Now, this is something for the Audi folks. If your Audi is equipped with a MMI TV-module or a DVD-player, security restrictions have been applied to stop video-playback while your car is moving above a certain speed threshold. This feature is also called VIM (Video In Motion) lock. There’s a guy from Russia who offers a VAG-COM/VCDS based solution to disable this restriction but a) he wants your precious money for this hack and b) he needs online access to your computer and to your car to set the VIM threshold. There are also expensive, CAN-based programming cables on the market for the same purpose.
Changing the VIM-threshold requires you to set a higher threshold value to a so called adaptation channel in your MMI head unit. Unfortunately, this channel is read-only unless you use a proper login code first. The login code is derived from a unique component ID in your car. Once you know this number you can write to that adaptation channel and set the threshold to any value you want to, whenever you want to and as many times as you like. Please read the instructions to learn how to obtain the component ID (it’s not the vehicle ID number VIN) from the MMI head unit. This component ID then has to be entered in the VIM code calculator.
Using some creative witchcraft (I can’t be more specific but it didn’t involve any of the mentioned commercial solutions) I figured out how the VIM unlock login-code is being calculated. I wrote a free web-based VIM-code generator so anyone can disable the VIM restrictions, you just need someone with a VAG-COM/VCDS to do it for you. If you don’t own a VAG-COM/VCDS diagnostic cable you may be interested to know that there’s a VAG-COM locator available.
Fortunately, the VIM unlock login-code generation algorithm is the same for the MMI 2G and 3G (at least as of July 2009), so yes, using the generated login-code you can enable TV/DVD-playback at all vehicle speeds for the MMI 3G as well!
Depending on the MMI system generation you want to VIM-enable, click one of the following links to get to the detailed instructions. This is MMI 2G/3G only, I won’t offer a solution for RNS-E based systems.

Click here to learn how to enable VIM for the MMI 3G
You can either use the links above to generate your personal login-code or download a Windows based generator here.

Hi Guys,
I’ve a A3 (8V) 2015 model
I’ve had a go at unlocking. I used both the primary and alternate code.
After the 1st code didn’t work, I did as instructed with the Ross Tech instructions saying wait 10 minutes with the ignition on before trying again with the other code.
Alas no luck.
Video stops playing as soon as I move off.
My serial is:
A300B0F7514305
personal login-code is 00154 (alternative code is 01435)
Any ideas ??
Isn’t this a MIB/MIBII system?
I have no idea, splash screen says mmi plus
Still works as a charm on an A6 C7 with MMI3G+

thanks
I have an Audi A7 2014. When I enter the security access 16 I get a lot of codes but none that say serial number.
It’s a 3g+ MMI system.
Can anyone tell me what number I should use, is it in a standard format. eg:189E40C7504886
I have a Equipment/PR Code 036F0ABF4334540B but when I enter this in the keygen machine it generates a five digit long code including a letter which can’t be entered
Worked fine for my A6 C6 4F 2005

Hi
Can i ask you about 07777?

Does not work on 2016 A6
Code 08233 worked on my Audi Q7 -07
No luck on a 2016 A7. Many of the options, menus are just not there anymore, seems the programming has changed and VIM may just not be supported anymore. For example, there are many 48s now and none were relevant. There is no “Read” option where needed, etc Things have changed, too bad..

Impossible on Audi S3 8V with Vagcom… Every people tell me the VCP cable is an obligation ; is the truth?
it is imposiible for now, I hope VAG-COM solution as described above comes in a few months :)
But for now it is possible with VCP
That´s good, we did it in a Audi A7 3.0 TDI 2012.
Tank you very much

Hello
Tried this on a model year 2015 a6 avant (picked it up brand new today) – the new face lifted one – its with the tech pack so it’s the higher of the two sat navs with the hdd, Google maps, etc.
Both codes generated as a result of the serial no failed to allow me security access. Any thoughts please?
Very much appreciate your help – and this is a fantastic service that you provide! I just hope this will work on a 2015 model
Thanks

Hats off to you Sir, works great on my A6 4f 6C with MMI 3G +
Well I think I answered my own question today although it doesnt seem hopeless. The car has a B&O system, and with the generator I was able to generate a proper security access code which granted me access to adaptation channel and when entering security access code, security access granted was the msg I was greeted with, putting in the second code gave me a code not accepted or something else. Anyways does anyone know what channel the VIM adaptation is on in the 4G B&O System.
Thanks

Working fine on my A6 11/2007 G2
Worked without no problem on my 2011 Audi S4 Avant (Model year 2012).
Works for 2007 Audi S8 V10 5.2. Now I have Video in Motion!
Tks!
Worked without a problem on my 05 A8L D3 4E. 2G MMI SW version 5150.
For those interested read on!
A lot of A8’s sold in Australia (and other Audi models) were fitted with a dedicated Analog receiver which after late 2013 became useless crap here as the old system was superseded by Digital TV signals. Audi wanted 4k + fitment costs to update so after some research etc a genuine second hand Hybrid unit (part No 4E0910148E) was purchased for around AUD $400.00 from eBay out of Europe in early 2014. After i fitted the unit it worked as expected without issue then used the procedure listed for VIM and it worked also without issue. One thing i did notice while having VCDS connected at control module 07/Id-1A and having the TV active before doing any adjustments etc that the MMI displayed a Diagnostics screen that i wasn’t aware of that showed technical info about the receiver and reception strengths etc in real time. This screen disappeared after the values were installed, screen went blank then rebooted as instructed. TV rescanned available channels and it all works as intended. A BIG THANK-YOU to the person involved for sharing their tech knowledge.
Cheers.
it works wonderfully on a A7, Produktion Date Dezember 2011, with a MMI 3G with great Display.
The only Thing you have to do is a firmwareupdate, that makes VCDS automatically…But there is no Problem with that.
Afterwards the procedure works as described. The Code 5F at the beginnig was not able to select, so you can put it at the Field: direct entry. adress Word(01-FF) you type 5F and then go.
The rest is exactly as described.
The Software VCDS (Version 12.12.3) i had installed on a Windows 7 Professional 64Bit…SP1…on a old Notebook (Lenovo ThinkPad T61) 2.1 GHz dual core CPU T8100, 4 GB Ram, Thanks to all

Thanks
Hi trocomalo
Unfortunately that is true.
It appears to be impossible to switch off the video in motion on the basic system.
There are hundreds of people who would be very happy if we could find a way to do this for that set up.
So unless you can see the serial number in controller 5 F you are unable to do this.
But there are other options. You can buy a part that guts into the diagnostics socket and that stops the screen from shutting off when you are moving. But that costs money I think around 100 pounds sterling ( I am not sure).
But google it and you will find where to buy them.

Works like a charm on 2012 Touareg Lux
I select the control module 5F, after select the Advanced ID – 1A. When intro, no show the number serial.
In audi q3 navigation BASIC isn’t compatible this process?
Hi Trocomalo,
Sorry but only certain combinations of MMI will show you a serial number in the 05 controller.
No serial number = no ability to switch off the “video in motion” sorry.
Steve B
Excuse me, my model car it’s Audi Q3 navigation basic. I worked with vcds in version 11.11.3. I cant find the number serial. The number serial isn’t.
Excuse me for my english
Thanks
Hello, I have the Audi Q3 with the basic mariner. Across the cable, I can see with the iPhone 4 videoes on the screen of the MMI, but when the vehicle is circulating, the sign of video is blocked. I have entered the module 5F to realize the process of activating video in motion but the switchboard does not facilitate the serial number to me to be able to generate the code. Since I can obtain the serial number of this switchboard. Do you need some information more? Thank you
Worked for me on a March 2013 A4 2.0TDI, with “jukebox” based MMI 3G+
WORKS, TUAREG 3, 2011 3,0 TDI BM. FIRST TIME ERROR BECAUSE I FILL WRONG NUMBER, THEN WAIT 10 MIN, AFTER OK.
Worked for me Q5 2013. Followed the steps step by step and had no problems.
When I enter the security access key, I get a Controller refused the key! error 35: Invalid key. My cable works and I can see everything just cant get passed the security code? I have tried both codes? I turn the car on for 10 min and try the second code with no success?
Your personal login-code is 03699 (alternative code is 06959)
If you bought it off ebay for $50 or less it’s probably not a real cable. :)
Ross-Tech is the genuine manufacturer. http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/cat/VCDS.html.
The cable also functions as a hardware authenticator (dongle) for the software, so genuine software has to run through a genuine cable.
Folks sell hacked versions of the software that will work on cheap cables, but it is not upgradeable (and of course illegal / pirating / bad karma / etc)
Pugsly how do you know its the real cable? it says HEX+CAN Dual-k & CAN USB interface for VCDS.
I used it no problem on my 2012 A7 (USA).
If you bought a real vag-com cable then there will be no problem getting the software upgrade. If it is a pirated version then downloading the new version will break the hack.
Hey guys I just purchased the vac-com cable. It came with version 11.11.3 can I update to version 11.11.15? I read on the instructions not to update the software? I am having problems entering the personal login-code is 03699 on the bottom right it has another square to input data do I leave that blank?
could my car not support.
Press “Do It!”. If you receive a “code not valid” message try the alternative code. If neither code works it’s likely that your control module doesn’t support VIM adaptation.
Thanks guys!
Worked sweet as a nut on a 2012 C7 A6, thanks.

Need help, has anyone got it to work on a Audi A7 2013? I followed the instructions with no success. :(
No.
And is this only for cars after 2010?
RNSE will not work?
Thanks
Hi,
How do i know which instructions to follow?

Andi,
Make sure you do a hard reset on the nav unit when you finish setting to 200km. Once you hold down the buttons it will not just reboot on its own, hold them down together for like 5 seconds and release. At that point it will reset the nav unit. Also, put a DVD in before you even start and confirm it will pllay and stop when trying to move

Then if you follow the instructions on this site you will see the serial number. The only thing I can think that would be different about your car is that it is a 20011 and mine was a 2012 model?
But the instructions on here do work.
YES I HAVE 3 G MMI AMBITION LUXE
NAVIGATION PHONE XENON ETC.
Hi
It is none of these. It shows as the serial number only but not all A1s can have this option changed by VCDS.
The A1 can only have the video in motion switched off if you have the 3G version of the AMI.
It is only a few owners that are able to do this. If you have the top spec system you will be ok. But anything less than this you cannot switch off VIM.
ITS FLASH TOOL CODE 8928399501936?
OR HARDWARE NUMBER 8X0035192A?
OR EQUIPMENT PRCODE 0000004C70B42010?
PLEASE HELP ME THINKS

Done in 5 minutes, 2012 A6 Brazilian version with advanced package. Thanks to everyone that worked on this!
Worked perfect. Was done in 5 minutes.
Audi Q3 mid 2012 build for Germany.
To do the reset at the end it needed the TONE,CENTER and TOP RIGHT buttons.
Thanks a lot to the person who provided this info and passcode generator.

Where can I find the serial key for MMI VIM-Gen?
I want to unlock my video in motion?
Worked.
Audi A6, 2013, MMI 3G
Arizona – USA
Hi, I worked great.
Have a Audi A6 4F Model 2009 MMI 3G +, with hard disk.
Thank you, keep it up
I’m from Germany
Another satisfied user. Worked as described – on my USA 2013 A6 Prestige. As others have said, the “Menu” button is used wherever the “Setup” button is called for in the directions.
Worked perfect on my USA 2013 S5. Just note what others have said about the 3G MMI not having a “setup” button, so for the reset, you need to use the “Menu” button instead with the other two buttons to “reset”.
@Audi
Desolé, mais tu dois vraiment mal t’y prendre car je l’ai fait sur 3 véhicules différents et les 3 codes VIM fonctionnent!
desoler sa marche pas mmi 3G high
serial number K5FAN1DNA4KQW
Au top!
Le générateur VIM-login code fonctionne à merveille ; ça m’a pris 2 minutes avec mon VCDS, et je peux désormais (enfin pas moi, mes passsgers!) regarder DVD et Tuner TV en roulant (à n’importe quelle vitesse).
Merci encore!
Jan thanks for the intel you’ve provided on this site! I’ve been using it for years, and has worked flawlessly.
As a suggestion, I’d ask that you add to the “enable VIM on Audi MMI” page, for resetting the MMI on newer models with the touchpad system. It simply changes from using the SETUP button to the MENU button, the other two buttons remain the same. I’ve run into this on 2012 A6, A7, and A8’s recently….
Worked a treat!
Very good!!
Perfect at first glance in my 12/2008 A6 Avant(2009 Facelift model).
Many, many thanx!!!!!
Sound is std.
Thanks
MRC, what sound system is in your car, std or Bose?
Thanks
It doesn´t work on my 2012 A6. It gives a 4 digit code and I need 5.
Any help?
Thank you
i have aude a1 2012 can i code the radio for aux inbut
Worked great on a US A7. I’m curious – how do you generate the security code, would like to do this for other modules…
Q3 2012 Australian version with MM1 G3+
code generator worked.

This method worked perfectly with the VAG-COM cable on my 2012 A7 Prestige. Also as stated previously, must use the “Menu” button instead with the center and upper right to “reset” the MMI.
Thanks! Worked perfectly on my MY11 Touareg RNS850. Finding the head unit serial was not very clear in the instructions. For those having trouble trying into figure that out you retrieve the serial number with the VAG-COM/VCDS on the following page [5F – Information Electr]. Secondly for the VW 3G MMI restart hold down the five keys Phone/Climate/Nav/Traffic/Centre knob.
Hi, my Audi Q5 2009 (Korean) has quite a different serial.
It starts with “K”… K5FAN181A32V9
and your generator replies 0VA93, which was not accepted.
Please help…
worked 2007 q7 2g mmi
The code generator worked great on the 2013 RS5 (U.S. version). Since there is no “Setup” button on these cars, must use the “Menu” button instead with the other two buttons to “reset”.
the code worked on my 2010 audi b8! cant wait to test it out!! now only if somebody could unlock the sd card to play movies!!
i have a6 from 2009.04 …i input the code but doesent work..i have 3g navi unit

audi q7 (2011)
How do I find my serial number? Can someone please help
Audi Q7 2012; worked great first try.
to comend and ask for help? please tel where your from. I cant see it on the internet. iam from holland so when you com from the nederlands you can ask me?
Well, I’m not pretty sure!! One guy in the Audi dealer did it for me,
and he told me that he used both codes and neither one worked.
But I think, I’l buy the Vag.com interface and try it myself.
He got scare if the interface asked something like” are you sure?
or something like that.
Did you used the code generator from this trick77 to generate your code?
i have a 2011 toureg will this work? Is there another option?
Thanks
Thank you………used my Vag.com Ross Tech on my 2012 Q7……1st try :)
Worked great on my 2012 Q7. Used a ross-tech USB interface and the first code that was generated. The “are you sure” message got me nervous. My wife would have killed me if the NAV was messed up as the dealer is closed for the weekend ;)
I have a Q7 2011 AUDI.
I did everything for 3G , generate the 2 possible codes,and it accepted them,but it did not work. it stop at the final process and marked as an error..
what can I do to deactivate the in motion thing?
Worked perfectly on a 2012 A8. Thanks !!
Thank u so much!!!
Hi
You need TI find someone local to you with a VCDS cable.
They should be able to make the changes for you.
You may have to google “VCDS” in your area.
Steve B
Any idea who would know how to do this? And will it work in my touareg?
Hi Angel
I doubt very much that your dealer would make this change for you. It is something that could be classed as illegal or at best something tgAt a dealer should not be doing.
So you would need to fInd someone other than a VW dealer to do this for you.
Steve B
I have a 2012 vw touareg tdi. Will this work in my car too??please let me know ASAP! I’m going to dealership this morning and they can fix it for me

Thanks!
This looks like the place to be. I just generated my code. I have not tried it yet. I need to buy or borrow the VAG-COM/VCDS sw and cable from somewhere. I also am still not sure if I have a 2G or 3G. can anyone tell me. Navi Model # 4F0035082A, on a 2010 Q7.
Now for my real question: what I really am looking for is how to get euro maps to work. I am in Germany and car is US specs.
Thanks! My kids are happy now!

Hi I just bought Audi Q7 last week. i am still going through the functions. how do i inknow if its MMI 2 or 3 G?
do i need any wire to do any of the above? my comments it look simple but by article it seems complex.
any help please
Yes that is the spec on my A1
Steve B
That’s ok, so it’s the mmi plus for my2012
I have the full spec. I ticked every option available.
Steve B
Ok, do You have mmi plus or concert radio on your A1?
I meant it should NOT make that much difference. iPhone keying mistake!!!!
Steve B
Hi
It was on the VCDS screen in the serial number field.
I just followed the instructions on here and it was displayed.
Somepne suggested that it could be that because I have the tech pack that I can see the number. But I am not sure about that. It should make that difference
Steve B
@steve b: how did u find the MMI’s serial number in your A1?
2012 A6, worked as advertised. Worked with first login code.
THANK YOU, this worked 1st time on my A1 (MY2012).
Thanks for the VIM unlock, works great, only 5min and done.

works perfect for the MMI 2G High in my Audi A6 Avant 4F 3.0 TDI quattro. Thanks! Was absolutely easy to handle!
Will this work for a 2012 a5?
And I did it for free!
Just had a friend from GHE tuning in plymouth follow the info on the site with his vag com on a 2012 A4 and has worked perfectly ;-)
AUDI Q3
worked for MMI TV free setting AUDI Q
works absolutely spot on, fantastic. really simple!
Awesome! And some guy was going to charge me £100 for this!! I have an Audi Q7 2008.
I have a 2011 A4 with Nav, would this VIM hack allow me to output my iphone screen via MMI to the NAV screen? That is what interests me the most.
Has anyone tried this with an Audi A1 with positive results?
Ok, for parking brake, just put in the code that VCDS suggests. Sweet!
I’m looking forward to activate it on My A1 MY2011 with concert radio, can’t find sn, any idea?!
@RG: how did u get it? Thanks
Sorry, it DID work for VIM (5F, 10) but didn’t work for parking brake (53). Any ideas?
The access code doesn’t work on a 2012 S5. Also the alternative code doesn’t work. :( I have tried multiple times, tried different codes first, tried driving 30 minutes between tries, tried different days.
@Carlos &Justin: you need a vcds vagcom Hex Can usb cable with windows based software from Ross Tech to access for serial then use trick77 suggested method to generate access code to enable vim. I was lucky I bought the cable from ebay at 66 pounds, comes with software (beta version from Ross tech). My local shop charges above Aud 400 for the cable.
Yes, how do you get the serial number?
how did you get the serial number??

Hi, where can I find the serial number of my Audi A1 8x my2012 radio concert for VIM activation?
Thank you
Claudio, unfortunately the Audi A1 is not supported.
Cheers,

Hello,
thank you very much for your work.
But: For me the login codes doen´t work.
Both were refused when trying to login on Touareg II from 2010.
Any idea?
It is RNS850 Navigation and there was only one serial Number
Also… I forgot to mention that I used these instructions on a 2012 Audi A7 with 3g MMI. I figured out the button sequence on the first try. I substitued the “Menu” button for the “setup” button listed in the instructions.
THANK YOU…. Your instructions and guide for 3g MMI VIM playback were spot on. The only thing left out, which I should have known anyhow, is that it is necessary to download the programming cable PC application in order to change the values. I downloaded the Ross-Tech application after borrowing a cable from someone off the Vag-Com Locator site listed above. I am stoked!!!
Looking for someone to do this for me, im in phoenix AZ and am taking a trip to Canada and could use a distraction for my passenger. I am willing to pay. and I dont have a VAG com cable . (Please email chekle @ me . com)
Hello
I have just tried this on an A6 4F year 2009
and it works. that was a very easy operation.
for the next days i will try iton a Q5 year 2011
thanks

It workt great on my Audi A8 2003 NL.
To restart the MMI 2G on my car I had to press the TEL button, the control button and the small button at the top right simultaneously.
hi, this kind of tutorials are really good.
I have an A1 2012 and can’t find the serial number
anyone has managed to unlock the vim on a car like this?
PLEASEEE!!!!

Looking for someone to do this for me (as soon as possible, taking long road trip in 3 days). I’m in Los Angeles (near Santa Monica), will come to you, Will pay! =) I don’t have a vag-com cable. =( Email me jskate35 at gmail dot com. Thanks!!
I tried this using the VAG-COM cord they have at the dealership. I have an 2012 Q5 3.2L Quattro and went to 5F and saw NAR 2011 and DU7 High and two other lines but at no point saw a serial number or any coding that looked like the example and was not able to find a serial number.. Any suggestions on what i can do??? or where I can look. For sure it was the MMI 3G because the 5F option was the only one that matched. Please help me out
has anyone purchased this cable and completed the job themselves?

Hello thanks for your tutorial :o)

Hey I have a 2012 Q7 when he states serial number provided below I don’t see it ……Could you explain it to me from beginning to end …..
Hi, it works perfectly on my A6 4,2 -05
TNX!! /Peter
For all the guys who have it working on there q7, can I ask where you are inserting the disk?? I have a 2008 q7, but instead of the single disc slot under the screen i have a disc changer. Does that basically take away the DVD capabilities? The only DVD drive i know for sure i have in the car is the one in the trunk where the nav disc sits. If anyone could chime in I would greatly appreciate it. My enigmatool, and VCP both have this via obd, no need to even use vagcom so I can see its enabled but I cannot figure out where to put in the disc.
Thanks
Frankie
Overall worked perfectly! Thank you!
Notes:
Successfully logged in after the second attempt with the alternative code.
The first try with the normal code was not successful for me.
The value of channel 63 is the speed value.
For me the initial value was 3 [km/h], and I set it to 120 [km/h] and it worked.
Beyond 120 km/h the MMI display was disabled. Reducing the speed, the screen was enabled again somewhere about 105 km/h.
Thanks!
Thanks Joe. It worked perfectly on my 2011 Q7 3.0T gas.
Hi Joe,
yes you need the cable. It’s not possible to do it through the touchscreen.

HOW ABOUT VIM FOR VW RNS510 WITH VCD? HOW DOES IT WORK?
der einzige Beitrag, der nicht drum herum redet, hat mir sehr gut geholfen. Man sollte weniger über rechtliches diskutieren und lieber Möglichkeiten aufzeigen.
(Audi A8 4E Bj 2005)
Great write-up! Worked perfectly on my ’12 Audi S4… thanks!
Worked on my 2011 Audi A4 2.0T MMI 3G, North America.
Hi Roger,
to get it right, you still need the diagnostic cable to get access to the RNS 850. Or is there a way to do it directly through the touchscreen of the RNS 850?
Thanks
Joe
Hi, I tried it with my RNS 850 and it works perfectly to reboot RNS 850 when finished press Nav + Traffic + Clima + Phone + Knob :-)
It works on my Audi Q7 with MMI 2G. But since, the car battery go empty alone… How could I return with the original settings ?
Does somebody know the original value in channel 63 instead of 255 ?
Thanks in advance
In Q5 3.0D from 2008/12 with MMI Plus 3G……OK
Thanks
Hi guys i discovered that my a1 system isn’t mmi but Radio Music Concert – RMC with an AMI device. have anyone tryied this? Thanks a lot.
MMI touch 4G?
TV is now active up to 255 km/h.
It works the same way as discussed for the MMI 3G system.
Hi Frankie,
thank You very much. Can You also tell me the way to Restart the RNS 850 ?
Cu Roger
Frankie im trying to find the serial number in. audi a1 in 5f it doesnt appear and i dont have the 7 module installed in the car is there another place where i can find the serial number in audi a1
Thanks a lot
Roger,
The RNS850 works on the same exact code system as the MMI3G. So you will be able to use the same code generator and also adaptation channels to unlock your rns850
Frankie
Hi, it worked perfect with my 2009 Audi RS6. Now I bought a 2011 VW Touareg V8TDI with RNS 850 System. Does it work with this System also ?? Or has anybody a solution for this??
Thanks Roger from Germany
What is about the MMI touch? 4G!
I didn´t find any support for this device in my Audi A8 09/2011.
Thanks for your post
In Audi A1 2011 – I can find de engineering menu pressing Car + Back for 6 seconds, but also dont show the serial number…I think its another kind of system (someone told me thats an RMC – not MMI 3g system) Thanks Maarten. Ive tried to find a way to disable the VIM for several days… But it seems that nobody has done it on Audi A1…
Thanks for your post..
I couldn’t seem to get the MMI serial number in order to generate a VIM login code. Too bad my VAG-COM seemed to “hang” on this specific module 5F, so no information at all was shown when I pushed the “Advanced ID-1A” -button. (I can do adaptations tough…) However, it seems there is a different way to get the MMI serial number: when you enter the MMI service menu with the CAR + SETUP buttons, and then enter the system menu, there is a serial number shown. if you take this serial number and replace the “$” with a “.”, the VIM code generator will generate a correct code. At least, it did for me… (08/2010 A6 MMI3G). Please check if this works for you as well!
Works perfect in my Audi A6, 2009 with MMI3G ;-)
2011 A4 Avant and 2012 S4, works perfect. Also did a friends 2010 A5. Thanks for the great work.
is working great

Friends, can someone please helppp me.. I cant find the serial number on my audi A1 2011. In 5F advanced identification it doesnt appear.. And module 07 its not installed in the car. If someone has done it on audi a1 please tell me where i can find it? And what to do? Is there an alternative way to obtain the code for secure acess 16 in vcds ? Please help….
Thanks a lot.
Works perfect on Audi A6 MMI 2009.
Perfetto per Audi Q5 2.0T 2011.
Funziona benissimo.
Hi Guys im from Brazil, does it work on Audi A1-2011? How do i know if my mmi is 2g or 3g? Thanks a lot..
Hi any one close to Coventry that set up vim for me as I do not have vag comms etc ?
Worked fine for my 2011 A6. Thank you so much.
yes it does have the joystick in the middle, so im assuming its 3g. Problem is there is no disc slot underneath the screen, just a 6 disc player. The dvd for the nav is in the trunk.
Frankie
If there’s a center joystick in the controller, then you should have the 3G which should be capable of playing DVDs.
http://www.iamaudi.com/audi-2g-mmi-vs-audi-3g-mmi/
Cheers,
Jan
I dont get it, so is Q7 the only one that dosent work. I setup my enigma read the headunit, set at 0kmh, I changed it to 255kmh and it set fine. But the DVD drive for the nav is in the trunk, in the front is a 6 disc changed. Is the Q7 not capable of playing dvd’s??? It is a 2008 Q7, I beleive it is a 3gmmi system.
Frankie
Audi Q5 2009, worked OK (1s number)
yojoeybr,
You know what I didnt do a reset afterwards. I wonder if i needed to reboot the mmi unit. I’ll try that today on my friends q7. Let me ask you, if your navi HDD or DVD. Do you remove your navi DVD to put in video dvd?
Frankie
Mine just starts playing- you should check your manual.
Yojoeybr,
When I put the DVD disc in the place of the nav disc all i get is please insert nav disc? Do I have to select special source, or does your just start playing?
Frankie
I think so- my brother in law has a 2009 Q7 and his dvd player/ nav is in his trunk.
Yojoeybr question I have a 2008 Audi q7 with MMI system, nav and everything else. Now under my screen is 6 disc player, in trunk is nav dvd. I don’t see any other slot? Maybe if you dont have the 6 disc player there is a single dvd slot there?
Frankie
On my 2012 Audi the dvd goes in just below the MMI unit. And, yes, I am in the US using US dvds.
Can I ask you guys something, are you doing this on US or EU cars? My question being is that I can unlock MMI 2G/3G/3D units via my enigma, vagtech cable or this method but after i change mmi from 0kmh to 255kmh nothing plays. Where are you guys inserting the DVD for it to play and what menu option are you using. Just curious if this is something that maybe just EU have dvd players in there dash and us members do not, I cant see that though as i know people who have it working on mmi systems. So can you confirm this works on US based systems, where do you put the dvd in to play and also what source you select to view.
Thanks
Frankie
First code worked on my 2012 Audi A4.
i’ve try into my A6 C6 2004 but all 2 security code generated from the respective 2 SN doesn’t work !
Do you have any suggestion for me ?
Regards !
SCOTT/SERGEY,
Are you saying that you have used this code generator and instructions to enable video in motion on your VW TOUREAG with which I believe is running a RNS850 unit? Can you please clarify this and list steps on exactly how you accompished this.
Thanks
Frankie
Am Audi A8, 4E hat es sofort mit dem alternativ Code funktioniert.
Super – vielen Dank !!!
This post is for all the noobs like me. Just did this on my 2012 Q5- worked perfectly. I bought this to do so:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051S22HU
The cable connects to a port on left of the steering column right above the foot rest. I used my laptop running xp with the software provided with the cable above. Following the instructions above exactly step by step worked perfect first time.
I would really want to thank you for this. it worked with my Audi A8 2004 on the 2nd code.
Great & useful Trick :-)
Imad
So are you saying that you have used the code generator for the VW RNS510 via adaptation? I find this very hard to believe and will have to try this myself now. I do many things with rns510 with sw that i have written, including changing boot logo. See Below

Hello all!
Code worked perfectly for VW Touareg NF, made 2011.
Thanks!
I’ve read instructions but it is not clear which number should be used as a “Serial Number”. It seems to me that I am not the only one confused.
Hey Knut-
Can you post what you used and exactly how you did it?
Thanks
Thanks for sharing.
Enabled in Audi Q5 MY 2012.

Hi All,
Tried to unlock a 2004 Audi A8 with an MMI 2G high unit in and got invalid code after trying both serials listed below and both codes given by the generator. Any one got any idea why?
Your personal login-code is 02246 (alternative code is 02624) for serial 300JG037526224
and
Your personal login-code is 05044 (alternative code is 00404) for serial 322IG037504054
Thanks,

To Mike Fung, seems you just made calculation based on my chassis no. Do you think it’s a right way? never heard it before. Anyway, I’ll try it. Thanks a lot.

Hi guys, i’m new on my attemps to generate acess code for VCDS programm for my car Audi A7 (2010) MMI 3G. I’ll be very gratefull if someone (especially expirienced in Audi A7) can help me to generate this code based on the following information i had recieved reading 5F controller because i have some difficulties to stress out the right serial number from MMI. Thanks a lot in advance.

First code worked on 2011 Q5!
First code worked perfectly on 2012 A7
Note: When restarting MMI use “MENU” key in place of “SETUP”
Costi, so u have tested this on a 2011 Audi a5 before and it worked?
Rien a redire marche super bien sur audi a8 de 2007 , Merci
Works perfect on 2009 A5 coupé. I thinks its MMI 2G
Thanks!!
Ok, it worked on my 12 A4/B8 Avante. Used the Serial Number from Step 2 “Advanced ID – 1A”, didn’t catch the connection of that step. Codes 01233 and 02383 worked for security. Thanks.
Codes didn’t work on 12 A4 Avante. Have full NAV with MMI 3G. Definitely got connected and was able to change gauge sweeps (cool). Are we supposed to use our VIN to generate the Security Code? Mine is WAUWFBFL8CA013239 and generated codes 03193 and 01329. Neither worked. Any ideas what I am doing wrong
It`s work perfect on A6 2006 year MMI 2G! Thanks!
I just receive a A4B8 July 2011 with MMI 3G.
This Generator code is ok for me.
Thanks
Just got my 2012 Q5 and I have been trying to understand this first step:
“Select control module 5F in VAG-COM/VCDS”
I have no idea what that even means or where module F5 is.
Any help?
vaxpilot – I see you have a Q5 as well. i just bout a 2011 Q5. Can you shed some like on this whole process, disabling brake with DVD playback. I’m brand new at all this. can you break the process down big bird style for me? mprusin1@gmail.com
Thanks,
mike
Works! Thanks for making this!

hello
i have a audi a5 sportback 2010 model with mmi3g and the code was wrong…
what could be the reason?
thanks for helping me out
K5FAN175A60SY
@niuzhihong: K5FAN* not supported.
@Roders: If no CAN-controller is present at the 5F address it probably is not the MMI 2G/3G (“high” version) and the codes most likely won’t work even if you find the CAN-bus address of the MMI head unit in your Audi TT on a different address.
works fine in 2011 Audi A7 & 2011 Audi A5
Hi KC.
Yes made sure Engine is on….it seems my 2011 Audi TTS does not have the 5F Module. Is this possible?
THanks
Rod
Just a question as I can’t make it work. Do we need to start the engine when accessing that module ?
THX
Fabulous service! Worked first time on our 2011 Touareg Execline. Now my grandson can watch movies in the back seat. If only there was a way to use headphones now…
Thanks from CANADA!
Thanks very much worked flawless on 2011 Q5.
Roders – make sure your engine is on. For some reason, some of the module won’t connect when your engine is off.
Works! 2011 Audi Q5 3.2 Premium Plus
It worked for me 12 a7 USA
Will his work on 2012 a6 a7?
I have a 2011 Audi TTS with Navigation and TV, but cant seem to access module 5F. Got the genuine RossTech Cable and latest VCDS. But keep getting “No response from controller”? Doing a scan it is like I dont have the 5F controller??
Any ideas?
I got a 2003 A8. It works perfekt. Thank´s. Greets from Germany.
Hi Jeremy,
Did your code work at the first time ? Did you have to use the second one ?
All done on Audi A1 looking for more cool VCDS mods now.
Well my friends and local board members all get it done for free, the same way I vag or do there odometers for free as well. This is a random board and many people dont have cables or sw. I dont use vcds, I use something much more expensive that is meant for odometers and just happens to do mercedes/bmw/land rover/VW/ and Audi 2g/3g mmi systems VIM as a side feature. So for 14k what I paid for the unit the occasional 100 bux to a board member isnt anything. The speed shops around here cant even do it with sw which dosent void your warranty, dealers dont know about and use an additional can based device which they charge 500+ for VIM. Now I think my time is worth the 100 bux to a stranger, a friend, no they dont pay. If someone can help me put in my led drl’s I’ll be glad to do you VIM or odometer if it happens to be reading the wrong mileage.
Frankie
That’s gonna be too far as I live in Europ but in anyway I would pay 100 bucks to do that. You should better help the others for free you’ll need their help sometimes
If anyone is in the tri-state area I do this without Vag-Com, I use a diff program which unlocks VIM and enables the test menu for 100.00. If your interested just email me : encryptusagmailcom

That’s odd. Is there anything else that I can try to make that work?
Strange.
Not sure what “space” Andy was referring to either.
Hello Dave
Yes I got the same ones but none of the work (invalid code)
by the way, it’s a 2009 A6 with MMI 3G
Cheers
Yves,
Did you at least get the code generator to to produce numbers for you? With your serial number I got:
01307 (alternative code 03740)
Andy
What space are you talking about ?
I haven’t seen anything about that
Thanks
Worked fine after I put the serial number in correctly. Make sure you put the space in there – not sure if it’s case-sensitive too.
My car is a 2011 A4 Avant.
Thank you very very much!
Thanks for the info but I can t get it work.

2010 S5 3G MMI …. Worked a Treat
I just used the MMI3 code generator / instructions to unlock and enable VIM on my North American 2012 A7
the primary difference on the instructions is that setup button is now called memory, and I had to reboot mmi a couple of times to get VCDS to read the values without crashing.

Thank you very much Welcome to China
Same problem as Lin. Serial: K5FAN153A239W, code generated: 09AW2 or 0A23W. The security access, however, seems only accept digits.
Worked first time on my mmi 3G on a audi rs6 2010, thanks
I try 0CAL4,but Security Access only accept number??
That serial most likely won’t work because it has to be numeric.
Cheers,

@donna, the dealership won’t give you the serial. The procedure to obtain the serial is listed above. It can be pulled with vcds
Frankie
@ frankie, i think you have to contact you audi dealership, can’t get them any other way.. sorry
Hey viper, just shoot me an email @ encryptusa@gmail.com
Frankie
hello,Frankie can you tell me how I can contact you for details?
If you have a rns-510 unit which is the only one that plays dvds you cannot do this with vcds and a vagcom cable unfortunately. You can use a hardware bypayss but a lot of times it interferes with the navigation system, alternatively there are a few people, myself included who can perform a software solution by programming the radio itself with no canbus external units or anything that would or could void your warranty. Myself I charge 100.00 for the service and you could get it done on the spot if your in the tri-state area, if not you could ship the unit and pay the 100 + shipping charges. Turnaround time is about 1 day if you use overnight shipping, only takes me 2 minutes to program the unit
Frankie
Does anyone know how to access this on a VW?
Thanks!
That is the serial of the unit ,I have done this procedure at least 10 times it is from the advanced id reading was made with vcds but this time after I put the login security code the 5f give me login rong login code!!!!!!
Thanks again
Hi,frankie
In this site,it’s described to get your serial number.
for 3G
1.Select control module 5F in VAG-COM/VCDS
2.Select “Advanced ID – 1A”
3.Submit the value from the “Serial number” field in the form below. If there’s more than one serial number, use the first one!
for 2G
1.Select control module 07 in VAG-COM/VCDS
2.Select “Advanced ID – 1A”
3.Submit the value from the “Serial number” field in the form below. If there is more than one serial number field, use the first one!
what are the steps to get the serial number? can someone please describe how you obtain this serial number
Hi,viper
Serial 483A60B7698189 should not be a serial number of your head unit.
Find your head unit’s serial.
hello, they change the codings it is not working on 2011 a5 mmi 3g, any ideea?483A60B7696189 IS THE SERIAL
THANK YOU
Q5 3.0 TDI Sep 2010 Australia
The first code works!
thank you with respect!
Same procedure for the new A7 and new A8 with MMI 3G+ ;)
I made it on A7 and A8.
I just had this done on my 2011 Q5 2.0 TFSI and it works great! Printed off the directions and took it into a local Audi tuner (Denver, CO). The only roadblock was that they had to figure out that the ‘serial number’ that you enter into the code generator is not part of the VIN, but relates to the MMI unit itself (which appears to be only accesible by the vag-com/vcds, not in the normal driver-operated MMI menus). After that, no problems. Took about 40 min, $75. Thanks for the great tip!
Hi Sven
Can you please send me the contact details of your friend, I am also from Belgium and I would like to do that on my A4 2010.

Hello,
I try this manual for my Audi A6 4F 2006 and I have problem with adaptation. It show me channel is not available, but before I write login and it say me: Security login is god…but then nothing changes and the channels are still unavailable. I have VCDS 8.05. Where is the problem?
Thanks
It worked with a 2011 Q7 !! THANKS
You need a hex can cable to connect between a computer and your can and vcds soft ware. Then you enter to code in the software on your computer and upload it to your car effectively.
Visit Ross tech . Com or search for a local person with vcds software or the previous version known as vag com. You/they will need the hex can cable, either serial port or USB. The lesser cables won’t work with your new car.
Good luck
some questions, just got a 2011 q7, do i need a cable still or can i just do the code thing? i live in australia
help would be good

Adam,
As far as I know you can’t use the Vag-Com for the RNS510 units as of yet. I use special software call MRM RNS510 Service tools to enable VIM on the rns510 units. If your in the states I charge 100 for the programming. If your in the tri-state area you can come by and get it done.

Is there any way to get a video input added to an S5? I want to be able to hook up my video MP3 player as an aux input and run video on it. I have a yellow composite, as well as a red and white stereo audio.

How are you accomplishing the RNS510 dvd in motion? Are you using the vag-com? Currently I am using MRM service tools to enable VIM on any rns510, change pins, etc. Just curious if you found a way to do it with the vag-com?

Hey TomL where did you buy your cable? Also have 2011 Q5 and purchased OBII cable but didn’t work.
I am trying to enable VIM in my 2007 A6 3.0 TDI (MMI 2G).
I do have a VAG K+CAN cable but it is not from Ross Technic so I can’t use their software.
I am using VAG COMMANDER 5.1 software, but I don’t know where to find the “Advanced ID – 1A” menu.
Instructions provided seem very simple for VCDS software, but I just can’t get it for VAG Commander.
Please Help, thanks!

K5FAN1 serial is not supported.
Dear Sir:
I had a Car A6 in China. The Serial No is K5FAN1 49A1Z24. I try to use the VIMGEN, The code is 02a41(alternative code is 0A1Z4). But the system can’t input alphabet. Can I do that??
Thank you!

Working fine.
A4 B8 MY2010, MMI 3G with HD. First code did it.
Working fine (Audi A6 4F Avant 05/2005 3.0TDI)
Worked like a charm on my Sept 2007 registered Q7, thanks ;)
Worked like a charm. Did it with the cars of a few colleagues too.

my 2010 q7 serial number is K5FAN1 52A17WK ,but the generator doesn’t work ,would you please show me my login code,thanks a lot!!
Does anyone know the procedure to enable the DVD playback on the 2005 S4 (I believe they have the RNS-E systems)?
I am not very computer/electronics savvy. I have a 2010 Q7. Just to get this strait, do i need to get this cable in order to enable the VIM or can I do it directly from my car. can anyone post step by step directions for dummies on how to make this work…thanks
Ryan, I have the same audi as yours. If you’re in NJ or NY, could you possibly remove VIM restriction on my S5?
I have no clue of how it is actually done.. It looks very complicated, and I don’t have VCDS/VAG-COM (I don’t even know what it is to be frank..)
Please let me know if you could do this for me.. Thank you very much!! smsmlee@gmail.com
RS6 V10 04/2009 funktioniert super Danke
worked awesome!2010 s5 thanks

NOT working
Everthing about MMI 3G on this site works great. I hope for the future that are coming more great information from 3G. I like it Thanks for so far. Dennis Q5 2010 S-line 2.0TFSI S-tronic
Your input is greatly appreciated. It worked for me. Mine is a 11-09 produced 2010 model B8 S4
thanks a bunch!
Worked perfectly on my 2010 Audi A5 MMI 3G
Unfortunately, no. There’s absolutely zero information about these models. It looks like the non-K5FAN models are still being built into the latest Audis. Maybe this will change with the next model year (starting these days) and we will get some more information about the K5FAN models.
Cheers,
Jan
any idea what to do with the serial number is not numeric but a combination of K5FAN?
Worked perfect on AUDI A8 3.0TDI MMI 2G. Thank you – ;-))
Does this work with RNS-E on A3?
Thanks
Forgot to mention,
Audi Q7 4.2 FSI
Japanese Spec.
MMI 2G,
VIM disabled. Perfect instructions and easy to follow, worked like a charm.
Many Many Many thanks.
Worked like a charm.
Saved me $$$.
Thanks a million.
I finally picked up my Q7 4.2TDI and enabled needle sweep, the lap timer and the hidden developer menu, disabled the seat belt warning chime and enabled VIM.
The process works flawlessly. Just needed to remember to select the correct module. Module 5F, not module 5.
Awesome.
Thanks Jan, you are a legend.
Now, I just need this level of control over my Passat R36
2010 tdi q7 worked!

Great job Jan.
Many Thanks.
Perfetto funziona ! (It works perfectly) Audi (on the road march2010).
It works!
Thank you!
I’d better put this in the right spot this time…
Hey Jan, nice work with the unlock code. I’m sure there are a great number of user on the web that owe you a debt of gratitude.
I’m taking delivery of a new Q7 4.2 TDI with the latest 3G MMI and I am assuming that the 3G unlock code will probably not work for me.
Let me know if there is some way in which I can assist you to create an unlock code generator for these latest 3G MMI systems.
I know cars and electronics pretty well and don’t want any credit for the work. Perhaps if you provide some insight into the method originally used, I can do something similar.
I have a VAG COM cable, so I can access all of the electronics required.
Anyway, let me know if you are interested.
Thanks
Steve
I Know about some problems about VIM with new MMI 3G with K5FAN… serial number. There are new solutions to solve this problems?
Audi S5 – VIM now enabled… :-)
There are news about K5FAN… code ?
Excuse my ignorance. How do I get the serial of my A5 to insert and then get the code? Where is the port to connect the cable vag?
Works great on Audi Q5 2010!! :)
great! works perfect with AUDI 8K !
fatto su audi q5 anno 2010 !!!
tutto ok !!
grazie
Worked great on a 2010 A6 with the 3G unit. Thanks for putting all this together!!

Please help!
i just got a 2010 A6 2.8q
I got number K5FAN1 55A094K……
log in cod doesn’t work.
please help me..
Hi.
I tried today for MMI3G S4 2010,control module 5F serial is K5FAN158A0NHX.
But,generate log in code is 0HAXO. Is this changed the algorithm?
please help me!!
Hi, I’ve never know the Login code that is
K5FAN158A05NW and including some alphabet in latter half of serial.
Can anyone clear this matter.
to kervin
Do you mean A=1 R=2?
K5FAN1-69A15R7 login code :02171 or 01157
If so what does it change N and W ?
Please help
00070 is a mistake. I tried 00071 and 00157.
to kelvin
What is your logic to generate those codes?
to motom
K5FAN1-69A15R7 login code :02171 or 01157
try it…
Worked on 2010 A4!! Thanks Jan!
to motom
If you did that ” K5FAN1-69A15R7. I tried replacing alphabets with 0; 6901507″
I think the code is 00071 or 00157,
Plese retry,and if it will work ,tell me.
I got this number; K5FAN1-69A15R7. I tried replacing alphabets with 0; 6901507, and got 00070, which didn’t work unfortunately.
I tried this because I knew a guy who got the similar number; K5FAN1-xxxxxxx was succesful in generating the valid code. In his case, there is no alphabet included in xxxxxxx. But this shows at least the basic system hasn’t been changed??
I think the alphabet substitutes for a certain 0-9 digit.
I trid today for MMI3G Q5 2010
5F serial is K5FAN158A05NW
But Log in code is 0naw0 !!
please tell me the true login code!!
Yes.
Cheers,
Jan
hello.
i’m a frenchie so excuse me for my english.
is it works with european audi ?
thanks a lot four your answer
Mod works great on 2010 Q5. Special thanks to Peter in Anaheim for use of his VAGCOM.
Can anyone confirm this hack still works for a 2010 A4 with Nav Plus?
I have done this mod on a 2009 Audi A5 and a 2010 Audi Q7 TDI. Worked fine on both vehicles. Thanks for the help.
Works Great on brand new 2010 Q5 delivered March 2010. Thanks so much!
Works on 2010 Q5 (delivered March 2010)
2010 A4 3G MMI/NAV – worked with the 2nd auth code :)
all the VAG cars made after 05/2009 have tuning protection active on. mine too. 2010 A5 sportback 3.0 tdi quattro.
I meant to add that my 2010 Q7 4.2 fsi was delivered 2/1/2010 and has the latest MMI 3G.
Very happy.
Anyone has tried with the very new version of MMI 3G? i.e. The new Audi Q5 2010?
I am asking because people have found difficulties for engine chip tuning in that car model (end 2009-2010), with a necessity to physically open the engine chip box to access the parameters. A classic through VAG-COM cable is not feasable!
Would that be only for engine chip tuning with access still ok for MMI changes?
WORKED GREAT!!! First code worked and I then tested system to prove it. Thanks!!!

Hi Jan,
As for a few others, I just cannot figure out where to find the ID number that you have to input into your VIM unlock-code generator.
Is it the car unique ID number (chassis number, ex WAUZZZ4F…) or is it a number that you can find inside the MMI system itself?
Thanks so much Jan. Just had my Audi A5 2010 MMI3G unlocked.
I can’t believe this works. I almost bought a plug-in. Special thanks to Peter B. in Anaheim, Calif. for the use of his VAGCOM.
Thank you so much!! It worked right away. Got my new Audi S5 Year 2010 unlocked. The numbers in the current (german) VAGCOM have slightly changed. Security Access is 15 instead of 16 for example. However even without the correct numbers the process worked like a charm! Thanks again
sorry for wrong written words but my keyboard is such a pain right now.
I have a friend doing VIM to may car 2010 Audi A5 sportback, but now i save radio station list, radio settings, navigation settings. but after 30 minutes after car stops and lock, the settings are gone and goes back to the settings before VIM. is this possible ? if i do it your way… will be saved the settings i want and all the radio stations list?
Pete, you could always revert the change the way you mentioned. I’t’s highly unlikely you will have any warranty issues with this modification anyway as it’s the official way doing this.
Cheers,
Jan
Splendid Jan, thank you.
Also, do you know whether this leaves a footprint (for warranty purposes) if I was to set it back to “0” before taking it to a dealer?
Thanks for all your hard work by the way!
Pete
Yes Pete, that should work.
Cheers,
Jan
Hi & thanks for the information.
Works perfectly with my Nov 2009 A6 Le Mans. The first code worked perfectly.
Just to check – the value 255 – is that the threshold in KPH? Could I set it to 30 for example to get VIM at slow speeds but not motorway speeds?
MK, that’ not good news. Judging from your feedback it looks like Audi changed the algorithm. Please include any links to forum posts of users in the same situation if you have them.
If it’s as easy as before to reverse engineer the new algorithm, I’ll certainly update the VIM unlock code calculator. As for now I have no information if or when that may happen. You may want to add a subscription to this feed so I can let y’all know when beta testers are needed.
PS.VAG-COM security code can only enter numbers.
help~
Some of the latest MMI 3g (after Feb 2010) does not work. Security code is a mixture of characters.
ex) Login code: 02R6Q
Is there no way? Please help me ~
Hello,

Submit the value from the “Serial number” field in the form below. If there’s more than one serial number, use the first one!
witch code is it, the one i need to generate?
Thx
Newbi question here: Just picked up an A5 with 3G MMI and was wondering if the VIM can be programmed without the VAG COM cable.
Is it possible to remove component protection as well with the generated login code? Maybe changing some adaptation value…
Worked for me. 2010 Audi S5. Thank you very much for the hard work and clear instructions.

How do I know which VAG COM cable I need for my 2010 S5?
2010 S4 B8. First code worked like a charm. Thanks! Probably the same guy from craigslist who rents it for $5/day or $20 per week.
Worked great on the 2010 Audi Q7 (3G MMI)
Fortunately, I did not need to purchase the $300 VAG-COM programming cable. Found someone on Craigslist who was renting it for $5.00 per day!
Folks, so sorry for the newbie questions. I have a 2007 A8L (US model). it has the CD changer (but not the AMI). can I still take advantage of the VIM and other restricted options? if so, what do I need to do/add, etc.? many thanks.

Thanks to you guys
I just took delivery of my 2010 Audi S5 and when I have already downloaded the VAG-COM software from the ross tech website but I need the cable.
Ross tech says that for my S5 I need the VAG-COM HEX-USB CAN which is expensive. Are you guys that are doing the mod on your cars going to a garage and asking to use their cable or are you buying an aftermarket cable. I do see some on ebay for $US 10 to 30 dollars but most that I see are for the older version of the software and I am not sure those cables will be compatible.
Thank you

Hello Jan, have you a idea for the login code for
my a8 mmi 1G ?
regards Mark
Mark, this generator won’t work on your MMI 1G. This is not the 2G in a 2003 A8. MMI 2G devices are only installed in cars built within the last 3-4 years.
Hello, my A8 BJ. Februar 2003 with MMI 2G have this serial.number:300AG037514776
the login from VIM login-code genberator is 07164 or alternative 01476, but this two codes are wrong. please can you help me ???
regards Mark
Ray, please re-read the post and follow the links, it’s all there.
Hello I followed the instructions for enabling VIM on my 2012 L41 Audi Q7 and sure enough it allowed the video to stay on while moving which is great. However I now have an inoperative Engine Start/Stop system which worked fine before and \I can only assume that cancelling the VIM signal has now affected the Start Stop function which must read the VIM signal as it only operates while the vehicle is stopped at lights etc.
Is there a code besides the 255 that perhaps allows video in motion but doesn’t affect the Start/Stop engine control function which I like and saves petrol.
If not I will have to re-enable the VIM restriction so my Start/Stop works again.
thanks,
Nick
Nick,
Did you figure out how to get it working without start stop problem. I would be interested on how you did it.
I have 2014 q7 3.0 . Dvd npinvestingllc@Gmail.com
How do I find out what is my “Serial Number”
Karl, this is not about a TV function in “Media”. It’s about playback while driving if there IS a DVD/TV already there.
DesertRat: No, it won’t. MMI 2G/3G only.
Will this work with the VW RNS-510?
…just made it with VAS505x, login-code without the “0” at the beginning, setting Channel 48 to from value 0 to 255, safe, restart of MMI… but no TV function in “Media”. Did I made anything wrong?
Thanks!
There are some steps pointed out in the instructions of the online generator page. The rest is the same.
“If you’re using a VAS 505x use channel 001 to get the serial number (first field) and remove the leading zero from the generated login-code (4 digits instead of 5).”
Hi, does anybody know how to enable VIM with a VAS 5051 (original VW-diagnostic)? Thanks
Received my 2010 S4 Avant this week. Mod words perfectly! Great watching/ listening music DVD’s over B O 5.1 stereo :)
Thank you very much!
It#s Works….THANKS!!
WOW, work perfectly the first time. Thank you sooooo much. Audi 2009 Q5 – Please keep up the great work!!!
Yes, it is very cool.
Do you think so?
As I said before, it won’t work with any RNS-E or MMI 1G. MMI 2G/3G devices are only installed in cars built within the last 3-4 years.
In my A8 2003, value from the “Serial number” field in the form is 00000000000000 (14 x 0), and login-code generator say: code is 00000 (5 x 0). After that VAG-COm say: wrong number.
Please help.
Done yesterday on my A6 2009 (facelift, MMI 3G) and works fine. me happy! thanks a lot!
Hey habe heute mein DVD im MMI3G freigeschaltet, hat super funktioniert. Danke an die die das möglich gemacht haben ;-)
Works for my german S4 MY 2010, MMI 3G, too.
(The first login code was accepted)
today i tried on my MMI3g A5 and that works. I am guessign that on my MMI2g A4 (i have both) my MMI version unlocking channel is not 63 and must be another one…. if someone know which one to look that would be be great as the login code was accepted but since there is no data in channel 63 i can’t unlock it.
I tried it on my Feb A4 B8 MMI 2G; and the code was acceoted but when i try to read channel 63 it find nothing. I tried with standard as well as with beta versions of VCDS. looks like there is no channel 63 in my MMI2G. it is the module 7 all right… am i doing something wrong ?
Works on a Canadian 2009 Q5 (MMI 3G).
Thanks for the hack!
Worked on MMI 3G, A4 2010 Model.
Thanks!
Gaudi: no, this has nothing to do with component protection.
Chris:
For RNS-E systems see here:
http://audiforum.us/rns-e/4750-vim-hack-how-can-i-break-my-rns-e.html
Works on 2008 A5 US Model.
Can this also be used for removing component protection from for example cd changer or amplifier ?
Thanks very much, it works for my Q7 4L 2009 with MMI 2g.
Thanks very much, it works for my A8 D3 2008 with MMI 2G.
niiiiiiiiiiice, it works with VCDS:-)
Audi A5 MMI 3G
thanx
@Jan: I supposed so… but perhaps s.o. gets the trick with my “RNS-E” ;) Because there are lots of S3s with a TV-module. :D
Chris, this is only for A4-A8, Q5, Q7, S4-S8 with the “real” MMI, not for the RNS-E which is what your car has.
Hi,
tried on an Audi S3 8P (2009) and it didn’t work.
1. I’ve neither an controller on adress 07 nor on anress 5F. The information for VIM is saved in the radio-controller (56) on channel 5.
2. The range for VIM is only 0 or 1 which means 0 for US (0 km/h) and 1 for Europe (up to 5 km/h).
3. My serial no. starts with AUZ…. and not with digits. I tried both login-codes but i got only error messages.
Can anyone proof this?
Thanks guys! I’m getting my new S4 B8 in 2 weeks. Will let you know if I got it to work
kristoffer, no there’s no plan to work on a non-Audi VIM-generator.
Paulo, a Windows-based generator will be available today.
Cheers,
Jan
Hey, I have the 2009 A4 B8 Prem Pkg. I still couldnt figure out how I would get this MMI to work because I dont have the Navi package. Is it still able to work and me some how able to unlock the GPS ?
Are you guys making a similar tool for the VW/Skoda/Seat navigation RNS-510 (aka MFD3) soon?
I have try it today the VIM code generator and it works for me :)
I had Serial Number : 331CE087522224 and i get this codes :

and for me it works : 02242
and i have enabled it the channel 63 in 07 Head Unit – 10 Adaptation

Many thanks Mate!!!!
Thanks a bunch! I just VIM-enabled my shiny new Audi A4 2.0T MY 2010! Dude, you saved me 200 bucks!!
The MMI 3G controller number is incorrect as 07 does not exist. Please change the reference to controller 5F (J974).
Today, we successfully tested the generator on two MMI 2G head units and one MMI 3G head unit. It still needs some fine tuning but we’re almost there.
Yippie ;)
We’re in the final stages of the web-based VIM-code generator. I’m still waiting for some feedback from the beta testers but if they’re all positive, I think we can go live today or tomorrow.
Hi, I am also interested in beta testing your VIM-Code generator. I am looking forward to receive the access to your tool.
Thanks a lot for you work on this.
Hallo,
habe ein VAG-COM und würde gerne an dem Betatest für MMI 2G teilnehmen. Bitte um Zusendung des login-code-generator
I just sent out the URL for the VIM login-code generator to the beta testers. I don’t have access to a MMI 2G so I have to rely on those guys for feedback. I think we may have some (hopefully positive) results within the next two weeks.
I’ll keep my eye on this, as I will soon have MMI 3G and would be extremely interested in that feature for the front passenger.
I like the “for experimental purposes only” part :-))) Cheers Mate!
Niiiiice!!!! A free web based VIM login code generator is a great start but something built into VAG-COM like the long coding helper would rock so much more!
