If anyone has a 2008 Q7 premium with the start stop buttons, how do you remove the wire connected to it. i have all the wires that were in this video removed, but can't seem to get the push start button removed.

yeah they look the same mine is without nav. Just the number on the right corner is 149//8200 original and new ones 149/8300. Also the voltages numbers on condensators is different on the new one. Though I ordered it from the ebay and on the pictures they were the same as on original one. I will try to look for another one in scrap yard or smth.

What the hell is Audi thinking designing it that way (obviously people are having this problem) and then charging $6000 to fix it. Should be a recall.

The electronics place hit it right on the head. I had a break in the fiber optic loop. The culprit was the Sirus radio receiver. I don't have a Sirus radio subscription and don't care to in the future. So he just bypassed it. Labor was $240. The receiver was another $400 if I chose to keep it but I decided to bypass. Other known issues that will do the same thing are the bluetooth receivers, handsfree phone and boss radio amplifier. All can be bypassed if you don't care to keep them. Parts can be pricey if still do.
@4realz3557 жыл бұрын
That is good to know, But I installed my Sirus and my navigation for a few hundred , That included a splitter for power wire and fiber optic Y splitter. I assume the $240 was for him trying to find the problem. I think mine had a loop where my sirus connected and I took it off and put in the Y so I could add the Sirus and Navigation.

Harry S.... Sounds like I'm right there with you. Unless we both got bad boards, we have something else going on. Luckily I found a friend of a friend who owns an electronic store. I drop the car off Monday. I'll let you all know. He suspects it's a break in the Fiber Optic loop which I've read on another post. Basically, it's a continuous loop. The fiber optic cable goes through several parts. The MMI board being one of those. It also runs through the blue tooth, any phone system that was originally installed. The amplifier, nav, and cd disk changer among others. Several people have experienced the phone system failing. That places a break in the loop and the MMI will shut down to protect itself.

I didn't spend time tracking the best prices so you might find some cheaper, Also I found the green antenna behind the panel and used it for Satellite , you might be able to find the blue or use the green, but for the 7 dollars the cheap antenna works great. The Cradle you don't need to get, Its more cosmetic. I used styrofoan and zip ties to hold the Dvd player for a while, Until I tracked down the OEM Cradle . Like I said, Any question don't hesitate to ask. I did take picture of all the parts and where it goes, etc.
