Is there way to update maps?

[got_boost]

Sent you a DM my-s5.

I would like to think that maybe they would have caught it but things can/do happen. All I can say is I hope they get back in touch and help to make things right for you unless those steps work out for you.

Got your DMs. Appreciate all the help fellas. I’ll report back on my efforts.

Well, you guys get the golden cookie. That worked. Nowhere in any instructions afaik had I ever seen to put it on the 'data is blocked' screen and then insert the card. But that seems to have done it. First screen that displayed said to rotate the mmi knob, and the second I did that it flashed a screen that said reboot and it then 'watermarked' the map screen behind any MMI screen I changed to (car, radio, etc). At that point, rebooted the MMI and it all looked good once it was back up. Put it on the map screen and drove around for 30 minutes, it never switched back to 'data is blocked'. Here's hoping that did it.

Thanks a million!

So fwiw, UpgradeMyAudi.net does offer a functioning product, but whether this is a US based car thing, or their instructions are off, or I'm a doofus, or whatever...the support isn't all that great, at least in my experience.

[got_boost]

no problem, we all have our moments lol. I'm glad I still had that info in the archive so I could help.

[Alabama]

Good deal. I'm usually the one who gets in trouble if there is any ambiguity in the instructions. Apparently there are significant software differences for Audi vehicles sold in different markets. Too bad there apparently is no thread that polls the people who actually create this stuff (e.g., Audi/Bosch/Bose etc. engineers).

I have Audi Q5 2016 2.0 model(North America, (WA USA)). I would like to update my MMI software and maps. Could you please help how to update and Cost?. I don’t have Audi connect at this time.

Here the software version.
HN+_US_AU3G_PO925
8r0060884DG NAR 6.13.2

a few of us used the same person on ebay, his link is in post 471, or as my-s5 did and go thru upgrademyaudi. its up to you, for me it was $120 to update going thru ebay but I had to wait for the SD cards to arrive. Im guessing that upgrademyaudi allows you to DL directly? so as long as you have the SD cards to use,thats the quickest route but more money. I know the ebay directions are pretty complete,more info than you really need to know but that's a good thing. I cant speak about the directions coming from the other site because I never seen them. so there is 2 options to pick from, i'm sure there are more places to pick from if you wanted to look around or if someone else throws in their .02

Is there any way that someone on the forum can share this information out? The directions and maps from the SD cards.

[Audis333]

Will you be able to share the SD card once you are done.I can pay for it.

[my-s5]

The upgrademyaudi route is definitely the quickest for instant gratification especially if you are focused to get it done :-)

My problem was lack of focus (didn’t need nav cuz we are all locked in our homes right now) and that it seems maybe US vs EU cars behave a touch differently in some cases. But the upgrademyaudi instructions are/were super clear up until the Map activation part. And in that regard they are clear, just didn’t work for my car and had to use the method got_boost and Alabama mentioned above.

Upgrademyaudi also has it well documented on the site how to figure out which mmi/nav system you have to get you to the correct upgrade product.

I paid $160 for the download. Then just a little effort to create SD cards. I used the same SD card for all 3 steps. Firmware then maps then activation.

Haven’t looked at the EBay listing that got_boost posted above, that could be a cheaper route. Dunno.

[dbsterben]

Does Julian have updates for the MHI2 systems?

[Audis333]

I Audi 2016 Q5 with latest firmware. Need to update maps . Please let me know if you can share latest maps. I have limited data plan Audi Connect so want to update manually,.

The Q5 uses a different software part # than the A6 so I wouldn't flash it and expect it to work at all. Best bet is to just order the right version,if you order it from eBay it would be all on SD cards ready to go,no need for Audi connect.

[Audi_Lover]

I’m really sorry - I can’t figure out how to PM, but I have the original firmware from my 2013 A6 with mmi 3g+. I am looking to upgrade the firmware and maps and you seem to be helpful with this. I am sorry for my poor English as well. Is there a way to please help me with the files so I can update.

Thank you for reading.

The site from which I ordered my updates appears to have sold out all his parts supply. Maybe try the site noted in post #493.

[Audis333]

I have Audi Q5 2016. Is there a way we can open a HIDDEN MENU(GREEN). I tired Press and hold together button: MENU & CAR). I just want to update the MAPS. Firmware is up to date.

[got_boost]

I'd imagine it would be the same as the A6, you don't go thru the green screen. you need to get to the red screen, aka engineering screen, to do updates.

[dmvinnyfl]

Hey guys I am quite new to this, I want to update my maps and my firmware, I just purchased a 2014 Audi A6, with 3GP. My current firmware and map is:

HN+R_US_AU_P0715

8R0060884BD NAR 6.8.2


I have the K0942_3 file, and the new map 6.19.1 (Database: NAR_Hi_R_6.19.1)

So just to be clear my instructions are as follows:

1. Green Screen, and turn on user defined mode (to turn off bose update on firmware)
2. Insert USB/SDCard and update Firmware (using engineering menu)
3. Reboot
4. Insert USB/SDCard with Maps
5. Install Maps
6. Run Activator
7. Use FSC if error code.

Done?

[Audis333]

I have Audi Q5 2016. Recently I have updated maps by myself and firmware by Audi dealer. It works great til now.

I’m able to send the addresses from myAudi app to car. After I went to car start navigating using the address which I sent but address is not recognized Audi gps everything comes in one line . I mean all the address. Any idea how to fix

No, the instruction asks not to upgrade the Bose system as it has issue. I don't know what issue it is but it asks if I see Bose upgrade option is checked, I have to stop the upgrade. The Bose system/option is the same as before

BTW, I have C7.

Why do we all keep paying these people just for a download link?? Can someone not just share the file with the community?

Funny you should ask, I shared it with lot of people...Its just that people just don't look in between. I saw jcoleman just shared. However, after the comments reach one more page, it becomes invisible again. Someone has to pin those in the first page

Well then i think it's time to make a new thread with the link in the very first post. I'm on it!

[got_boost]

I could upload my files to google drive and give a link but I'm currently on vac away from home. I'll be back on Monday if all goes well. If nobody else steps up before then, I'll find my cards and get them up on the webz.

If a new post is made, add a link here so I can hop over and give the link to the files.

I wish I was smart enough with this Tech to do the updates...

[rscottc]

Anyone happen to have this for a B9 A4? [:D]

EDIT: Just realized it's buried in the folders of that MEGA link. Thanks, all!

[rscottc]

Okay, I just read this entire thread, and it seems like all links to the installation instructions are now dead or removed. Does anybody have those? I filled in the gaps mostly based on context, but there's still a LOT of discussion that requires you to read these instructions to understand what everyone is talking about.

Also, similar to my last post in the thread, I have a b9 A4 -- I know this is a C7 thread, but would anybody happen to know if the directions would be massively different for that car/system? Want to try slapping the A4 updates from that MEGA link in an SD card and just see if I can get anywhere with them, but a guide would be helpful, even if it's for a C7.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!I've been in contact with these folks about updating firmware/maps/etc. They stated they can do it via remotely and can send a SD card if needed for my US based RS7 and currently working on a file for it. They're in UK.207800

I can vouch, sima-koya updated my MIB2 FW and maps, all works perfectly.

Yeah but you need a special dongle and a PC.
I have neither....
Why can't we just buy an SD cars with the update already on it and just plug it in and go?
Upgrademyaudi in the UK is unreachable, and says there's nothing for the US market C7.5

I'm not sure about buying from eBay. Don't wanna brick the system.

This file is not the maps. I’ve never managed to find a maps file online for free. This is just the firmware.
What the version you have? Not just the last few digits, but the entire thing?
It’s the whole beginning part of the firmware version that need to match. This indicates MMI version and region.

What does the updated firmware help with? Other than saving some coin in not needing to purchase / download from Upgrademyaudi.net

[core5]

The later map databases require newer firmware. It's easiest just to update firmware then update maps to avoid issues.

Okay, sweet. That file is in a zip file, do I unzip it then load to an SD card or just toss the whole zip file on the SD card and start the upgrade process in the MMI?

[09S5]

Any luck with that?
