S8 battery level in MMI
Hello everybody,
Drove the, new to me, 2008 S8 from Baltimore to home, around 700 miles this weekend, what a car. I'm still getting us to it since it is different than the D3A8 that I still have ( for sale ) . One thing that I have realized is that there is no battery level in the MMI menu, I have searched in the archives since I remember that there were a lot of posts on the topic but I'm not able to find anyhting. Is there any way to enable this or should I go to the dealer and let them do it.
Thanks,
Dan

After you close & reboot, should something happen? I did go into hidden menu and checked off box for battery level but where can I see it?

Got it. just couldn't reboot using the 3-finger salute. Had to use vag-com to reboot. There it was, just like u said.
Now I cannot go back to hidden menus...help?
EDIT:
Got it going. Just afraid I may break something...

To reboot without Vag-Com try pressing "Tel" + "MMI Control ****" + "Upper Right Selection Button" instead of "Setup" + "MMI Control ****" + "Upper Right Selection Button", for some reason the A8 reboot procedure is different to everything else.

I can go into the other settings but not "CAR".
Will reboot and try again.

I guess I'm late to this game. Got the hidden menu all figured out. Tried the enable battery level. Everything appears to have worked. Still no battery level.
Ugh. Reset several times with the 3 finger option, shut car down and restarted. No change.
Help?
