Not sure if you have the same problem I have with my 2007 Q7 BUT....
 
  I had my MMI system replaced because a coffee cup in my cupholder between the driver and passenger seat spilled onto MMI control buttons. Now 7 months later my son spilled a bottle of water and the next day the MMI stopped working. I bought the car into my AUDI dealer who are excellent BUT they claim AUDI HQ will not covered because it was an EXTERNAL influence... So they will not replace the MMI ... I have to pay $1000+ to fix it !!!!
 
This is RIDICULOUS!!! Who is the GENIUS engineer who designs the MMI system which sits below a CUPHOLDER and yet it a liquid is spilled on it ...IT SHORTS OUT .... OH and it is the CUSTOMERS error not the AUDI engineers...
 
I love my Q7 but they screwed up with this one design feature and they should just admit it and fix it and stop blaming the customers !!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
If they do not resolve this I wil NEVER buy another AUDI again !!!!!!!!!!

Hello
 
I have my Q7 since November last year and I didn't have any problems at all. My previous car was Volvo XC90, nothing but problems. After 2 months it broke down on me and after that every two weeks was some different problem, we had to sell and then I got my Audi.
I would not change for nothing.

Thank you, I saw my new Q7 today, but don't get it until Tuesday as I have opted for DVD's in the back as a way to stop my son and daughter from beating on each other! Funny you say Volvo, my husband is a Swede and I'm a German and well....let's just say I converted him over to the German car way of thinking 9 years ago and he's never looked back. He does not miss his old Volvo either.

The exact same "coffee" thing happened with my Q7! In fact the dealer charged me $ 200 to attempt to clean the MMI system we some type of solvent and then said that if that did not do the trick that it would cost about $ 1000 to replace. I am able to use the system intermittently but for some reason only when stationary. I am debating whether to bother replacing the system because it could easily happen again........
 
I agree its a flawed design! I also have an A8 and thankfully the spillage hasn't happened on this vehicle yet. ( although it is less susceptible).
 
Let me know how you make out with your dealer discussions and I will likewise.

Wow! I just got my Q7 yesterday, I traded a much loved VW Touareg for it. I constantly bumped my coffee in the Touareg but it only managed to splash the gearshift and the seat, the computer was dash mounted. When I looked at the placement of the cup holder I did think to myself that I was sure to bump it, that totally freaks me out. Do the cup holders in the door pockets work very well? I must say I love my Q7 and although it is a bit to figure out the MMI, I think it is a great system.

The cup holders in the door pockets work well for bottled water. The bottles will stay at an inclined position though, so make sure the screw cap is on tight. Enjoy your Q7, it is a great vehicle. The MMI placement is my only complaint....

I love my Q7 too BUT AUDI messed up and they need to admit it and not make $1000+ per MMI failure due to spilled coffee from a cupholder which is ABOVE the eectronics for the MMI !!!
 
They made a stupid design error and should agree to fix it and not penalize the customer !!!!
 
I plan to write a letter to AUDI USA PRESIDENT so you may want to do the same
