MMI 2G software update brought stability and performance fixes, also new features like GPS map 3D view. Newest version is 5570.Enable VIM TV- playback using VCDS/VAG- COM in your Audi MMINow, this is something for the Audi folks. If your Audi is equipped with a MMI TV- module or a DVD- player, security restrictions have been applied to stop video- playback while your car is moving above a certain speed threshold. This feature is also called VIM (Video In Motion) lock. There’s a guy from Russia who offers a VAG- COM/VCDS based solution to disable this restriction but a) he wants your precious money for this hack and b) he needs online access to your computer and to your car to set the VIM threshold. There are also expensive, CAN- based programming cables on the market for the same purpose. Changing the VIM- threshold requires you to set a higher threshold value to a so called adaptation channel in your MMI head unit. Unfortunately, this channel is read- only unless you use a proper login code first. The login code is derived from a unique component ID in your car. Once you know this number you can write to that adaptation channel and set the threshold to any value you want to, whenever you want to and as many times as you like. Please read the instructions to learn how to obtain the component ID (it’s not the vehicle ID number VIN) from the MMI head unit. This component ID then has to be entered in the VIM code calculator. Using some creative witchcraft (I can’t be more specific but it didn’t involve any of the mentioned commercial solutions) I figured out how the VIM unlock login- code is being calculated. I wrote a free web- based VIM- code generator so anyone can disable the VIM restrictions, you just need someone with a VAG- COM/VCDS to do it for you. Audi MMI 2g hidden green menu description. Functions, features actiovation, coding and adaptation for A4, A5, A6, A8 and Q7 without VCDS. If you don’t own a VAG- COM/VCDS diagnostic cable you may be interested to know that there’s a VAG- COM locator available. Fortunately, the VIM unlock login- code generation algorithm is the same for the MMI 2. G and 3. G (at least as of July 2. TV/DVD- playback at all vehicle speeds for the MMI 3. G as well!
