Good News For MMI Out of Poland!
MP4, it's me the A8 Blues Post! The Blues are Over, but I'm Chiming In regarding the MMI 07-Control Head. I received mine a few days ago from Naviservice (Poland) and sure enough, the moment I plugged it in, My MMI Fired Right Up as if nothing ever happened. They removed Component Protection, pre-programmed it for my Year, Make & Model with my Existing Modules (CD/Nav/etc....) and even threw in a Free S8 Screen Logo or Any One or your Choosing for that matter. They said it would come with Latest SW Version, but I think that it must be Current Update for your Car's Year as my SW Version is only the 27s so I will have to Update to the 33s before moving up to Version 4610. My Online Audi Tech that I often BrainStorm with assures me that 4610 requires no Pre-Updates anymore, but I'm not sure that is Correct Info. Anyway, the Naviservice is a BIG 2 THUMBS UP!
Just be patient though, it can take up to 3 weeks to receive the Unit and so that's why my Post went Dead as I decided to to Take The Plung and spend $360. So, for all that have Fried Their MMI Control Head by doing Updates or in my case Voltage Surge, say Goodby to your Dealership's Sticker Shock ($1000+). Ye The Wicked MMI has an Angel and she's Cheap!
Laters,

Swapping out the Interface box was a breeze. In the A6 I am sure it is a bit differne than the A8. On the A6 you simply remove the glovebox a total of 5 8mm small bolts, and the interface box is right above the area where the glovebox would be. Unscrew the two torx screws holding it in place, disconnect the 3 wires going to it and swap it out and your back up and running!
Thanks to NAVISERVE in Poland I am back up and running for $1100 less than what the dealer wanted.
