Audi A3 (8V) MMI (2012 – 2020) Navigation unit

Audi A3 8V MMI Sat Nav Unit Repair

Complete loss of sound while the display carries on as normal is one of the most common A3 8V MMI navigation unit faults, and audio cutting in and out is often how it starts. Other A3 owners find the screen staying black, sometimes with no button lights either. The navigation unit handles the MMI’s audio, maps and media, so a fault inside it can take out one function or all of them. We repair the A3’s own unit by post: your garage, or you, removes it and sends it in, and it comes back ready to plug in again.

Is the A3’s Nav Unit Really at Fault?

No sound can also be an amplifier, speaker wiring or a fuse, and a black screen with no button lights points at the power supply as much as the unit, so check fuses and battery voltage before anything is removed. Map trouble can come from the SD card or the GPS aerial, and a dealer software update clears some glitches. Tell us exactly which functions have gone on the repair form, or contact us.
