Default Resetting TPMS without MMI

My MMI screen is currently black. Is there a way to re-set the TPMS without the MMI screen?

Unfortunately no unless you have a OBDeleven device that can connect via bluetooth to your phone to reset it. And also why is your MMI screen blank and will you be repairing it soon??? You could just measure each tire pressure to make sure its ok and ignore the TPMS warning sign until the MMI screen is fixed and then reset it. Just laying the process out lol.

Does your A7 actually have TPMS? My 2013 does not. Instead of TPMS, Audi has used a system that monitors tire revolutions to sense under/over inflated tires.

If your MMI screen is black, but you can still control the radio, it's likely the power wires to your screen broke or shorted. I had this problem last week. There's a good video on YouTube showing how to disassemble the dash to get to the wires. On mine, the two power wires had their insulation break off so they shorted and blew the fuse. I cut the wires, spliced in more flexible wires, put it all back together, replaced the fuse and it works like new. Seems odd Audi would have used wire with hard insulation in a place that has to flex every time the screen goes up or down, but they did. It's actually an easy fix. Took about an hour.
