I have watched many videos from you! The way you explain everything is so great! Your efforts have given me the confidence to work on my 2006 A6 (C6). I've done a brake job (rotors & pads all around), changed O-rings on the variable timing solenoids (which stopped a massive oil leak the previous owner hadn't addressed), that led me to have a go at detailing the engine bay last weekend. Also, the MMI has been giving me issue ever since I took ownership two years ago. I've replaced the battery (under warranty) at least 4 or 5 times, thinking that the battery was faulty after the drain from the bad MMI. It was the Sirius radio transmitter that was bad! I bought a $10 fiber optic loop off amazon and swapped it out last weekend, came right back on just like your video! thanks so much brother! Keep your 2005 going and the videos coming! Thank you so much!

5:32 yes you are right,. That`s the XM radio, my car came without and without navigation as well, I ended up buying a used DVD Nav. for around $40 USD and used the XM Radio link cable to connect it to the antenna since it had one there already, I didn't have the XM Radio module anyway, and I didn`t want to purchase a "fakra cable" and run it trough since it had one there but wasn't used anyway... I ended up not using the navigation either, Waze can't beat yet by anything. But in the end, I purchase an MP3 Module ($140 at that time, in 2018), I place it in the glove box, upper wall compartment and I am able to play music from a Micro SD card or via Bluetooth from my phone, but I prefer from Micro SD card since it plays at 320kb like CD quality. Works with MMI interface, it displays songs on the LCD you can play/pause from the MMI console buttons which is just great!

If you replaced the CD player with a used one taken off another car, the car will reject it. To make the car accept it, you should have component protection reset on the CD player at an Audi dealership. I believe component protection is to prevent theft. Some other electronic parts also have component protection.

It has a sort of spring and a plastic ring under it. If the plastic ring is broken, you have to replace to knob. To install a new one, just push it in.

It also makes the same quiet popping sound as yours did from the speakers but I don't have the Sirius sat radio unit. I had a slightly sticky button for years but it all worked fine.

In that case only a scan may help identify what's wrong. But I am suspecting component protection. Did you replace any MMI components with a used one?

The Q7 is a jacked up A6 so yes. The MMI should work the same. The location of the module could be different though.

@@dcswings Sorry about that. Did you recently perform any work on the A/C system? Does the fan on the passenger's side kick in when you turn on the A/C? I would start with scanning the A/C system for fault codes. A scanner should help locate the failure point real fast.

The way to troubleshoot this problem is to bypass devices in the MMI loop one by one. Bypassing the Sirius Satellite module fixed mine. Yours may be another device. I listed the possible devices in the video.
