05 A8L Gauge numbers no longer showing at night
I recently took my A8L to the dealer for an oil change and various other small fixes. At the same time he programmed me another of the advanced key.
Now at night the numbers on the gauges (Speedometer) do not show only the needles show.
I have looked through the manual and through the MMI and have not found anywhere to turn this back on. Can anyone help me find out where to turn this back on at?
BTW the picture is below my car that I took on my first 2800 mile trip with very little problem. Only had to add a quart of oil. Long story for another day.

By any chance did you also have your dealer remove the seatbelt chime?
They could easily have messed up the settings described in <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8d3/msgs/27002.phtml">this post</a> by Der Kimbo.

Re: if you have an EZ Pass try removing that from the car
Check your fuses and restart MMI...See if any of that works.
EZ Pass was interfering with my car and I removed it for a few hours and then everything worked okay.

Re: Any other ideas?
I'd take it back to the dealer and tell them you had "Needles and Scales ON" before your oil change, and now mysteriously have "Needles ON, Scales OFF." After you explain to them that this isn't a skin condition, they'll figure out how to change it back for you. It's not something you can do via MMI.

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. 8^)
I have the vestigial mini-MMI:

And yes, it is hiding under the cup holder cover. Did your D2 have nav?
