    I have watched many videos from you! The way you explain everything is so great! Your efforts have given me the confidence to work on my 2006 A6 (C6). I've done a brake job (rotors & pads all around), changed O-rings on the variable timing solenoids (which stopped a massive oil leak the previous owner hadn't addressed), that led me to have a go at detailing the engine bay last weekend. Also, the MMI has been giving me issue ever since I took ownership two years ago. I've replaced the battery (under warranty) at least 4 or 5 times, thinking that the battery was faulty after the drain from the bad MMI. It was the Sirius radio transmitter that was bad! I bought a $10 fiber optic loop off amazon and swapped it out last weekend, came right back on just like your video! thanks so much brother! Keep your 2005 going and the videos coming! Thank you so much!

    5:32 yes you are right,. That`s the XM radio, my car came without and without navigation as well, I ended up buying a used DVD Nav. for around $40 USD and used the XM Radio link cable to connect it to the antenna since it had one there already, I didn't have the XM Radio module anyway, and I didn`t want to purchase a "fakra cable" and run it trough since it had one there but wasn't used anyway...
    I ended up not using the navigation either, Waze can't beat yet by anything.
    But in the end, I purchase an MP3 Module ($140 at that time, in 2018), I place it in the glove box, upper wall compartment and I am able to play music from a Micro SD card or via Bluetooth from my phone, but I prefer from Micro SD card since it plays at 320kb like CD quality. Works with MMI interface, it displays songs on the LCD you can play/pause from the MMI console buttons which is just great!

      That happened to me too. I let somebody use the car for a while. When I took the car back, the middle MMI knob was not working well. He probably did not know how to use it and tried to tilt it. When I removed the knob, it was broken. I replaced it with another one and it fixed the problem.
      Try removing the knob to inspect it. To remove it, pull it up. It has a sort of spring and a plastic ring under it. If the plastic ring is broken, you have to replace to knob. To install a new one, just push it in.

      If you replaced the CD player with a used one taken off another car, the car will reject it. To make the car accept it, you should have component protection reset on the CD player at an Audi dealership. I believe component protection is to prevent theft. Some other electronic parts also have component protection.

    Thank you for the video and I wonder if you can help. I have a 2007 A6 2.7 Tdi in UK and it too now has MMI problems. The screen stays on ok but works super slow and doesn't complete any tasks on any system. The radio switches in and out every 5 seconds. I bypassed the Sat Nav, Amp and FM radio units in the back with the fibre optic loop but its still not working. (I haven't looped the CD auto changer as it looks hard to get to in the glove box). It also makes the same quiet popping sound as yours did from the speakers but I don't have the Sirius sat radio unit. I had a slightly sticky button for years but it all worked fine. I removed the centre console to clean the button and took out the MMI board to check it, and it looked ok. I still got the popping sound even with the board out.
    Do you have any ideas. Thanks in Advance
