I am curious if there are any useful configurations to be done. I know people have the green menu enabled, but I have never read about what it is they want it for.

I'm curious to hear myself. I haven't done anything to my MMI so far and I'm not sure what it can and can't do.

I'd love to have a tray table behind my passenger seat though. Guess where I got that idea!

I only use it to turn the cluster back on after the MMI update.
Never use it again,
Cheers,

Nothing really directly. I have used it a few times just to finalize some mod where the steps require you to go into it after VCDS related work to check a configuration box. On D4 I found you can use it to increase the B&O preamp levels, but those seem more throttled back at stock than on D3.

A bunch of small things can be modified and enabled - e.g. stuff your car doesn't support (Oil Level reporting, for instance) - but also there's a horrible trap waiting in there.

Someone reported their kid was pressing buttons, ended up in the menu, and clicked 'Start bootloader". This will stick until a bootloader CD is put in the changer and it loads. He was unable to do anything until he reinserted his CD player, inserted the 4610 update disc, and let it install.

If you don't need it and don't have any use for it, I'd disable it. I am going to after I restore everything from the MMI upgrade.

'Modifications to the MMI' is just one of the functions of the 'hidden green screen' but I believe mods are more easily and safely done with VCDS if you've got it. There are also some dangerous areas here.

However, one function I've found occasionally useful is the navigation data that is available on the 'green screen'. The navbox generates all sorts of high resolution data, which it presents to the MMI. Some is ignored and not shown, other data is rounded.

Just select Navigation / GPS Daten on the green screen to see some key data that the MMI doesn't show.

I've found the following useful:

a) it displays an extremely accurate clock from the GPS satellites [albeit in UTC / GMT] but you just need to use your local offset.
b) it displays your road speed [albeit in knots - the unit of choice of boats and spaceships]. The displayed speed is actually tenths of a knot; that is, a speed of 432 is actually 43.2 knots. Multiply the knots value by 1.15 to get MPH to see how fast you're really going and how accurate your speed is indicated by the car.
c) It shows your reasonably accurate GPS determined 'actual' height above sea level - I think that the units are metres. Multiply metres by 3.28 to get the height in feet.

PO had some work done and the Computer 2 MPG were not displaying. I was able to enable it.
