Stefan, I have done some testing on this today and can conclude that this is a systematic fault. Here's what I did:
1) Checked for DTCs and found this one with a count of 28 and dated 9/9/18 (the last date that I used VCDS and cleared all DTCs)
2) Cleared the DTC. Cycled car power and checked again. DTC had returned with today's data and a count of 1. Cleared it.
3) I temporarily removed FIS-Control MMI from the display, restoring the MMI to "stock" connection.
4) Powered up car and checked VCDS. No DTC. Cycled power. No DTC. Once more to be certain. No DTC.
5) I carefully inspected all the cables and connectors and they looked OK. Then I reconnected FIS-Control MMI, but decided to "swap" the ends of the cable just in case this would make a difference.
6) Powered up car and checked VCDS. No DTC.
7) Cycled power. This time the DTC had returned. Cleared it.
8) Repeated this power cycling several times, taking careful note of the time of power-down and up again.
9) On each check there was the same DTC with a count of 1, corresponding to the exact time I turned power OFF.

To me this suggests that there is no bad connection, but that for some reason there is an incompatibility between FIS-Control MMI and my specific car in the way that the power management system turns off the power.

Since this DTC is the only symptom and FIS-Control MMI appears to work as expected, I guess I don't need to worry about it. However I would appreciate it if you could track this as a genuine customer issue - maybe it can be fixed in a future revision of the hardware?

For reference here's the full detail of the DTC:

Thanks for all the advice. I could have lived with the DTC if it was just a side-effect, but now I know it's not, I guess I'll need to open it up and check the connectors. I definitely wasn't getting the DTC prior to installing the FIS-Control MMI so if there is a bad connector it has to be with the new equipment.

I have discovered that I'm getting the DTC below on start-up. No other symptoms. I assume that this is just a side-effect of having the FIS-Control unit between the MMI unit and display. Is anyone else seeing these?

Would it be possible to have some basic release notes so that I can decide if I need to use new versions?
I believe that when you add a new ECU you release a new version - in which case I don't need it. However if there are bug fixes then of course I should update. Thanks in advance.

Now that I have done the installation I realised that there are enough cables in there to keep the unit secured, and it is light enough that I doubt that I'll hear any vibration (I hope). Full details here: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/d … st-3290275

A question to those who have already installed in the suggested location below the head unit: What method did you use to secure the FIS-Control unit in place, to stop it moving or vibrating?

Thanks Stefan.

Is there a technical reason why "IDE08946   Compressor magnetic clutch: status" can't be added? I know its binary so of no use for the gauges, however I wanted it because it is a known weak component for this engine so I wanted to be able to monitor it.

Hi Stefan,

My prioritised list is below. On the basis that I can have 3 gauges on the first screen and a list of 10 values on the second, I'd like to have a total of 13 values so that I can access all. So there are 13 high priority values and I'd appreciate having all these at the start. The remainder I have put into medium and low priority in case you get time to add more (but they are in numerical order, not individually prioritised).

Thanks. I came up with a total of 31 values so I'll reduce that as far as I can and post the list.

Sorry, I meant how long a list of possible measurement values to choose from can you accept? My first pass through the list produced 16 values of interest, but there may be more. I see that one of the datasets on your configuration webpage has 20 values to choose from - is that the limit?

Also have you had any customers install the unit into a RHD car yet? If so did they provide any feedback about difficulties - particularly if the bus module is in the same location as LHD cars?

Thanks. Do you have generic software that allows it to have basic functions or do I have to give you a list of my required data before it will work at all?

Hi Stefan,

I noticed that you have withdrawn your previous beta (?) announcement from your website. Does this suggest that the configuration problems that you have faced mean that general availability of the MMI version will not be for some time now?

Stefan, I was planning to just wait for your general product launch on the assumption that you would have full compatibility by then, at least for the A5. Is that not the case and you are going to have to get the above information from every customer? I have a 2015 S5 sportback.

I realise that you will release more details when you are ready, however maybe you can answer a couple of simple questions?
1) Based on your video, the functionality looks simpler than this DIS-based version. Do you plan that the MMI version will end up having similar functionality to the DIS version?
2) Will the dial ranges be configurable so to match the particular car - e.g. the boost gauge maximum on the dial can correspond to the actual boost limit of a tuned car?
