Customize Audi S4 B7 Startup Screen to "S4"

Morning.

Here's the translation:

"My brother has a problem with his S4 B7. We replaced the original RNS-E 192 with a unit ending in 193G. We copied the coding from the original radio, and so far everything seems to be working fine. However, the S4 start screen isn't displaying. It's coded into the radio, but instead, the standard Audi MMI start screen is showing."

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

The two errors listed under address 37 have already been resolved – the necessary adjustments have been made.

Hi there,

Have you tried using a plausible operating number with the encoding?

Hello,

No, I must also admit, to my shame, that I'm not very familiar with that topic. Perhaps you could explain it to me in more detail?

Best regards,
Dave

Hi,

You took WSC 00001 001 00001.
I would have probably used the waste spark coil from the engine control unit instead.

Good morning.

Thank you both very much. I will test it during the day and write some feedback about it.

Certainly! Here's the translation:

"Thank you very much."

David.

Quite an unusual odometer reading. Tampered with? If so, who knows what has been altered.

Please post the `coding.log` file so that we can see what code was generated.

Best regards, Rainer.

"8P0035193G is for the A3 / A3 Sportback models, and it simply won't have the S4 logo on it."

Best regards, Rainer.

Okay, that was modified using parts from an Audi A4. The radio is completely reprogrammed for an A4. Shouldn't it still work even if the system says: "I am an A3 component"?

Is there no way to do that?

...why should it? I guess things won't progress much further here.

And what are you basing that on?! Sorry, maybe I'm mistaken, but the components are always the same regardless of whether it's an A3, A4, TT, etc. You can even code a Lamborghini startup screen into an Audi (just an example), so why wouldn't it be possible to have an S4 startup screen in an S4? The radio is already coded for an A4.

The hardware might be the same or very similar, but the software on the device will not be identical.

Reprogramming an RNS-E for an A4 to function as if it were in an S4 will definitely be a much more promising endeavor.

Well, it's not impossible. A friend of mine from Berlin did the conversion on his RS4 and it worked. He also installed a 193G ECU from an A3. However, it seems that it works for some people but not for others.

What do part numbers even mean for electronic components?

Same part number, but with different software installed, and it's something completely different.
A good example is the RCD510 – the part number is the same, but one version has white buttons on the touchscreen while the other has black ones.
And now try to change it... but you can't.

So, keep up the good work with your constant complaining, even though you can't seem to achieve anything.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Visit contacts in Berlin. He seems to have the right skills to obtain missing data... If nothing more useful comes up, I suggest we proceed with this option here.
