MMI Display
Is there a way to close the MMI display? The power button only turns off the screen. I want to retract the screen into the dash like it does when the ignition is off.

- adaptation (relatively safe) - this is when the manufacturer foreseen a possible need to tweak parameters and there is an interface and variable that dealer can adjust using diagnostic tool (other tools take advantage of that as well, like OBDeleven).
- long coding (not so safe) - this is when modders (or otherwise know as hackers) figure out how to change individual bits in NVRAM to change behavior, something that manufacturer either didn't want you to adjust or they have not foreseen the need to do so
- EEPROM coding - this is the lowest (or hardest, most dangerous) type of coding, generally done only by manufacturer at the factory, normally refereed to as firmware upgrade/update, currently not possible via available tools. Some companies figured out how to do that using OBD dongles (I think Kufatec does this on limited bases).

Have a 17 now with a 19 due in anytime, I will miss this feature and hope Audi will permit dealers to enable if asked by the customer.
Audi of America: having the ability to retract the screen provides a better view of the road etc...pls address. Thanks

When screen is out of the way, It looks like you sit in a movie theater with nobody in front of you.
Sometimes I just close the screen and enjoy the view. When you think about it, it doesn't obstruct the view of the road as much but with the screen away it's a nice flat clean look.

If Audi made the change to no longer allow the MMI screen to retract in Q7’s built May 2018 or later in order to be in compliance with new US federal law requirements, you can be pretty sure that they locked the code down so it cannot be altered...

unreal, how is that a safety enhancement? I would think having it retracted would be safer in a few aspects
