The basic design of the control unit for power
management is the same as the control unit used in
the Audi A8 ‘03.
It is installed in the boot well, next to the battery.
This control unit has been adapted for use in the
Audi A6 ’05 in that it now has revised software,
which shows the battery condition rather than the
battery charge level in the MMI display.
Furthermore, the diagnosis tester can be used to
read out history data, i.e. data relating to the
condition of the on-board power supply in the past.

Reference
The basic functions of the control unit for power
management J644 are described in the SSP 287.
Battery condition
The battery condition indicates how efficient the
battery is. The efficiency is determined from the
battery charge level and the ability to start.
Advantages of the battery condition:
– The cut-off stages can be allocated directly to the
battery condition.
– The messages in the central display of dash
panel insert J285 always appear for the same
battery condition reading.
– A 100 % display indicates that no cut-off stage
will be set the next time the engine is switched
off.

Vehicl e ke y
The key has a mechanically coded hinged bit for the
lock cylinder in the driver’s door and the tailgate/
boot lid. The transponder function is integrated into
the electronics and also works without a battery.
An integrated battery powers the electronics for the
radio remote control and Advanced Key functions.
A new feature here is the bi-directional data
exchange between the radio-control key and the
control unit for access and start authorisation via
the antenna for central locking and anti-theft
warning system R47. This is used to transfer the
status of the central locking system into the key.
If a button outside of the function range of the key
is pressed, the LED integrated in the key shows the
lock status of the vehicle. The lock status displayed
is always the status, which was achieved using this
key when central locking was last actuated.
If the vehicle is opened or locked in the interim
period using a second key, this does not change the
lock status in the first key.
Furthermore, the radio frequency is changed from
433 MHz to 868 MHz for the first time in many
countries. This radio frequency is ideal for data
communication between vehicle keys and the
control unit.
Since this frequency can only be used for very short
transmission pulses, any interference from
long-term radio transmitters, such as baby phones,
wireless headsets, etc. is eliminated.
