Audi S6 satnav MMI issues
Discussion
Hi all, I have a 2007 S6 avant, V10 runs lovely but the MMI screen and system has stopped working, no radio, bluetooth, sat nav.
I have been to an independant specialist who was unable to help diagnose and said try main dealer as their kit goes deaper. Audi dealer tells me that the SatNav unit is not working and that has caused the screen and system failure.
Option 1 £1,900 to replace unit - guess what I said
Option 2 £350 to code around the Nav unit so everything else works and no nav.
My thoughts are what about buying replacement unit form ebay and changing the box, is it plug and play as all the wiring, etc is of course fitted, or as suggested by the Audi main delaer when I asked them, is it coded to the MMI/chassis of each car so not as simple. Lots of units for sale on ebay......can anyone help?
Can I just replace the unit?

thanks for all the advice and interestinly I have recently had replaced the rear washer pipe.
my problem is my independent specialist was unable to see enough to advise and so he advised me to put in Audi main dealer hands, if I replace the satnav box (seen ebay c£250) it will still need codeing into the car system min £100 with no guarantee it will reboot the MMI, so risk at £350 at least.
OR £350 Audi wire around and I get Radio/Bluetooth phone, but if it doesn't work then they are obligued to correct at no extra as they have Main Dealer diagnosed.
£1900 to replace unit is out of my league when a Tom Tom is £200 for full European mapping.
Gears and cogs are easier!!
