Faulty MMI

[Rob55]

We have a 2011 A4, the MMI randomly goes black and then comes on again. There’s no faults reported in VCDS, took it to a local auto spark who says the offending unit is the item below which we have removed. Going to fit another off eBay, but can anyone tell me does it need coded and if so can it be easily done with VCDS?

I would guess that it will need Component Protection dealt with. That can only be done properly with an on-line connection to the VAG server farm, and they won't let VCDS access it.

Install the replacement and post an Auto-Scan, then we can tell you for sure.
