when i changed my MMI head control unit, i just got the EEprom from the old one and changed it over to the new one, the eeprom had the info in it for CP so when i changed this it went away and worked ever since. have a look at my video on it

Yes, excellent solution. Although I’m not sure I’d trust myself to not screw it up. I have very little experience working with electronics on a component level basis so I don’t think I have the skillset to do it.
A “how to” video for dummies like me would be very useful!
After you have negotiated the Deal then come back an Start a Thread on how to Fix MMI 07 Control Head. I will help you get a Brand New Unit for under $400 show you how to Drop the Glove Box and Plug in the New Unit. It will come with the Component Protection removed so you'll just Plug & Play.!
can you still get these control heads with cp unactivated
Well if that’s the actual unit then the SW is the A6 version as it starts with 4F0 which is the C6 A6 model code. Screen shot below.
You might get lucky, but installing that will very likely give you unresolvable CP problems, as well as other glitches. Running the MMI update won’t make any difference unfortunately as this is something that’s apparently hard coded.
This is the one I rec'd. Has a additional port there ( I think someone said camera) but not sure what is my next move - try to heat-in that EPROM chip or ??
What is the part that goes out on these?? Is it the big uF capacitor?
Yep component protection is active. Also says needs the adaptation.
OK do I use the heat gun trick - or dealer it? I tried the heat gun and pulled the chip already...
PS: My energy management or battery module is toast/not responding. Dang. Might have to trade this thing in for something more reliable like a Maserati Quattroporte crica 2007
