Here in 2023 this video just helped me fix my A6. Thank you so much
Back to the future 😁 You're welcome 👍
With the aid of your super video, I was able to replace the plastic (fake metal) trim around the gear shift on my 2010 A6. Although you were addressing another situation, your pictures and audio clearly showed me how to replace that nasty trim piece. During a below-zero stretch of 3 days, the metallic-looking finish on the trim piece distorted and bubbled up. Looked very bad. Dealer said it would be about $1,000 to tear into the console, find that trim and replace it. "BS"!. I ordered the piece from Audi for $60 and with your video as a guide, installed it myself... took 30 minutes. Thanks, man. GREAT video.
You're very welcome!
You're right - some stealerships take a "Michael"
Thanks for this great, easy to understand, and complete video. I found that two “side pull” bicycle spokes with spoke nipples and washers or knobs work great for pulling the rear air vent. Saves a bit of money. It takes a surprising amount of force to pull the vent out. I spilled half a cup of coffee all over the MMI buttons - seemed okay for a bit, then everything flashed bright, the display turned off and the buttons stopped working. Following these instructions I managed to take things apart, then I washed the plastic and metal parts, and cleaned the circuit board with alcohol and Qtips. I used an anti static bag (from a PC motherboard) to keep the electronics safe. I put it all back together and everything worked fine! DIY... always better!
Thanks Rick 👍
Glad if it helps.
I'm planning to remove my MMI console for some cleaning job and this video is definitely helpful. Thank you and your lovely family for making it!
You're very welcome 😊👍
I just had to comment on how you are such an awesome Dad ! Great Patience with your little boy. Makes me smile having raised 9 children myself, been there, done that over and over. Never know If I lost the part or if little hands made off with it. :)
Great Job on your videos. Has helped me work on my sons A6 more then once. Thank you.

Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. I also look forward to your AC video.
You are a blessed man, you have a beautiful family. Take care
Thanks so much for the detailed video. I'm no expert but I managed to change the broken button.
Yeaaaah!!!!
You're welcome! I'm not the expert either. The little one was ruling the process.🧐
You just saved me $1,400.00 -$50.00 part on eBay -thank you!
Rusty Williams You're welcome Mr Williams ;)
Thank you! I succesfully replaced the middleconsole of my A6 this week!
Easy 😎👍
Wow man, you are my hero, great job!!! Love how you treat your family while getting the job done ;)
Awesome video. Great dad with plenty patience. I’m in the process in removing my MMI thank you.
Thanks Luis :) Hope it helps..
Thank you very much! I've replaced the console myself using this guide.
Bravo!!!
Cheers from Italy
Sei molto benvenuto :) Sono contento se aiuta ..
Thank you, David. I greatly enjoy your lessons. Some coins fell behind the cover of the first box (light and cup), so I will have to do all this just to remove them! ;-P
All the best, from Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Great Job, thanks and nice patience with your son!
This is really nice , clear and detailed video. Even the young assistant fit in it :) .
Thanks 😊👍 Young one is not assistant, he's the Boss...
Thanks for the great video. We had the electronic parking brake stuck on the A6 so we followed your advice and stripped out the switch and when we cleaned all the grit and dirt out of it it worked fine. We had a new switch so we fitted it anyway. We managed to get it all back together even without a little helper. He's a cute guy! Thanks again. David
Thank you :) I'm glad, if we could help!
Just replaced the EPB switch in my A6 Allroad with the help of this video.
Only took an hour with this for reference. Thanks for the video, brilliant job..
Thanks Joe :)
thanks! excellent video. replaced an MMI controller, peeled brake switch and stop/start switch + replaced a defective older cup holder! appreciate the time you took to video this
You're very welcome :) Glad if it helps!
Thankyou for taking the time to make this video. It made the job so much easier for me.
You have a very helpful assistant with you. 😉
Thanks Brian, glad if it helps :)

Thanks 😊👍
Thank you so much man! Just like a lot of people have said, you saved me so much money and you made it easy.
You're very welcome Mr Wolfy Studios 😎👍
Great video.....just changed my faulty MMI control unit today.....wouldn't have attempted it without your help!! Thank you.
You're welcome :)
Great video! This saved me so much money doing it myself. I bought the circuit board for $50. Audi wanted $500 to replace it.
Thanks :)
hey where'd you buy the circuit board from?
Great Video! Helped me a lot! I spilled coffee on my buttons and now I got them cleaned! thanks,
You're welcome :)
Thanks man I left my sunroof crack and water got into my parking brake switch and parking malfunction kept popping up so order a new parking brake switch
Tried it before putting it before I installed and it work thanks dude your awesome man god bless you and your family.
Glad it helped :)
Thanks a lot, I just changed my hand brake button. You saved me a fortune. Really appreciate the video, thanks mate.
You're welcome 👍
Hey man thanks! This instructional video saved me a lot of money with my '08 S6. My MMI died because of spilled soda. Had to replace the circuit board.
You're welcome :)
Not at all, I learned a lot from your videos, and I will keep following your videos.
You won my like by your patience with your incredible litlle helper.
Thanks 😊
Great video, saved me loads of time and I didn't break anything! 😂 Thanks for posting
Easy 👍 You're welcome 🍺
thank you very much. This will help me to remove the center console in my A6.
Greetings from the Netherlands
+ACMDE Graag gedaan :)
Thanks for the video! I have also some spilled coke in the MMI console making the buttons sticky as well as a "semi-short circuit" in the MMI system. Looking forward to getting this problem fixed!

All what you have to do is to spray alcohol on the buttons, then after seconds everything will be ok. That what I did
I enjoyed the video especially your assistant lmbo. That's exactly how my son is.
Thank you Jamaar :)
Perfect! This Guy helped me as video car mechanic! I did exactly same, and changed, working. You have my subscribe and thumb up!
Thanks 👍
Video made in 2014 , center console swap today 9 oct 2019 . Thank you for the video!
You're very welcome! Greetings from 2014! How you doing there? Flying cars yet? 😉
@@wawayltd i don`t know, i`m on Mars, year 2388, just on vacation in 2019.
Epic video! Very much appreciated. Thank You.
such great content I used this video to replace the mmi on my a6 yesterday!!
You're welcome 👍
Thank You. And You Have The patients of A SAINT!!
+john Baldock Thank you :)
Thank you so so much man, I wish you and your family will be happy forever.
Wow! Thank you very much Uğur 😊
Thank you for a great video, just want to double up on the positive comments.
Please thank the little man. His input was thoroughly entertaining. 😂
He was in charge of the process 😎
@@wawayltd he was and im surprised he let you complete the work. You were his apprentice.
My customer spilt coffee on his stereo so had me install a complete new pioneer stereo system with new speaker wires and speakers. Big job I tell you. Only he has brake warning message up and to rule out the module as coffee damaged it, we will replace it. Problem solving. They arent coded to one another are they. The hand brake module to the car?
I don't think they are, but you might need to clear the error.
@@wawayltd hes driving and gets parking fault D1 whatever that means
I don't know what that is, sorry. I'm not as clever as I pretend to be in my videos.
Thanks for uploading bro.useful video.all the best.
Thank you very much for your instructions ❤
I could save so much money 💰
I wish you all the best 🙏
You're welcome 😊👍
Excellent tutorial..you make it look easy.😊 Thank you so much.
Thanks 👍
Lots was left behind the scenes, especially with the little one 😁
Малой молодец!!! Отцу помогает
Без него не справился бы..
thank you for this video. the first time took me 1 and a half day and the second time 2 hours :)
Thanks :)
Thank you for this video. We have a coin stuck in the space where the lid of the cup holder is supposed to disappear when you open it. Your video might have solved my problem now. :)
Yeah, I've dropped few coins there :))
Yup I have one rolling around there too
Thanks man, amazing work. I have the big round MMi button not functioning, I will proceed to clean and hope it 'll works. I 've just bought this used A6 with this problem. Probably caused by some drink spoiled over here... Best wishes. George
Thanks mate, everybody likes your movies 💪💪

Excellent vid, excellent family, top man.
Thanks 😊
Thank you for this video.
Super to pokazałeś.
Dziękuję
Dziękuję :) Będzie więcej ...
Thank you mate for the good job 💪
You're welcome 👍
Very useful have an a5 and seems most seems very similar
This is a fantastic video, it's really helped me, the only thing I would say is when removing the back piece, after taking out the vents, there are two clips on either side which you didn't mention, which are a bastard to release, I ended up snapping both, other than that I can't thank you enough for this guide.
Thank you! :) And sorry for not mentioning the clips. Sometimes those clips can vary, the angle of catch varies - some of them can be just pulled out, some have to be pressed with screwdriver. It can vary from model to model.. But I'm glad that my videos help people :) Thank you!
Upon MUCH closer inspection, my 2009 A6 Prestige, has TWO screws holding that console down. I am currently trying to figure out how the heck they got those screws in there. Cant see if they are torx or Phillips.
"Uhh just watch this video in a mirror idk"🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! Skål from Sweden!
Jag är glad att det hjälper 😉
Another great video. Thank you
