Default Interior lightining working only when engine started

I have A4 2010. Interior lights and MMI is working only then, when i start the engine. I checked with vag com - no faults, i checked fuses - all ok. Battery is full charged. So where is the problem?

Sorry for my english

You do know that you can turn on the car without starting it, right?
Either press the start button or push the key in to the slot with your foot off the brake.
All electronics including lights can then be operated without the car running.

Obviously, if your MMI won't come on when you go into "accessory mode", something is broken. Take it to the dealer and get it fixed under warranty.
