Audi RMC: Coding, Adaptation, Datasets

  • Figuring out how Audi RMC system is configurable by testing coding, adaptation, datasets, and BAP.
  • This type of infotainment unit is poorly documented. I hope this is about to be changed.
  • My research is based on a 2012 Audi Q3 equipped with Audi RMC2 non-navigation unit and some parameterization files that I got from community and found over the internet.

Audi RMC with Driving School Mode option

How to tell which RMC system I have?

  • There are different versions of the RMC system, nav and non-nav, with 6.5" and 7" displays, pre-facelift and facelift.
  • Distinguish RMC from MMI: enter Red Engineering Menu and check what's your SW Train. Audi RMC system firmware starts with rmc, MMI starts with bbt, bnav, hnav. Check this: https://youtu.be/R2mUmxFPWBQ
  • RMC2 and RMC4 RMC and MMI units are using different dataset addresses.
  • part # 4G0/8X0 = H5x = RMC2; part # 4G1/8X1 = H6x = RMC4.
  • There's also H4x option available. Not sure what it exactly is. Maybe old RMC (RMC1)?
  • RMC is usually available at address 0x5F - infotainment. But in some cases at 0x56 - radio.

RMC2 and RMC4 coding

My findings

...both confirmed and anticipated.

  • Byte 00
    • bit 0 - Coding confirmation (1=coded)
  • Byte 01
    • bit 0 - Steering Wheel (0=LHD; 1=RHD)
  • Byte 02
    • bits 0-3 - Car Body (0000=sedan; 0001=avant; 0100=sportback, 0101=allroad; 0110=SUV)
  • Byte 03
    • bits 0-1 - Boot screen (00=default; 01=S-Line; 10=S; 11=RS)
  • Byte 04
    • bits 0-1 - Car Model (00=A1; 01=A6/A7; 10=Q3)
  • Byte 05
    • bit 0 - Air Condition (1=installed)
    • bit 6 - Tire Pressure Monitoring System (1=installed)
    • bit 7 - Ambient Illumination (1=installed)
  • Byte 06
    • bit 1 - Parking Sensors (1=installed)
    • bit 2 - Rear View Camera (1=installed)
    • bit 3 - Rain Sensor (1=installed)
    • bit 4 - Central Lock (1=installed)
    • bit 5 - Rear Blind (1=installed)

  • Byte 07
    • bit 6 - Comfort Seats (1=installed)
  • Byte 08
    • bit 0 - Lane Assist (1=installed)
    • bit 1 - Side Assist (1=installed)
    • bit 3 - Pause Recommendation (1=enabled)
  • Byte 09
    • bit 4 - Tow bar (1=installed)
  • Byte 12
    • bits 0-1 - Radio Antenna (01=A6/A7 specific; 02=with Sirius; 03=A1/Q3 specific)
  • Byte 14
    • bit 0 - Sound System (0=Internal; 1=External)

To investigate

  • Byte 05:bit 5 OR Byte 07:bit 5 Something A6 Allroad related (Air Suspension? OR Tilt Display?)
  • Byte 08
    • bit 6 - Reverse Seatbelt Tensioner (RGS)? (1=installed)
  • Byte 10
    • bit 1 - APS/RVC (1=installed)
    • bit 2 - ??? (0=A1/Q3; 1=A6/A7)
  • Byte 11
    • bit 0 - Mic drivers side? (1=installed)
    • bit 1 - Mic passengers side? (1=installed)
  • Byte 16
    • bit 0 - Looks like GPS related (100% accuracy in A1/Q3, not so good match in A6/A7)

RMC2 and RMC4 Adaptation

...both confirmed and anticipated.

  • 005 - developer mode (0=off; 1=on)
  • 009 - bluetooth (0=off; 1=on)
  • 023 - display test pattern (0=off; 1=on)
  • 034 - Door speaker channel test
  • 035 - Voice Command test
  • 058 - Speakers test (0=off; 1=on)

RMC Live Data Channels

Channel Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4
016 CD drive temp. ??? Cooling fan RPM N/A
019 Up time ??? ??? ???

BAP

  • Features available via RMC/MMI interface that are implemented in other modules. Information about those features and some of the settings are send to RMC/MMI via BAP protocol.
  • Example: coding for daytime running lights switch is done in module 0x09 but the switch will appear in RMC/MMI menu (which is separate module).

GEM - Green Engineering Menu

Usage

  • Requires developer mode to be enabled first (check adaptation above).
  • Enter GEM with key combination: [CAR] + [MENU]
  • Demo: https://youtu.be/jGcJXQZLzEc

Custom GEM screens

coming soon...

REM - Red Engineering Menu

System reboot

Display screenshot

  • Make sure there's an SD card inserted and it's not write protected.
  • Press and hold buttons [<] and [>].
  • Wait for LED confirmation on the control panel.
  • Demo: https://youtu.be/ASmqbM54rZk
