solved
On the RHS of your steering wheel you have the stick with the different washer settigns on it.
on the under side of that stick there is a button - 'reset'
this flicks between the digital speedometer and the on board computer 1 and 2.
If you don't have the digital speedometer up on your dash then all you have to do is press this 'reset' buttong either once (if on computer 2 settings) or twice (if your on computer 1 settings).
I figured it out yesterday and solved all my problems.
and i mean a tap press not hold it in for longer than 1 second press. that will do a hard reset!

HI,
I believe that what you want to do is possible - I have added an aftermarket GPS nav box to my Q5, and all of the components of the A5's "infotainment" system are identical (as are recent A4s), including the screen and wiring.
The system that I have used needed a little customising, but essentially it provides the OEM LCD screen with touch-screen functionality, and inserts the GPS display into the signal line that feeds to the screen when you select it. It also has inputs for a DVD player, and a reversing camera...
I have PM'ed the OP with more details, if anyone wants to know more then feel free to drop me a PM.
cheers,
..Neil

I recently purchased an A3 without navigation and having the navigation button there just saying "not installed" is worse than not having it at all. I should have known I wasn't the only one wondering about this.
Could you PM me too please?
Thank you!
