You might need GEM (Green engineering menu) activated and use User Defined Mode and manually select all that is under AUDI_MMI3G_ECE if it's not selected.
Warning - FW update K0900 is removing the "Emergency Update" option from the "Green Menu". There is a way that this can be fixed.
• Emergency menu activation on K0900 firmware. [ Only for A5OC ]
• To enable the Green Menu you could use VCDS, VAS or the following script [ Green menu activation ]
• 03623 [ 03623 Remove ]
Do not use MAC to unpack and/or copy the files to the SD card.
Q&A section
Here are some of the questions raised by the forum members about the update process that I might failed to explain in the manual.
Q. Do i need VCDS to do the update?
A. No, you need VCDS only to clear some errors after the update but the MMI will function correctly even if you don’t clear them out.
Q. I have a Bang & Olufsen sound system not a Bose. Does this also mean that i need to exclude it?
A. Yes, better not to update the DSP system.
Q. Do I need to format the hard drive?
A. You only need to format the hard drive if performing a region change.
Q. I have mmi 3gp , version P0XXX can i go straight to K0942?
A. Yes.
Q. If the Google Maps option is greyed out...
A. Reinstall the GEMMI_nav component from the K0942.
Q. 01043 - Control Module; Incorrect Software Version - How can i solve this ?
A. Restart the MMI and remove the key from ignition then put it back in. The error should change from 01043 - Control Module; Incorrect Software Version to 03276 - Please Check Software Version Management.
Q. What does the new firmware bring in terms of added functionality?
A. Not much, apart from K0770/K0767 fixing the issues with the SIM data connection and Bluetooth usage at the same time.
Q. What are 03276 and 03175, will they affect the MMI in anyway and how can they be avoided?
A. 03276 - Please Check Software Version Management will appear every time when the software is updated w/o VAS connection to the VW/Audi servers.
03175 - Invalid Data Set will appear when updating the map w/o deleting it first. Sometimes this helps to avoid that error.
They will not affect the functionality or the sound characteristics of the MMI.
Q. Is there a way to use used defined mode w/o "Green Menu"?
A. Yes. In file metainfo2.txt in the root folder if you remove the line "MetafileChecksum=XXXXXX" and add
EnableUserDefinedSWDLMode = "true"
skipMetaCRC = "true"
the you will be able to use the user mode w/o the green menu.
Q. I get error code 140 during the update process.
A. Error code 140 is related to HDD write errors, multiple retries are generally successful.
Q. I get error code 150 during the update process.
A. Error code 150 is a "write" error, associated with a read-only or no-space-left on the HDD partition.
Q. I get error code 160 during the update process.
A. Error code 160 usually means the Update process cannot find the SOURCE file on the SD card to install on the HDD. So, recheck your SD card and make sure it contains the correct folders and contents.
