Unlocking the MMI 3G hidden menu

Comments(14) 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:
- Select control module 5F in VAG-COM/VCDS
- Select “Adaptation – 10″
- Select channel 6
- Set the value to 1
- Press test
- Press save
- Press “Done, Go Back”, close the controller and quit the software
- 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!

Hello Trick 77,
did you now how to enable the build-in AMI Interface via the Hidden Menu ?
Thank
Maik, I have no idea how to do this because I ordered the car with the AMI. Maybe it can be activated using the hidden menu but you still need to take care of the wiring.
Hello Trick 77,
do you have a VCDS ? Could you make a “Steuergeräteabbild) from the 5F So i could have a look for the changes with AMI and without AMI. Thanks a lot
Hey Jan,
Great tricks! Just wondering if you had heard any success with this in North America. I have set 5F Channel 6 from 0 to 1. Pressing car setup for 6 seconds (or longer) does nothing. I am in Canada and have a 2009 Q5.
Thanks for making this information available for all!
Hi,
i have a question regarding the audi bluetooth telephone.
Is it posible to deactivate automatic profile switching and automatic sync of contacts.
It should be posible to sync contacts with a connected mobile phone (bluetooth with sap) and then use the contacts with an inserted sim-card (bluetooth mobile disconnected).
I’m not talking about the 100 entries, which can be saved in the car, but about the 2000 entries which can be synced.
If i connect my bluetooth phone all contacts get synced. But if i disconnect the phone and insert a sim-card, then the profile is switched and all contacts will disappear.
Thanks Andi
Nevermind, got it working! Thanks for posting!
Some other sites are enabling Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for 3g mmi using the hidden menu and Vagcom. Have you tried? How about another idiots guide for us idiots!!!!
Cheers
Hi trick77,
A questionThe Bluetooth phone is always on the menu secret initia 5F?
I’m afraid I don’t know.
Hi Trick77,
Could you please be so kind and advise how to enable the option of closing the boot lid using the ignition key? Thanks a lot!
any chance with the programming of the auto closing of the lift gate? also it would be great to auto program the remote to lock the windows when leaving the car and pressing the auto lock.
Is it possible to activate bluetooth with this?
Maybe conecting microphones to the main unit and enabling the option with the hidden menu it works.
Is it possible to add/change POI’s within the navigation data?
Does anyone know how to activate the bluetooth phonekit on the newer Audis with MMI 3G technology.
