Product Description

Red Engineering Menu Activation for Audi MMI MHI3 & MPR3

Restore access to the Red Engineering Menu on compatible Audi MHI3 and MPR3 infotainment systems through a remote activation session.

What does this service do?

On some vehicles, access to the Red Engineering Menu is restricted after updating the MMI from software version 4014 to a 43xx or later version. This service activates menu access on a compatible unit without changing the vehicle’s infotainment hardware.

The activation is provided as a lifetime licence for the supported unit. It is designed to remain available after compatible future firmware updates; if an update changes this behaviour, contact us for an assessment.

Compatibility

All regions are supported, provided your installed MMI software version begins with MHI3 or MPR3 and the unit is compatible with this procedure. You can find the version under Settings → General → Version Information. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the version information before ordering.

Requirements

  • ENET OBD-to-Ethernet diagnostic cable
  • Computer or laptop with AnyDesk installed
  • Stable internet connection with at least 50 Mbps upload speed

The remote procedure normally takes approximately 40 minutes, depending on the vehicle and connection conditions. After placing your order, contact us to schedule your installation session.

Before ordering: Confirm that your unit is MHI3 or MPR3. This service enables access to the engineering menu; it does not include a firmware update or activation of unrelated MMI functions.
