My 06 A8 has a control panel that is all gunked up. The dealer says the MMI is getting a bunch of signals at the same time from the buttons because they are stuck and thats why its malfunctioning. The dealer told me I should replace the control panel for $760, the control panel by itself is $600. I asked if they could just clean it out and unstick the buttons he says they could spend hours doing that with no guarantee that it would work. Anybody have thoughts on other options I might have??? Pls respond as soon as you can.

 

clean it yourself and save all the money...

if you pay a tech to do it... they could run you up and still say you need to buy a new one
