I'd be curious to see what happens when you take it in for service and if the audi mechanics notice something interesting with the software. I would not want this to void any kind of warranty that I have.

lmao- but what if your car gets reflashed at the dealeror something? you woudn't want to throw it away right? can you plug the dongle again and it will work?

Good question....

Does it have to be a DVD? Or can we watch movies through the provided iphone cable from our phones

Depends on the AMI cable and iPhone model. If you have an older iPhone with 30 pin and AMI cable, or the latest AMI lightning cable with an iPhone 5 or later, yes, it should work so long as the video files on your phone meet the file type and max resolution spec requirements as found in your MMI manual.

While uncommon, if a dealer reloads the MMI for some reason, i.e. software glitches, it will likely reset any mods back to default. Most MMI updates will not usually affect mods of this type. It sounds like all this thing does is make a change that Vag-Com could do if one knew the bit coding. Obviously this guy figured it out and found a way to make some money. At least until someone else does as well and decides to share it with the A3/S3 community like most do. That he coded the dongle for a single use shows where his head is at on this.

was surprised it worked.

"Driving away watching DVDs."
Oh boy.

LMFAO i just had to say it. honestly i will never ever watch dvds while driving.
only for the test. think i got up to 40mph. again wont use this unless my woman wants to watch a dvd on a trip to vegas or something.

just popped in the dongle. some stuff flashed. screen went up and down. slapped in a dvd and voila im driving down the road watching dvds.
very interesting method of flashing/ hacking the car

That's a relief. I was going to ask where you live so I could call an ambulance service to be on stand-by.

On a serious note, a safe use of VIM is to listen (only) to music videos.
