    you'll need a VAGCOM cable... Then do this:

    Use 3G MMI instructions:

    It was easy...a matter of setting the speed allowed for viewing.
    I tested it after I did it, but haven't used it since.

    You could try Carista for a bunch of other useful ideas and it's not as expensive as the Rosstech cable. I don't think Carista does the video in motion though. Heres a thread on Carista in the B8S4 section. Local support on here too for it.

    ...whereas the RossTech is a lot more powerful and can do stuff we don't even understand yet. Take it from someone that bought one. You'll use it once, and then help out your Audi buds. If you have some, see if one of them has it, or go in together on one. It's worth it.

    I agree the RossTech is much more powerful. I have one and it has come in very handy for myself and others. The OP doesn't sound like it's for him though, that's why I suggested Carista for some cheap easy fun.

    OP if you look in your region on here there might be someone close to you that will help you out with a cable.

    How do you know if your 2g or 3G, what does that mean? And it doesn't say anything about cords or anything like that does it ?

    You are 3g with a 15. You need to buy the Ross tech cable and download the free software and connect it to your ride to make changes.

    You can play both DVD movies and movies loaded on an SD card (IF the movie format on the SD card is correct and frame size is 720x544 or less if I recall)

    I'm assuming that the dvd would play through the cd player. Just wasn't sure if it was Blu-ray capable

    VCDS Cable from Ross-Tech will be the only answer.

    Not only RossTech. It can be done with ODIS and VAS5054 or old version VAS PC or VAG CAN PRO or AVDI

    Anyone with VAGCOM in central Texas?

    I'm traveling tomorrow from Austin to Arlington, would love to have the video in motion turned on for long trips.

    Hit me up

    Thank you

    When I was researching buying the Q5 I ran across this site. It's a way to activate the video function without buying the Ross-Tech gear. I do not have this personally however I did read that it worked. If anyone else has more information that would be good. http://www.emmanueledesign.com/colle...k-dvd-playback
