With the aid of your super video, I was able to replace the plastic (fake metal) trim around the gear shift on my 2010 A6. Although you were addressing another situation, your pictures and audio clearly showed me how to replace that nasty trim piece. During a below-zero stretch of 3 days, the metallic-looking finish on the trim piece distorted and bubbled up. Looked very bad. Dealer said it would be about $1,000 to tear into the console, find that trim and replace it. "BS"!. I ordered the piece from Audi for $60 and with your video as a guide, installed it myself... took 30 minutes. Thanks, man. GREAT video.

Thanks for this great, easy to understand, and complete video. I found that two “side pull” bicycle spokes with spoke nipples and washers or knobs work great for pulling the rear air vent. Saves a bit of money. It takes a surprising amount of force to pull the vent out. I spilled half a cup of coffee all over the MMI buttons - seemed okay for a bit, then everything flashed bright, the display turned off and the buttons stopped working. Following these instructions I managed to take things apart, then I washed the plastic and metal parts, and cleaned the circuit board with alcohol and Qtips. I used an anti static bag (from a PC motherboard) to keep the electronics safe. I put it all back together and everything worked fine! DIY... always better!

@wawayltd10 ай бұрын
It's an electric switch. It also has a light to see when it's active. I'm not professional, so I don't know where the actual parking brake controller is. If the switch is cheap to buy, i think it would be worth to try to replace the switch first and see if it helps.
