Hi,
My 5F (nav/radio/brain/gubbins) died on my Audi A6 C7. It actually emitted smoke out the dashboard!
A replacement from Audi is frankly stupid money (>£2k), but many it seems are available used on ebay etc.
I am told a 'new' unit requires coding to the vehicle. does that have to be done by a dealer or can it be achieved with VCDS?
I phoned my local dealer today and asked them and they told me "They recently tried to do this and were unsuccessful" but for £135/hr they were willing to try!!!!
Please tell me i can do this, with a little help from you guys, i'd much rather bung you money than an audi dealer!
Also, My 5F part number is 4G0.035.193.F I can't find an exact match but i'm guessing the "Flaming Death" version i have was superseded?
