Thanks, tried this on my B8 A4 and 5F didn't connect and timed out, guess my MMI is not the same one, is more basic. Followed your tutorial on checking battery condition and that worked though so will be sorting out a new battery.
Yeah mine isn’t so smart! But thanks was able to check the condition following your other instructions and have just ordered a new Varta F21. Battery lasted 10 years and only played up in cold weather so haven’t done badly!
Honestly, you are not missing out, because the battery level display is not accurate at all. For example, the car reports the battery to be 72% charged and this battery indicator in the MMI shows it at 100%. So, even by having this, only a vcds tool can give you the real battery charge level.
@@achristofides AGM batteries last longer than old lead acid and they are pretty reliable in cold weather. I replaced my Varta/VW OEM 105Ah AGM from 2009 this week because I thought it is worn out, but it is nod bad (I discovered that I had other problem in car and it was draining battery (water in trailer lights controller).
@@kamila3366 yeah it’s impressive really and considering the cars have stop/start so frequently having to start the engines unlike in older cars with the more traditional batteries. That’s newer battery technology for you.
Thanks for video i was wondering if it would cause me any proplems turning oil level off as my dashboard keeps telling me to put oil in but i use a dip stick and check regularly and its fine?
Probably the microswitch in the bonnet latch is stuck, you can check this with the screen in the cockpit binnacle, the bonnet should be red if it is opened. The are a couple of videos on TH-cam how to do this.
I own an Audi A4 B8 2009 2.0 TDI and want to access module 5F, but it is not on the screen with active modules so I browse to it. When I want to access it, I get an error 'No response from interface'. How can I resolve this problem?
@@UltimateDIY Yes ignition on and engine like normal, does not work. Even with engine work the module doesn't seem to be recognised. Thanks for the rest of the video though! Very helpful already
It works only for pre-facelift as far as i know. I couldn't manage to do this on my 2013 A4. Activated the hidden menu and ticked the necessary items, but it doesn't work.
Nice video. I have activated the didden menu and applied all the steps. Can you explain clearly the order of buttons pressed to restart the MMI please. Many thanks
lol thx again. i activated the battery lvl last year but it was on the menu. i didnt put the lvl to 5. gonna try that :). how did you add the temperature in your mmi display
Thank you. Do I need to enter some password/login to do adaptations in VCDS? Or it just works? I'm waiting for Ross Tech HEXv2 delivery and I'm wondering if coding and adaptations are really that "simple", or do I have to do something before writing data to controllers.
It's that simple. If you need a password, it will be shown by the software when entering. Just make sure you save your old coding, so you can always go back to factory settings. And never change unknown things, as you can cause quite big problems.
Thanks for the link to reboot the MMI :) I will try this later today. Another question can i do this process with engine on. My battery is weak and message appears "battery weak and will switch off in 3 min" I dont want cut-off middle of this process. Thats main reason i wanted this menu so i can check the monitor after i replace battery.
Salut, felicitări pt ceea ce faci, ne este de mare ajutor. Poți te rog sa îmi spui cum activez computerul de bord? Îmi arata doar range, am display ul acela roșu și butoanele sunt sus lângă clima, nu lângă schimbătorul de viteze. Stimă..
Salut. Stiu ca nu are treaba cu clipul asta dar vad ca stii despre a4 b8, eu am pe masina mmi 3g low, ai idee daca si cum pot vedea video pe navigatie de pe card? Am tot citit si incercat mai multe tipuri de conversii si nimic nu merge. Merci
Salut, nu este posibil. Există însă kituri cu ecrane touch-screen, care se aplică peste ecranul original. Sunt exact ca o pelicula și au un nivel limitat de integrare cu meniul sistemului original de pe mașină, dar funcționează destul de bine.
salut, un a4 b8, ledul de la frana de mana electrica de jos de langa schimbator sta aprins, la fel si martorul din bord si dupa ce sting motorul si scade bateria. o solutie ceva?
Salut. E normal sa stea aprinse. Sunt singurele lucruri care iti arata ca ai frana de mana trasa. Se sting la ceva timp dupa ce inchizi masina. Nu am verificat niciodata exact cat.
ceva a consumat bateria peste noapte, am crezut ca e asta. e recent luata ce ar putea sa consume? luminile stinse, singurele lucruri aprinse dupa ce am oprit motorul si incuiat masina au fost martorul de frana de mana din bord si ledul de jos.
bună ! văd ca știi despre audi a4 b8! am și eu acest model și mi s-a întâmplat chestia următoare: când dau sa șterg parbrizul cu ștergătoarele, mi se aprinde eroare de bec pt stopuri, mi se opresc toate luminile din bord ( ceasuri, lângă schimbător ) și navigația se aprinde într-un mod deranjant ( la intensitate maxima). in aceasta seara am observat, ca de asemenea, când îmi apare aceasta eroare, deși farurile sunt doar pe poziție ( este aprins decât led-ul), mi se aprind farurile dintr-o data, chiar dacă mașina nu este pe auto. ce crezi ca poate fi? o pun mâine pe tester, dar as vrea sa știu ce crezi.. mulțumesc !
Buna! Foarte ciudat ce se intampla si nu am intalnit niciodata asta. Unele motive ar putea fi: codari incorecte (asta daca ai schimbat codari recent), ecu dat peste cap (poate deconectarea bateriei pentru o perioada de timp il reseteaza), scurt circuit in cabluri (pur si simplu modulele primesc semnale aiurea unele de la altele), baterie cu probleme (ar trebui sa faca asa ceva si la pornire sau la activarea altor consumatori mari). Dar sunt chiar curios ce erori o sa gasesti la scanare.
Ultimate DIY mulțumesc frumos, o sa scriu aici ce îmi da pe tester! I-am făcut soft acum doua saptamani, dar nu cred ca de la asta este problema, adică nu văd unde ar fi, ce legătura ar avea softul cu luminile ? problema aceasta se întâmpla doar când pornesc stergatoarele, iar după aceea eroarea dispare, după ce se sting luminile și navigația se aprinde foarte tare. pana acum nu mi s-a mai întâmplat, astăzi de dimineața a apărut problema
Since doing this, my MMI now will not come back on. It will load intermittenty for a short moment and then go out within 2 seconds. I already had the green menu activated and have used before to add audi drive select no problems. Any ideas why adding the battery monitor would now do this? Thanks

Hello.This mode working in B8 2015 2.0 TDI 190KM CNHA?
Hello. Probably it will work, if you have MMI.
@@UltimateDIY Thanks
Very nice trick, one question, do you know how to show oil level on the small screen by dashboard instead of big screen since i got it damaged?
Sorry, but I don't know if it's possible.
5F no response from controller! Vcds 23.3.1 why..?
Wow... Thank you!
Welcome!
Nice video. I have activated the didden menu and applied all the steps. Can you explain clearly the order of buttons pressed to restart the MMI please. Many thanks
I have a video for that: th-cam.com/video/iOew5tegGIA/w-d-xo.html
B8.5 hidden menu?
lol thx again. i activated the battery lvl last year but it was on the menu. i didnt put the lvl to 5. gonna try that :). how did you add the temperature in your mmi display
Welcome! I did not add it. I think my type o ac has the set interior temperarure there.
Can it be done on the Concert radio ????
Sorry, but I don't know anything about Concert.
Thank you for all your videos. Great tutorials.They helped me a lot. I have a question, what does 5 value mean in the battery setup menu?
Thank you for watching!
Sadly I don't know about that value.
B8.5 compatible?
As far as I know, yes.
@@UltimateDIY i don’t know hidden menu T.T

Bad news its showing 2 bars LOL . Its time for new battery.
Yup... :(

Welcome!
Salut! Am intrat la carextdevicelist si imi apare in plus “Trailer” si “Driver Monitoring”. Nu stii ce semnificatie au?
Nu am idee, dar nu activa chestii pe care masina nu le are fizic.

Din pacate nu stiu nimic despre display-ul rosu.
followed the steps. doesnt work on 2017 audi q3 quattro 2L TFSI
As far as I know that is a different platform. It should work on earlier models.
For Q5 2015 …OK?
Not really sure about that, as I don't know when Q5 changed generations.
Does it work with mmi 2g high?
I do not know.
This doesn't work on my 3G+ mmi why? 😓
I do not know.
@@UltimateDIY thanks
I believe its different procedure to access Hidden menu on 3G MMI. Search on YT for "3G Hidden Menu", another person have the tutorial for 3G posted.
What software do I need to connect to the car? I have a basic code reader.
I use a cheap VCDS clone interface. You can find them on ebay.
@@UltimateDIY do these work? I know vcds doesnt support 3rd party cables or at least not any more but I dont wanna spend $380AUD on one
Yes, clones work with the cracked software that comes with them.
Salut! Nu ești cumva de la Cluj? Aș vrea și eu această activare

Activating this can't result in your problem. Are you sure it's not a failed coding? Either something else changed by mistake or failed write.
Salut. Ai avut probleme cu MMI-ul (a4b8)? Se stingea in timpul mersului iar acum nu se mai aprinde deloc!
Salut. Nu am avut. La mine doar din cand in cand porneste mai greu.
@@UltimateDIY mersi frumos pt raspuns. Probabil va trebui sa merg pana in final la un electrician auto.
