Technical Background The phone module is not initialized and therefore is not recognized in the infotainment control module. Production Solution Not applicable. Service Before starting the repair: Note: This procedure is only applicable to vehicles that require a customer SIM card. It does not apply to vehicles with eSIM. Check the SIM card reader with a flashlight and magnifying glass or photo for broken or damaged pins. If the card reader is damaged, replace the main unit. Remove the fuse for the information electronics control module for at least 30 minutes. If the fault is still permanently present, continue with the TSB. Otherwise, the issue has been resolved. Review the Required Parts and Tools section of this bulletin. Obtain the telephone module retrofit kit listed in the Required Parts and Tools section of this bulletin (if required). Obtain the software matching the customer’s vehicle according to the Required Parts and Tools section of this bulletin. Replace the phone module: Note: Verify that the VAS6613 ESD work surface contains three grounding straps. The repair cannot be completed without all three grounding straps and the ESD mat. Note: This exchange of the telephone module should only be performed in a clean environment due to sensitive electronics. The repair should not be performed in a workshop environment.

Remove the MIB main unit from the vehicle according to the instructions in Elsa at Repair Manual, Electrical System >> Communication >> 91 Communication >> Infotainment System >> Information Electronics Control Module 1 J794, Removing and Installing. 2. Prepare the ESD work surface by cleaning the work area of all loose debris and then drying the area with a towel. Doing so ensures that no debris will be rolled into the mat when it is rolled up after use, which could cause long-term damage to the ESD work surface. 3. Place the ESD anti-static mat onto the surface. Ensure that all three grounding straps are securely strapped to the ESD mat. 4. Ground the ESD mat by plugging the 110V grounding strap into a wall socket or power strip (Figure 2). If a power strip is used, it must be plugged into a grounded wall outlet (see attached user instructions for VAS6613 titled “VAS6613 ESD Workspace Guide.pdf”). Figure 2. VAS6613 ESD work surface grounding plug. Page 3 of 11 © 2021 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ground yourself by placing the elastic strap around your wrist. Make sure it is securely touching your skin. It cannot be loose-fitting or over your shirt cuff (Figure 3). Figure 3. VAS6613 ESD work surface grounding wrist strap. 6. Ground the MIB main unit by placing an alligator clip on the back, ensuring that it makes contact with the metal housing of the main unit. The most secure location is at the bottom of the metal bracket (Figure 4). Figure 4. VAS6613 ESD work surface grounding device clip. Warning: Your wrist, the ESD mat, and the main unit must remain grounded during the entire process. 7. Start by touching the screw driver to the ESD mat to discharge any static that may be built up in the tool. Page 4 of 11 © 2021 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Break the white warranty seal on the back of the main unit (Figure 5). Figure 5. Break the white warranty seal. 9. On the top of the main unit, remove the two retaining screws that hold the telephone module in place (Figure 6). Figure 6. Telephone module retaining screws indicated by the red arrow.

Carefully lift up the telephone module, using both ends as points of contact when pulling up. Use a flathead screwdriver to lift the forward flange (Figure 7). The module is held in place with a computer socket-type attachment and will release when enough force is used. Figure 7. Lift up on both ends of the telephone module. 11. Place the new telephone module into the socket, making sure it is level before snapping it into place. Use both ends of the telephone module when pressing it into place. Do not press down using the purple FAKRA connector (Figure 9). Figure 8. Do not press down using the purple FAKRA connector. 12. Re-secure the telephone module retaining screws into the top of the MIB main unit. Page 6 of 11 © 2021 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Place the new warranty seal from the retrofit kit over the original warranty seal (Figure 9). Figure 9. Place the new warranty seal over the location indicated by the yellow arrow. 14. Reinstall the MIB main unit in the vehicle and proceed to Software updates. Software updates (required for all repairs): 1. Turn the vehicle ignition on. When the system is fully initialized, perform TSB 2047576: 91 MIB2 Software Update Instructions to update the ZUG software using the required software update SD card and software code listed in the Required Parts and Tools section of this bulletin. Tip: Ensure that the SVM portion of the update is completed successfully without errors. If any issues arise with SVM, then contact TAC. 2. Turn the vehicle ignition on and allow the MIB main unit to fully initialize. It may take up to three minutes for the main unit to fully initialize due to the hardware replacement. All options will be white in the Telephone menu of the MIB when the system has fully initialized. 3. Perform a quick verification test to ensure that all functions of the MMI are operating correctly: Place the customer’s SIM card into the SIM card slot (if applicable). Ensure that LTE reception is obtained. Check that Bluetooth pairing is working. Check AM/FM/SAT radio operation outside the shop. Check that Navigation is receiving more four or more satellites (Navigation >> Route then scroll up to top, then Select and scroll up to top again to obtain the number of satellites being received).
