Anyone experienced water damage to MMI system on Q7 (And Q6) from 1 drop of water on console?

 

Nope, but its gotta be a sunroof issue.

 

I do not have a sunroof, so that is not the cause. I am referring to what I have been told by my dealership..is that even 1 drop of water on the MMI controls will cause the system to stop working. These are the same controls that are right next to the cup holders.

 

you got it in 1 ( cup holder ) and a spill more than a leak very common issue with the older cars

 

Not an issue with older car either. Model is 4 month old 2007 q7.

 

This happened on my new Audi A6 - 6 months old. Spilt about a 1/4 teaspoon of OJ on the MMI control panel. Will cost about £750 to repair.

The question has to be - what idiot designs a car with a drinks holder next to an electronic panel and builds in zero protection agaqinst risk of spillage?
