely dead but before you assume that I would check your amplifier which is located in the trunk. I would unplug it and replug, you will see unlatch plastic cable you disconnect. Hope that helps, I would also check for any water damage in the amplifier section since that section is prone to have water leak from the windshield wipers.

Hi there. Thanks for the video. I have a 2011 Q5 which has the menu functions on the front and not near the gears. The one you have is later version (2011 later version or premium version had menu console near the gears). My AMI cable has usb at one end and doesn't recognise the usb when attached. Also in the media settings, AMI is greyed out even though usb is connected. I tried reset settings and it did reset but still AMI is greyed out. I don't have Menu button that i can press with other buttons as you suggested for hard reset unless you want to give me any alternative solution please. Can you help? Thanks

What’s year for your model Q5? I’m guessing you have lost your subscription signal for SiriusXM when you did the factory reset. Within in the MMI options do you see FM/AM and Sirius option on the screen? You might have to re enable the connection. I found this useful article that might help.

[@janetbarnes7638]

Hi, I have a 2016 Q3. I have two concerns. When I start the car the language is in German. In addition, the words do not appear on digital display. The radio works fine and the words appear, but none of the words appear for all the other functions such as media, car, menu, phone (can't see my phone list). I tried using the fix you recommended but nothing happens. This problem started about two weeks after we changed the battery (not from dealer). Do you have any other suggestions?

[@homeoftheobsessed1168]

Your situation suggests a common issue with new battery installations. When replacing the battery, coding changes are necessary in the system, typically done with tools like OBDeleven or VAGCOM. For Audi OEM batteries, updating the BEM code is crucial. If it's an aftermarket battery, the process becomes more intricate, involving duplicating the code for system acceptance. If you lack the required tools, I advise you to take your car to an Audi authorized dealer. I hope that helps.

[@janetbarnes7638]

Thank you for your response. I was trying not to go to the dealer, but it looks like that is my only choice.

can this fix a tire pressure malfunction problem with the main system in the computer

[@homeoftheobsessed1168]

It can potentially if a communication glitch is present with your TPMS sensors and the MMI. From my understanding there’s a specific fuse for the TPMS.

[@D00ubleEE]

@@homeoftheobsessed1168 yeah I think I have a glitch because my tires are fine but the tire pressure is still there and I just put air in today ha

[@homeoftheobsessed1168]

If this doesn’t work another option is to reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) within in your MMI. It just depends on your year model. If you choose the car button on panel Select Service Checks Look through the menu for Tire Pressure Monitoring and it should give you a option to store and reset it.

Hey mate, just had my fuse blow for the reverse camera and cigarette sockets which is on the same fuse. Got it changed and they are working now, problem now is when ever i turn on ignition or the car the reverse camera stays on and cant be removed (so on even on high speeds)when i remove the fuse the park aid only works, cigerate lighters dont and system works fine Would you have come across this before?😅 Thank you!

[@homeoftheobsessed1168]

Hi, I haven’t much exposure to the fuses on these cars yet. I can you tell that the MMI is the brain of these cars. It seems to me that MMI needs to be re calibrated or re synced. Something you can check is the camera display is switched to On. My car has these options 1. Click Car button 2. Car Systems 3. Driver Assist 4. Parking Aid 5. Ensure the Display is ON position. These steps might vary depending on year model of your Audi. It seems to me that the camera isn’t getting feedback for speed and transmission gear. Let me know if this resolves the issue.

In the truck of most Audis you’ll find a amplifier. It’s usually located on the drivers side(on the side). If you open the cover. That technically sometimes has glitches which can cause the sound not to work. If you disconnect and reconnect, that might resolve the issue with the sound. I hope that helps.

@@homeoftheobsessed1168 well I keep adding to it since it is my music card for music in the car. I had one last thing that I didn't check and also thought was highly unlikely and that is the SD adaptor. My PC only takes the tiny SD card and the Audi the older larger SD cards. Although I couldn't imagine the adpator to be the culprit, it actually was!!! I changed the adapter and sure enough it works again. That adaptor is so simple and just contacts as you will know yet it actually failed. I also found another video like yours that described the reset as with my S6 knobs (the same really) and that reset functions (but didn't solve my problem as the problem was as said my defect mini to larger SD card adaptor).

@@homeoftheobsessed1168 Indeed. I was actually getting most annoyed with my Audi which has cost me a lot of money in the last 2 years in repairs (no comparison to my BMWs in the past that were far less prone to any problems) and then suddenly I couldn't listen to my music anymore either (radio over here is dreadful and never plays my type of stuff) thinking heck now the MMI is defect! So I was really getting hacked off. But I can't blame that one on Audi. It was simply a pure step by step process of elimination and I just thought, well try that since it's the last thing I can test. I've never had something as simple as an SD card adaptor fail!! 😮😂 I think I will get a large SD to USB adaptor so as to leave the mini SD in situ in the adaptor since I think the constant removal and reinsertion into the SD adaptor will be the problem, they're just not designed to handle such frequent removal and re-insertion which is what I had to do each time I added a new track! 🙂
