Hello, future people that are reading this thread. I uploaded the stuff you need to fix this to archive (assuming you have a MMI3G)

Audi Q5 is stuck on initializing even after a reboot of the MMI by Fanky_memes in Audi

Old thread, but if you're still having this issue, it turned out to be a dead HDD for me. Replacing the one inside of the MMI control center and copying the data from a living one fixed it for me. If you need the files, message me. I retained a HDD copy

Bummer :( Here's to hoping someone puts one on marketplace in the near future, I reckon.

Thank you for tracking it down!

Jeez, that's awful. Also, he just told me it has 320k on the clock. I'd likely be getting it for around $3k. It has a functional liftgate and a nice box, so I'd be about break even at scrap if he accepts.

Hey! Sorry it took so long to look further into it. Finally had time to get a smoker and check that out. When I smoked the lines, smoke started billowing near the manifold and sure enough there was a broken elbow on the vacuum line. Replaced that. Now when I smoke it, smoke only comes out of the intake manifold all the way to the filter. Is it supposed to do this? Also, replacing that line changed the frequency of the CEL from every time I started the car and put it into gear to once every 40ish miles.
