This video instruction was clear,conscise and to the point. Disassembly and reassembly took less than 15 minutes which saved me the $350 labor quoted by our local Audi dealership. Thank you so much.

Great video. Note that if you want to remove the MMI unit, you have to separate the plastic cover from the base plastic unit. There are 3 screws that you have to remove - all around the cup holder. The rest of the cover can be pried off. There are 4 screws in each corner of the MMI unit that hold it in place. I removed and opened the MMI unit and cleaned the circuit board with electronic cleaner. My MMI unit had a run-in with Diet Coke. Unfortunately cleaning it did not work for me. The NAV/tel and the menu buttons still don’t work. Next step is eBay to get a used one.

My back button is sticky and hard to push down. Do you recommend taking the whole console out as in this video or just trying to pop the button out?

@@lukestaub359 yes. My back button was basically frozen due to spill… I followed the instructions and was able to clean it and now it’s better than new. That’s the only way… I’ve tried non-intrusive products where it claims to dissolve sticky stuff by leaving it soaked into the button and that never worked. The button cannot be popped out due to design.

Well done, short and to the point. Good job of explaining common mistakes that can cause damage during remove. Thank you!

Do you have a video on how to remove/replace the armrest storage tray for a B9?

Have you got a video on the other interior trim on the a4 b9? The rest of the door trim and centre console trim.

Subscribed !! I wish I came across this when I had an A4. Can you please post how to remove the overhead console on 2019 A6 please????

Thank you for this! I'm able to get most of the way there, but the clips around the cup holder area on my 2017 A4 are not budging, and I don't want to crack the plastic. Any ideas?

Great video, my presets panel is glitching meaning I can’t see the sat nav when on. If I replace the part 8W0919614N, does it need reprogramming in the back end?

Thank you so much for this video. Would anyone know how to remove the center console on 2022 cabriolet? The rooftop controls are located where the 1st screw is located on this video. Does that mean the screw was omitted and i can proceed with 2nd step?

Can you take out the aluminium trim around the gear box separately? Mine needs touching up with some lacquer as it's been marked. Thanks.

If I wanted to change the silver trim around the gear selector do I need to remove this giant section of the center console or can I get away with just removing the gear knob and leather?

Is it possible to remove the part with the radio buttons and rotary knob separately?

I don't think it can. I struggled to get the console out and was able to just spray some "CRC QD Electronic Cleaner" while working the buttons for a few minutes to get it the menu and back buttons unstuck

Can you remove just the buttons? I spilled a lemonade on the console and the buttons are sticking.

dose anyone know where the airbag module is ?

The central console of my a5 (2018) makes some annoying noises. I think it is coming from the center console trim. Do you have any experience with this? Is it a matter of tightening the screws? The noise started a year ago.

What if your car is the convertible version

amazing! will it be the same for the 2020 model?

Does anybody know if the MMI Control (buttons and dial) are coded to the car? I can get a replacement for £160 and with this video, i can just replace it myself. But i dont want to do that unless its not going to cause coded issues later. The dealer wants over £1300 for a replacement (due to spilt drink making the buttons sticky)
