Audi MMI 2G hidden red menu was created mostly for easy software updates of your Multimedia Interface system. In this hidden menu you can also find information about cars equipment (CD changer, navigation, TV tuner, Audi Music Interface…).
This description was created based on software version 5570. If your car is using older software, you might find some differences.
Warning!
(makes no sense to me)I wanted to do the MMI update and get the AMI bluetooth kit so I can stream from my iPhone. First thing in my task was to get the MMI from version 11.9.0 to 46.1.0 MMI 2G Update Software.
Performing this procedure may cause permanent damage to your car.
Do this at your own risk!
