Jacking mode
Is there a way to switch to jacking mode without using the MMI system. Im about to attempt to change my oil and filter and i need to jack up the car. the only problem is the option for jack mode and air suspension is gone due to me replacing the battery and i cant drive the car to an audi place for them to reset my mmi to get those options back yet due to me needing oil change( no oil on dipstick)

Will Rhino ramps fit under the bumper without the car in jack mode?
The car knows it's being jacked up. SSP #??? says raising the car quickly helps in this regard.
You can reset the MMI with a three-button combo (I can't recall, STFA) but not sure it'll help.
Be sure the battery is good, either have a 15A charger hooked up ( "-" goes to big hex post above the battery) or the engine running.

No problems using ramps

Rolls right on, front or rear. I looked at doing my first oil change in lift mode. Could not get under the car. The jack mode has no effect when using ramps.

They will fit for the car to roll on, jack mode just make sure the suspension isnt constantly adjusting itself because it detects the car is lifted from being jacked up with floor jack i think. I read somewhere that if you dont put in jack mode it could affect the air bags or suspension one of those for good but it also might not toss up

i think the ramps might work because the car wheels are still in contact with something rather than just hanging and system guessing the whole time, makes sense to me..

I'm in a bit of a jam. Would it be unwise to get an oil change at a quick lube place if I take an OE
