I both emailed and called about a week ago. There has been no response at all from Emmanuele. I will try calling again before considering disputing the charge with my credit card company.

Did you plug the device in your car before pressing the ON button your car or afterwards?
It worked without a hitch for me when I did it last month. Plugged it into the port, pressed the ON button to turn on the electronics. The MMI opened up and then closed down, and came back up. DONE!

Press the ON button before plugging in the dongle
Plug dongle in
Wait for the MMI to reset
After this didn't work, I tried plugging in the dongle then pressing the ON button. For both attempts, the MMI never reset even after ten minutes of waiting.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Latest update. You are right. Once I actually got in touch with Emmanuele (there were probably email issues), he had me do some troubleshooting without any success. He will be sending out a replacement so hopefully by next week, my issue will be resolved.

Replacement arrived today as promised. Plugged it in and worked like a charm this time. Emmanuele has my endorsement! Credit to the Audi community. Thanks!

Totally agree!
Those are the two things i most wanted on my S7
VIM and Sequential Turn signals.
Still trying to find a solution for VIM
will be ordering the cable from KAPTrader

Other than additional storage for video content, is there really any advantage of why you want to attach your smartphone/tablet to the MMI so that you can view your smartphone/tablet through the MMI????
But staying on topic with this thread.
The VIM unlocking will work wonders as far as playing back music videos, or just videos in general stored on the SD cards and DVD player.
But I still think this should be offered up free from Audi.
It's the least they could do.
along with an update that adds dynamic indication to the rear tail lights.

My system already allow me to miracast with VIM so I haven't try it, but OBDeleven has the code for 8V to allow VIM, and it's only $60, plus you can use longcode etc just like VCDS. Downside, only works with Android, no iOS version yet.

the procedure required me to use part of the modules serial number as a code. i do not remember the full steps. but it was pretty straight forward
