Here is the picture of MMI. Obviously, scratch doesnt show up at night time or when NAV is on during the day.

 

Maybe you could put a screen protector over it. Some screen protectors for your pocket pc/smartphone will hide scratches and small marks. Who knows if they make any for your device but something to consider. Anti-reflective protectors tend to hide the scratches, ones called crystal clear or whatever don't.

Holy smoke, that is a completley different situation than the one I was envisioning. That would certainly drive me crazy. It looks like someone played hopscoth or tic tac toe on the unit. It is certainly not a "car wash" or software issue. I am no expert, but I would be afraid that you would have to install a whole new MMI monitor. I am so particluar about my carthat I would pay the dealer the $1,500 toreplace the unit just so I would not have to look at that everytimeI got into the car. In addition, do not beat yourself for missing the scratches on thetest drive, even at $1,500to replace the monitor you still only paid $30,200 for a car that Edmunds valued at $34,800. Look at it this way, you still have $4,000 left in the "good deal account" to spend on mods. Take a look at Mad Audi's website and I am sure you will find a way to spend the remaining $4,000.

 

I am totally with you Kevin (dont feel like driving it bcuz of that...usually take the car out at night when I cant see it )but that is my backup plan.

I am talking to Audi customer care and also, sales guy said that he'll try talk to CPO manager and see if he can get it replaced. Dont you they should have looked at during certification. I bought mercedes, bmw and lexus certified cars in the past and if I have any issues like this the day after or one week then they take care of it.

I'll fight for it

 

Couple hundred and they are replacing the MMI display [sm=happybounce.gif]

Saved $$$$

Operations manager was very helpful and worked out the deal with me after some discussion and negotiation.

 

I think for your car,if your scratch is very deep, I suggest you replacement a new display, now its price is ok.And before you install the display,suggest you to screen protector over it.That will usefully for the new one.

We replacement this MMI Display for many times, sometimes is the display dead. The partnumber of the display is LQ070T5DR02 Sharp 7'' TFT.See the picture in following.



By the way, this display is same as in the Q7,A6,A8,A5,A4, the MMI Display.

 

Hi davidlin. Have a good 2011. I have a question for you: have you any suggestion for unmounting MMI display on Audi A8 4E 2004? I have a couple of problems with the opening/closing gears of the display.

Thanks in advance.

I know this problem. It is the gear problem . It can't open /close well . You just remove it and replacement the gear is ok. This is easy , I think .

 

Yes, it is. My request was if you are able to share some pictures or, however, the instructions for removing the display.
Regards, Roberto

 

I had this problem on my 2009 A4 Cab. After some research, I learned that the scratches are in a coating on the screen. Several sites recommended using an eraser to remove the coating. I did this (using a white block eraser) and it worked perfectly. My screen looks like new!! Just rubbec the eraser with multiple passes vertically and horizontally and then cleaned with a lense cleaner (but any glass cleaner would work).

The coating is meant to protect from scratches, but it will scratch very easily itself. The Nav system screen is fine without the coating as long as you keep sharp objects(and pets) away from the screen.
