I am new here . This is my 1st post .
Please forgive me if I posted in the wrong area.
Has anyone had their MMI module fail and need to be replaced ?
I have a 2011 Audi S5 CAB ,APR tuned stage 2 67,000 KM My my mmi module needs replacement and Audi wants $6,999 for a replacement .
I asked my Audi dealer "if I'm spending this much ,could I up grade modules "?
I was told an upgrade would not work in my car.
Below are my car's build specs taken from my VIN # ,if it helps.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Barry2dr Cabriolet Auto Premium.
