I have been lurking on these forums for a couple years and usually find what I need without posting. But this time I have looked and have not found an answer to my specific question.

My wife drives a 2008 Q7, on Saturday when we got in to go somewhere the screen did not come on, nor did the buttons on the cd changer or the main mmi console light up and the part in between the gauges shows temperature/mileage/etc. but not anything to do with the stereo. There have been no previous mmi problems, it has never been intermittent. When I pushed the "On" button the MMI spash screen would come on for a couple seconds then go dark again. My first thought was water ingress and fried components. When we got home I looked in the back and everything was bone dry, no moisture and no signs of water that I could see. So I did a scan:

Code:

VCDS Version: Release 18.2.0 (x64)
Control Module Part Number: 4L0 910 468 A
  Component and/or Version: J533__Gateway   H06 0060

Optical Bus Diagnostic : Standard

Controller          		Electrical      	Optical             
19-CAN Gateway      		OK                  	OK                  
07-Control Head(High/D3)	OK                  	OK                  
0E-Media Player 1   		OK                  	OK                  
1E-Media Player 2   		OK                  	OK                  
77-Telephone        		OK                  	OK                  
47-Sound System     		OK                  	ERROR               
56-Radio       		     	OK                  	OK                  
37-Navigation      	 	OK                  	OK                  
0F-Digital Radio(SAT)		OK                  	OK

Since everything is ok electrically can I assume it is not a water problem? Is the 47-Sound System controller a single part (like the CD Changer or the Amp) or is it multiple parts? Any suggestions on where I should start?

I did a complete scan and noticed even though some components said OK above, they did not appear ok in the full scan

I saw some posts saying it could be the battery but this battery is less than a year old and has never given us any issue. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

You have a fault in the optical bus, so I would start there.

Q7 (4L) and A6 Avant (4F) always are known for water issues and while this must not be the case here, start by checking the optical connection between 77 and 47. The simplest way to do that would be to use an optical loop and re-run the optical bus test again, once while the loop replaces the 47 and once while the loop replaces the 77 module. After that you'll know whether or not the issue is with the 77 output diode, the 47 input diode or the optical connection between the two. From there you can narrow things down further.

I did a complete scan and noticed even though some components said OK above, they did not appear ok in the full scan
That's expected. Any 'break' in the optical ring bus takes all the components on the right bus (except the Gateway) off-line.

Lets get another cook on this pot of soup!

MOST Optic bus issues, gotta have yourself and optic loop tool. Part number 4E0 973 802.

An optic error means that module is not receiving optic data. So in your case, the Sound System is not receiving optic data from the Telephone module. 3 reasons this could be happening:

  1. Telephone module failed, not sending optic data.
  2. Optic cable between Telephone and Sound System failed.
  3. Sound System failed, unable to receive incoming optic data.

So you need to get hands the Telephone or Sound System module. I think it will be easier to get to the optic cables at the Sound System. Unplug the optic cables and fit the above optic loop tool in place of the Sound System and then redo the Optical Bus Diagnostics test in VCDS.

You will have one of two results, both of which will include the Sound System still having an optic error:

  1. No change in the testing, Sound System is the only optical error. This means Telephone is sending optic data, passing through the test loop and onto the next module. Failed Sound System
  2. Radio not has optic error as well. This means that no optic data was reaching the Sound System in the first place, so nothing to pass through the loop. Most likely a failed telephone module.

The poor man test... unplug the optic cables from the Sound System and then have some one turn the ignition on. Do you see one of the ends of the optic cable light up red briefly? If so, then that would imply the Telephone send some data.

This soup needs pepper... who has the fresh pepper?

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will get one of those tools and see what I can figure out.

I finally received the optic loop tool (I didn't realize when I purchased it on eBay the seller was in Latvia so it took a while to arrive).

I believe the "47 - Sound System" is the one right behind the access door in the right rear of the vehicle, when I inserted the tool in the loop at that point I now had two errors, one for 47 - Sound System and one for 56 - Radio, as you suggested might happen. I take this to mean the Telephone module is not sending out optical data. From searching online it looks like the telephone module is beneath the passenger seat, but I cannot find a specific part number. Is it the same as the Bluetooth module?

Also, do I need to be worried about component protection on the telephone module? The nearest Audi dealership is a 5 hour drive away so I am really hoping I don't need them to do anything.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

It does appear to be the telephone module is our prime suspect and is located under the passenger seat. Don't worry about the part number of it for now, get under the passenger seat, locate the module with optic cables going to it and use that optic loop tester in place of said module. Then see if your Sound System becomes optic OK.

If the telephone module is in fact bad, you can unplug it electrically, leave that optic loop tester in place, and recode some other modules so they no longer expect a telephone module. A8 crowd knows what I'm talking about.

If you do replace the telephone module, I'm not 100% sure it has component protection... anyone want to chime in here.

Hmm, I'm not sure what to make of the fact that the sound system still shows an error.

MMI with Soundsystem BOSE (8RY)

Correct me if I'm wrong here folks, but in some cases, isn't the radio (R) and "Sound System" (J525) them same module?

With the optic loop in place of the Telephone Module under the passenger seat, can you directly scan address 07 Control Head?
With the optic loop in place of the Sound System at the right rear fender well, can you directly scan address 07 Control Head?

If my somewhat educated guess is correct, you'll be able to scan the Control Head when the optic loop tool is in place of the Sound System.

This is my first Audi but it seems to me the Sound System must be bad. With everything connected like it should be it is the only thing that shows an error. When I put the fiber Optic loop in place of the Telephone module then it shows an error as well (which is expected) but does not change the error in the Sound System. So I am guessing there is an issue with the Optical Input on the Sound System.

Given these things have Component Protection, and the nearest Audi dealership is a 5 hour drive away...I think I will remove it and send it in for repair - does any one have experience with these guys: http://boserepairexperts.eu/

Please do those test and report back.

I put the Optical Loop in place then tried to directly scan 07. I went to 'Select Control Module" and selected 07 - Control Head, I could not access it with or without the fiber optic loop in place. So I tried others; Radio, Navigation, Media Player and none could be accessed, even though they all showed OK on the Optical Scan. Maybe I am doing it wrong, how do you directly scan one component?

Start VCDS, click on [Select] to go to the "Select Control Module" screen, from there, click on whatever item you wish to directly scan.

The MOST Bus system is "all or nothing", it has to be a complete fiber optic circle for any of those modules on that system to talk to VCDS. If a control module itself is bad and "breaks" the optic loop, then you can't directly scan any of those modules.

Right now you have some failure with the MOST bus and we are assuming it is a control module (99.9% of the time it is). Using the optic loop to bypass the [failed] control module would restore the MOST bus so that the other control modules can talk to VCDS.

@Jef-

Thanks for the explanation. That is what I was doing but it does not matter if I put the fiber optic bypass in place of the phone module (under the passenger seat) or in place of the Sound System (in the right rear fender well) I cannot talk to any of the devices. Should I start putting the bypass in place of other modules?

Sound system module includes gateway between copper wired CAN and optical MOST buses. If it is bad or disconnected, You will not be able to connect to any of MOST modules directly.

If bypassing the modules isn't helping, then it is possible there is a failure of the optic cable between the telephone and sound system.

Unplug the fiber optic cables from the Telephone Module.
Have partner cycle ignition on/off several times... you should see one of the fiber optic cables light red briefly. If not, bigger issues. If so, continue....

Plug the optic loop tester up in place of the telephone module.
Unpug the fiber optic cables from the Sound System.
Have partner cycle ignition on/off several times... you should see one of the fiber optic cables light red briefly.

If you don't see the red light at the Sound System, it optic data just isn't making it to the Sound System, this now implies a failed optic cable.
