If you have a disc unit in the glove box, it's removed using the same keys as the in-dash disc unit. I needed trim pry tools too, so got a kit on amazon that had all of it.
Amazon Amazon
If you look at the five pairs of dash unit removal keys, it's the middle one in the lower row. So you can find them alone on amazon and eBay as well. At least the ones in this key are very sturdy.
Just look for Audi MMI removal keys or such.

Not sure what you are saying. "Check modules for MMI". What are you trying to do? The ECU is in the engine bay, no where near that area. The main brains for the MMI system is behind the climate controls. Did you mean MMI or AMI?

That might have been the instrument cluster control module, but it certainly wasn't the ECU. The ECU is in the engine bay. (ECU = engine control unit, though maybe you're using it as a generic term electronic control unit?)
What's the actual problem you're trying to resolve? Did you do a scan and you have some DTC from some module? Or some operational issue?

We have no idea what you are trying to do or what the problem is. Now you want us to watch a 5 min video in German to achieve what? Proper sentences might help too.
