Default A6 C6 , MMI LCD = dead , upgraded to Android, still dead, help me obi wan!

Hi Audi world community, new member here (new audi owner)

I bought an A6 C6, drove it home in February, everything was working, wake up next morning, I kid you not, the LCD mmi unit was bricked, it would not come on at all!, no radio, additionally the control for the MMI did not light up.

I took it to an electrician, he did a scan and found nothing wrong.

I thought to myself, screw it, let's upgrade the system to an android system, as I didn't want to buy the OEM stock Audi one as its to dated to be useful.

I ordered this one : https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...38403e5f8w1Em8

The tutorials online, shows the aftermarket android unit plugging to an MMI control unit, my car does not have that, instead, I have a MMI head unit (with two SD card readers in the glowbox) the cables from the aftermarket unit will not fit in to it.

The cable does fit in to the canbus gateway module and I can then daisy-chain the original canbus gateway module cable.

The (now android) mmi will not come on (seems to be the same issue as the original stock one)

I googled/youtubed, a bit and found that the control panel sometimes go





es, so I ordered and provided the electrician with a new circuit board for the control panel (4F1919611R) he installed it, but still no luck

I have also attached a copy of the scan, i'm hoping you guys have some ideas. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you

Car : 2009 A6 3.0 Quattro
