Mark-Putey

They fixed it for £60 So I was very pleased (and a little surprised).

I have no problems with the radio. That works fine.

I replaced the battery with the one recommended for this model. I didn't notice any codes on the battery. and I don't know where these would need to be set on the car. There is no option I can see on the MMI for battery code entry. I've booked it in at Jack Barclay (HROwen) tomorrow so hopefully will have some sort of official explanation soon ...

I've just been called by an Audi mechanic who tells me to disconnect the battery again (negative) wait 2 mins (without keys in ignition) then try and reconnect it without causing a spike and the system should have reset. He says the code is only for the radio and my radio doesn't have a problem. I asked him how to reconnect without causing a spike and he said touch the connection back on the battery and if you see sparks disconnect and try again, after a couple of attempts it won't spark and all will be good. This sounds a little odd to me, but maybe worth a try.

I've just dropped my first Q in .. Battery replaced - need new code Audi Audio / Video / Electronics / Security Thanks to any who can help...

Hi A few months ago I needed a new battery. This was easily replaced. However I now find I've lost half the functions available eg the ride height. The car will still lower at speed but only automatically I no longer have any control over this. My trusted mechanic tells me it might have been due the the way the battery was changed and I'll need to get Audi to give (sell) me a new code to reset it. Does anyone here have any experience of this ?

Hi Guys & Girls I've had an A8 Q for many years now and I'm now starting to have a few questions that I'm sure I'd be better off asking here rather than at a dealers....
