Does your Audi MMI screen stay black, does the system keep rebooting, or can it no longer read the navigation DVD? A faulty rotary controller can also prevent normal operation. Not every Audi MMI fault means the entire system needs replacement. The exact generation and symptoms matter.
Pixelfehler Hamburg has over 20 years of experience in automotive electronics repairs. Where a repair is possible, your original unit can be retained. With booked repairs, outbound and return shipping within Germany are included; a free shipping box with packing materials is available on request in Germany.

Which Audi MMI faults can be repaired?
Audi MMI refers to several different systems, including MMI 2G, MMI 3G and RMC. These systems have different components and potential faults. Typical symptoms include:
- MMI fails to start, freezes on the logo or repeatedly reboots
- The screen stays black and navigation or media functions are unavailable
- Navigation DVD or CD cannot be read or ejected
- The MMI rotary controller fails to respond
- A radio or control module stops working
A black display alone does not prove that the main MMI unit has failed. Please contact us before booking a repair if you are unsure about the cause.
MMI 3G does not start or the screen stays black
In a compatible MMI 3G system, an internal electronics fault can cause startup problems, a frozen system or repeated restarts. This needs to be distinguished from a display fault or problems in another module.

Other models are covered in our Audi navigation repair collection.
MMI DVD drive does not read discs
If the MMI system still works but the navigation DVD is not read or ejected, a dedicated DVD drive repair may be the right option. A drive failure is different from a complete system failure.

Audi MMI rotary controller not working
The control unit itself can develop a fault. We offer a targeted rotary controller repair for selected RMC systems. This does not automatically cover all volume controls or other buttons.

Not sure whether you have MMI 2G, 3G or RMC? Send a photo of the unit and a description of the fault on WhatsApp. The part number is useful if available.
Why repair the original Audi MMI?
- Retain your original unit when a repair is technically possible
- Avoid unnecessary replacement with an unfamiliar used system
- Reduce electronic waste

Whether settings are retained or coding is required depends on the system and the work carried out. We cannot promise the same result for every model.

Frequently asked questions about Audi MMI repair
My Audi MMI screen is black – do I need a new navigation system?
Not necessarily. A black screen can have several causes. Correct system identification and fault diagnosis are important.
Can the MMI DVD drive be repaired separately?
Yes, for compatible units we offer separate DVD drive repairs when the rest of the system is operational.
Can I bring my Audi to your workshop?
No. We repair removed units sent to us by post. A local workshop can remove the module from your vehicle.
How do I choose the correct repair?
Compare your system and symptoms with the repair product description. If unsure, send us photos and a short fault description via WhatsApp.
