A6 C6 , MMI LCD = dead , upgraded to Android, still dead, help me obi wan!
Hi Audiworld, I originally put this on reddit, but was advised that I may have better luck trying with you, i'm hoping you can share some of your infinite wisdom
I bought an A6 C6, drove it home, 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, no screen, 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 will attach the scan results)
I thought to myself, screw it, lets 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 still 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 goes, 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
