2008 Q7 3.6 how do you bypass the programming dealership and get the MMI working?? Also do you need the vag com cable to reprogram after battery replacement and is that something a text should have for this model??

Yes to the updating after a battery replacement. I would think that a tech would have that available if they specialize in VAG products.

Agree with Wess, you will need the cable from Ross-Tech, the program is downloadable and free.
What exactly do you mean by "bypass the programming dealership"?
And what is wrong with your MMI?
