Sorry. I was under a different (obviously wrong) impression.

Default 4E0

Bigdawg,
What are the HW:numbers and the SW:numbers on the replacement unit you installed ?

Below are pictures of a 2004 A8 mmi and a 2005 A8.

the 04 is SW:4E0 910 729 B 015, and the 05 is the other, NOW if you installed a unit with a 4F0 also pictured that will not work as it is for a A6.

Just thinking all possibilities....
