Dealer connected VCDS and told me, "multiple control units faulty. CD changer, front display control unit, sound system amplifier, radio and telephone control unit." They recommend replace all the units at a cost of $7K.
Everything worked perfectly, then bluetooth began acting up. Searched forums and found others with bluetooth issues had success by updating to version 4610. When I updated, it hung up mid way through and since then nothing works. Searching here and saw Williebone thread about replacing MMI 07 Control Head. Said he can provide with Component Protection disabled... "plug and play"... Sounded like a good place to start.
What do you think?
I'm going to buy my ownVCDS. Any recommendation on what and where to get?
Thanks!!

As Louis stated, get the optical loop tester, and as you stated that the BT started acting up first, I would lift the carpet on the front drivers side to expose the BT module and look for signs of wetness, and at the same time installing the optic loop bypass on said fiber optic connection at BT module.
Also fill in your location, or tell us where you are located so someone may be willing to help you.
And I would love to hear what you said to the dealer in response to his/her statement of "multiple control units faulty. CD changer, front display control unit, sound system amplifier, radio and telephone control unit." and " recommend replace all the units at a cost of $7K.".....

Hello Scott,

Filled in my location and would greatly appreciate anyone near Denver / Boulder CO who can offer assistance.
I've ordered the Optical loop and will let you know what I find when I pull up the carpet.
Thanks!

It obviously still worked as you were able to try and run the software update!
And what happened when you tried to update the software with the CDs that made it subsequently 'bricked'?
Julian
BTW, you might like to retry running the swupdate as sometimes that fixes it!

Hi Scott; while you wait would you like to say a bit more about how the MMI 'acted funny'?

This is the chronology with my MMI:
- Bluetooth connection to my phone stopped working. Every 20 seconds the radio would cut out for 5 seconds. MMI was trying to connect bluetooth
- Ran 4610 update CD #1 and it hung up in a never ending loop. "flashing drive" "0% progress"... repeat. "flashing drive" "0% progress"... repeat.
- Canceled update in spite of warning "May damage your system". I had no choice. It was doing the same thing for hours.
Kept trying the update with same result. But now my MMI ran very slow. Screens loading VERY slowly... none of the sources work, i.e. radio, CD, etc.)
- Kept tinkering with it and some how it popped into bootloader. I did not make it happen as my hidden green menu is not enabled. I think the system just puked and went to bootloader.
- The #1 CD was in and it said it was updating to 4610. After reboot, success! I thought I was out of the woods because it now said version was 4610.
MMI operating system was back up to full speed, screens all loaded quickly. But... still none of the sources would work. So tried the software update again (thinking perhaps the MMI main unit updated but not the other devices)
- No good. Still would not run the update and back to crippled operating system. Screens load but very slowly. It reboots constantly.
I took it to the dealer to get them to enable the green screen so I could run bootloader again and try reinstalling the software. Could not believe my ears when the shop manager told me "never heard of it"
They spent all of 10 minutes on trying and gave up.
Here's where I think I am (emphasis on "think") I have a hardware problem, probably the bluetooth, plus a software problem due to the failed 4610 update. When I get VCDS and optical loops I plan to enable the green screen, enable and run bootloader to try and get my main unit back on it's feet. Then I will see what VCDS says and rebuild from there.
Any thoughts? I've found very little commentary on using the bootloader and would love to hear from someone with that has experience with it.
Thanks!
