Unlocking the MMI 3G hidden menu

Just like in the MMI 2G, there’s a hidden menu in the MMI 3G too. I don’t encourage anyone to enable the hidden developer menu as it’s hidden for a good reason. So, if you’re the kind of person who likes to press buttons without knowing what they do, the hidden menu may not be for you! Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Instructions:

1. Select control module 5F in VAG-COM/VCDS
2. Select “Adaptation – 10″
3. Select channel 6
4. Set the value to 1
5. Press test
6. Press save
7. Press “Done, Go Back”, close the controller and quit the software
8. There’s no need to restart the MMI, just press CAR + SETUP for 6 seconds to enter the hidden menu

Is there anything useful you can do with this menu? Well… that depends if you count things like enabling the battery capacity status bar, increasing the microphone sensitivity or changing the splash screen image useful or not.

Thanks go out to Flibbi (again) for providing the adaptation channel settings!
