myAudi map updates?

[Audisthesia]

Did audi usa pull the downlaodable map updates from myaudi(and yes I'm aware you get first 5 free and its paid after that)? I can no longer find them them on their site in the USA.

Found my answer, audi usa removed the downloadable section to use the sdcard update method. So you can either pay obscene cost for audi connect and let your car run for god knows how long to get the update OTA or you have to call them... And not sure what calling them will do.

Audi owners of certain 2017 models and all 2018 or newer model vehicles should attempt to update their maps OTA (Over the Air) within the vehicle. Those owners without in-vehicle OTA capabilities should contact the Audi Customer Experience Center at 1-800-822-2834 (800-822-AUDI).

My MY2016 had an OTA map update a few weeks ago. I had never seen it before and successfully updated. I bought the car used and could never understand how map updates worked and didn't want to pay big money for something so trivial.

I say every 5 or so years is a good update time if you have to pay. things don't change that often

The only subscription service that I have enabled is a freedompop 1GB data plan. They don't charge a monthly fee for the 1GB and I'd suggest trying them out. There was nothing that I did to trigger the map update either, it just showed up one day. I've had the car for ~9 months and had been wanting to update the maps but never knew how.

Any idea what are current software and nav database version numbers? Thirty minute announced hold time at Customer Experience Center is not for me! I have 2014 S6 so can't do OTA anyway.

You don't have to go through Audi to enable anything?

Thinking along the lines, can I just take out a simcard from my phone and insert it into audi card slot in order to update?

Thanks.

Yeah that's been known for sometime. Newer vehicles are using HERE, because the German auto makers are part owners and also because Google deprecated the Google Earth API. Sadly, Audi doesn't care about older car owners and has no plans to provide an update pathway.

My understanding is that the map databases themselves will continue to work, only the Google Earth picture overlay will stop. Hopefully map database updates will continue; less sure about firmware. Anyone know differently?

Your navi maps will of course work, those have nothing to do with Google Earth in the DIS

[peytonel]

The whole Google Earth support drop for older vehicles is unfortunate but understandable. However, I was pleased to be provided a free TMobile 3g data plan for as long as I own the vehicle for my trouble (since I've purchased three vehicles in the past 8 years and have had Audi connect the whole time and for a good bit two vehicles at the same time). I'm fine with that.

On a different AZ thread people wrote that T-Mobile will be dropping 3G soon as they convert to 5G. Also that the Google change is because for older cars Audi licensed an operating system from Blackberry but now changed to Linux, and Google will stop supporting the Blackberry OS. I don't know if this is accurate; I do know I still drive through rural areas where I get 0G (and I don't mean going airborne over the crest of a hill)! Apparently no plug-and-play hardware upgrade path either.

Well, the file system on the 4G MMI is unix based QNX... So not so sure about that blackberry theory. As I mentioned above, Google retired the Google Earth API, which is what the C7/7.5 cars were using for the Google Earth overlay. Im sure its possible to somehow come up with a fix, but Audi isnt going to invest the resources to do that for cars they've already sold.

[GilliamOS]

The MMI uses the QNX operating system, a proprietary OS.

So, with no PC, and no SIM card, what options are there to fully update a 2016?

What I mean is that I use Apple, and I don't have a SIM card for the car..
Also, dealer said it's impossible for them to update the software, they can only do maps, and that at $400 it's not even worth it, better off using your iPhone....if I had CarPlay, which they won't enable

It does seem that way, but he's their head guy and flat out told me it's impossible. They cannot update the mmi software. Which is ludicrous, I agree.
I'll be calling Audi this week, because i didn't buy a car with nav for it to be borderline useless.

Well, there may not be an MMI update for your vehicle... Maybe that's why he said that. But if you poke around on the forums you'll find plenty of people who had MMI updated at the dealer, and in fact, there are TSB that tell dealers to update the MMI. Bear in mind MMI and NAV version are 2 separate things. Audi makes map updates every 6 months... MMI isnt updated unless its to fix a problem or such...

Here is proof the dealer can update MMI with ODIS (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10155669-9999.pdf) So I'd say their head guy is flat-out ignorant. You may want to find someone else to deal with.

[pantsoftime]

My 2018 S6 had a pop-up on the screen a couple of weeks ago about a map update and something about the dealer needing to be involved. I haven't been able to get it to reappear and it shows no available updates over OTA.

In the past it would update my local region over OTA and then I can download the rest of the country on SD card.

I went to the website to get the maps like I always do and ran into the same message as above. The car is only 2 years old and they're playing these games, ridiculous.

Not the end of the world, there are 3rd party sites (https://upgrademyaudi.net/product-category/audi-maps-updates/usa-maps/)that people use to update their MMI 3G/3g+... The arent doing 4G yet that Ive seen... But I assume they will as the 4G MMI starts falling off the free updates...

The other thread has at least some credibility as QNX is owned by Research In Motion (Blackberry). I'm less sure then what Audi is changing to.

I can vouch that updates are possible on a 2014 S6. A dealership claimed to have done that for me but had not. Eventually using info from elsewhere on AZ and purchasing OEM SD cards, I was able to update both the firmware and nav database, then activate the whole thing myself for under $150. Scary that I could accomplish something beyond the capability of a dealership as I barely have enough coordination to check tire pressures! Search for thread "Is there way to update maps?".

I have the same year S6 and I hear ya......I did download the update file and successfully did so on a usb thumb drive. But my car did not recognize the thumb drive. I was going to download the same file and the link was no longer there. This was just about a month after my first download. So I think I have the file on my thumb drive, but don't know how to load it.

So they started the free update clock when the car was made, not the in service date which was 6 months later. What a crock of shit!

[mrpen1210]

I dropped off my 2017 S6 today to replace the paddle shifters and I also asked how much to update the map and the guy who been working on my car quoted me $500 to order the CD to update it. I was like “why is it so god **** expensive?” And the guy said he doesn’t even know.

I love it! Corporate idiots. Actually, I can understand why Germany would start their clock when the car rolls off the assembly line. For you folk who buy new, I would expect an honorable dealer who has had the car sitting on the lot for six months to make good on the foregone map update or else clarify the sales literature as to when the clock starts. My gripe is that the CPO process of bringing the car "back to spec" before resale does not include updating various software. Oh, well, I'm sure this is not unique to VW/Audi.

[Spitfire007]

Got a quote from Audi dealer today to update my maps from 2016 to current. He said it was around 7-800.
Suggested I use Waze and just listen to the instructions via Bluetooth.
Car started occasionally playing a song from the iPhone while showing a different title and artist...they didn't know about that either.
This is NOT why I went from a manual BMW with no tech to an Audi.

Voice input in my Q8 loaner is awful. Borderline useless. The massaging seats are nice, but the touchscreen nonsense is too much while driving a car.
I honesty might just go back in time to get a Manual e46 or e90...despite the age.

The A6 is great on long trips, and the auto tranny is ok, but still leaves me feeling disconnected...let's not talk about the Q8. It's a spaceship not a car though the interior is sumptuous! Haha.

I guess I'm just one of those people who can't cope with newer tech.

Hey Audisthesia - is this the most recent MMI software version available for 2017 S6? Mine is currently MHI2_US_AU57x_P3237. I'm looking to get the MMI updated to whatever the most recent is, regardless of method required to do so. I don't care so much about the maps since I exclusively use Carplay anyways, but want my MMI as up-do-date as possible. I think you mentioned later that getting a dealer to acknowledge this update via TSB is the only way?

I don't know if it is the most recent update. That was my last free update I got last November for my 2018 S6. I posted my mmi screen shot so others could compare and maybe find out if someone had something newer.

It's possible that because the green menu is dead on MIBII that map updates are strictly OTA or dealer-only for that MMI. I know 3rd party sellers who offer 3GP/MIB updates rely on green menu access to enable user-defined mode updating.

When you did the download to pc, did you keep file in storage, then transfer to sdcard? or direct to sdcard? I was wondering if I still have everything in my thumb drive, I could transfer it to my hd, then transfer to a sdcard. I remember when doing the download, there was an executable that is downloaded first and then the map file (or something like that.). I was able to download the last update just days before they removed it from myaudi.

Alright,

MIB2's need correct license,MMI 3G/3G+ need correct activator.
It will take about 5 to 6 days to have the data in my hands.

For the MIB2 owners who dont have the maps license for 2020/2021 (expired free 5 times update),I can extend the map license.
Process is the same as activating carplay or android auto.

Product description list Window Vista , XP, 7, and 8 as operating systems and people having problems finding drivers for Windows 10.

Any problems at your end or just go ahead and order it?

Any problems at your end or just go ahead and order it?You can order any adapter with the AX88772 chipset from Amazon (I did this for my CarPlay/AA activation), doesn't have to be the exact D-Link since what is required is that specific chipset and not the particular brand/model. Zero issues on Windows 10 for me.

Current Map version and firmware is 6.19.1, HN+R US AU K0942_3 for mmi 3gp+ North America, unless they updated again.

For the older S6, the new map version is 6.20.1, Audi part # 8R0051884GJ. No change to firmware, still HN+R US AU K0942_3 for mmi 3gp+ North America. I'll be curious if Sima-Koya has this map version in addition to the map for you MIB folk.

[westcoastrs7]

Thanks for the info.

Most of the D Link adapters are on back order .

Does anyone know if this pass through cable could be used to do a T.C.U. tune ?

[Sima-Koya]

Actually no.

MMI 3G newest map is 8R0 051 884 GT.

MIB2 2020 maps arrived.
Awaiting the 3G ones.

You dont need any drivers for since you will be plugging the ethernet side to your laptop :)

[Alabama]

Actually no.

MMI 3G newest map is 8R0 051 884 GT.

Audi USA Parts website does not recognize "8R0 051 884 GT" as a part number, so must be behind. My current firmware is "HN+R_US_AU_K0942_3" and nav software "8R0060884GB".

[Spitfire007]

Besides this adapter, what else is needed? I take it a PC is required? I use Mac, so am I SOL?

Sorry,no experience with MAC's.
Windows 10 or 7 works fine.
Tested many times.

8R0 051 884 GT is considered a workshop tool,so it will not be available as a part.

[Sima-Koya]

Okay,MMI 3G/3G+ map package arrived also.
It was out of stock for many days but I finally got it.
So if anybody interested,let me know.
MIB2 is already tested and working :)

I've a 2017 S7 - I guess it's MIB2.

What exactly is the process outcome and the cost? Are you reseting the map updates count, so that I'll be able to update it 5 more times?

Somewhat outside my expertise but I believe native Windows and native MacOS use different file systems so would format the SD card differently. I believe I have read that Audi only recognizes Windows format. I've run into this issue in non-Audi applications; I switch to Windows under Boot Camp when needed.

I think you might have misinterpreted his answer - I believe all he was saying was that he didn't use OSX and so wasn't familiar with anything to do with it. That doesn't mean it won't work, it just means he wasn't going to comment on how/if it works for Macs.

I believe I have read that Audi only recognizes Windows format. I've run into this issue in non-Audi applications; I switch to Windows under Boot Camp when needed.

The OS' uses different file systems, but you can format the SD cards however you want, whether it be done with OSX or Windows. Example - most items read fat32 for sd cards, and I format my sd cards to fat32 with OSX all the time. You can select what format to use for sd card reformatting in both OS'.

However - I believe his process is probably more involved than this short discussion. Based on the requirements he's listed, it's probably not as simple as downloading a map file to an SD card. The ethernet-to-usb cable implies he's going to be remotely connecting to your car (similar to what the guy who activates native CarPlay on 2016 cars does) so I'd imaging he's going to have you connect cable from your laptop to your vehicle, then request remote access on your computer, then do what he needs to do - either transfer some modified Audi system files over or just directly modify/reset things already in your files. Or he'll have you do all this and provide the instructions to do it yourself. Regardless, you wouldn't need the usb-2-ethernet cable if it was a simple map update. I don't think map updates via sd card have anything to do with the 5 update counter. I suspect he's working 2 different methods - one is to just provide map update via sd card as described, aka get map package download it to sd card and insert etc, and the other method is to remotely reset the map update counter in your vehicle so that it no longer reads 5 updates have already been performed. Where the OS does come into factor is if he does want to have your computer connect directly to the car, I believe Windows utilities/programs are used for that. I had to boot into bootcamp/Windows for the other guy to activate my CarPlay back when I had my MY16 still.

I could be 100% wrong about all of this though.

Hello guys,

Just some news.I was sick in bed for 15 days,but now everything is good.
2020/2021 maps for MIB units are available and already tested on 15+ devices.
Member Audisthesia has had some problems installing them,for unknown reasons.
My various contacts installed on various brands Porsche,Audi and VW and all is okay.

MMI 3G and 3G+ I am building an activator for those,and since I havent had time to work on it yet due to my sickness,I will report here when it is ready.

Regards,
Sima

[Sima-Koya]

Here they are running on VW unit.

[Audisthesia]

Well, I'd love to hear back from other users here with MIB2 that have had success, as thus far I have not.

[whatsamattau447]

Check out the C7.5 CarPlay activation thread..

The guy there added the Fec/Swap code so I can get updates till 2075

You need SD Card, windows based pc and D-link usb network adapter.


You also need the 2020/2021 base map but that can be found.. After all the.. “World” is full of “Audi’s “

There is a how to guide floating around as well but the CarPlay_audi guy just cost me $60

[Sima-Koya]

That is the problem.
I also extended his maps license to lifetime,but his unit wouldnt accept 2020 nor 2020/2021 maps,where both packages installed on many different units.

I installed them on Audi A6,A7,A4,A3.
Many different VW cars,Porsches also.

[bpd]

That's a bummer. I have same yr S6.

[Sima-Koya]

Well we can try with your unit.
No harm can be done.

As stated above.

Look in the CarPlay activation thread.. should be a guy named CarPlay_audi on telegram.

Sima-Koya helped me update my software! Unfortunately the two things I was hoping would be fixed -- independent subwoofer control and working CarPlay -- didn't get resolved by the update. But of course no fault of Sima-Koya's. The MMI did in fact get updated with the software he provided to the most recent version for my unit. If anyone is looking for someone to provide the software and walk you through the steps, Sima-Koya is your guy!

Also thanks to whatsamattau for his help as well.

How do you contact?

[Sima-Koya]

Anybody interested can contact me via PM or my whatsapp.

@bcam1005 Yes,well about that.
When Carplay_Audi finishes work on your unit he applies S update to your unit,so you can kiss goodbye to accessing the unit via D-Link ever again.
Fortunately there is a way to reverse this but it requires taking out the MMI and connecting some wires at the back to restore the unit.
I like to leave factory settings intact,because maybe someone will want to add something else,or perform an update if Audi releases it.
With S update applied,any future updates are also blocked.

@rscottc
1)For subwoofer controls we need to download parameters to your unit from Audi servers via SVM.
2)Since Android Auto works,but Carplay doesnt,I suspect the chip inside the USB hub is going bad.
Carplay uses Apple authenticator chip inside usb hub to talk to the phone.
That is why there are USB ports that support Carplay and some that do not.

[whatsamattau447]

@Sima-Koya

What exactly does CarPlay_Audi do to make accessing the unit via D-Link impossible? I've poked around there after he applied the CarPlay Activation to it.. in addition last week he did the lifetime map update.

Having said that.. there are some shortcoming that came with him applying a "Non official build" for my car

- Carplay can only answer with MMI knob
- Normal navigation the zoom level should be 75, but its now 85

What's the newest version of the MMI for C7.5 Cars? MHI2_US_AUG11_P0533?

CarPlay_Audi installs MHI2_US_AU57x_K0539 (I assume he went this route because it was the only version he had the Hash/PW for at the time (March 2019)


Can you apply the latest FW with Fully working CarPlay/AndroidAuto (Steering Wheel Controls, map proper zoom ect)?

MHI2_AUG11 is very old firmware,MHI2_AU57x are the most recent ones.
First firmwares were called by MMX resolutions,newer are called by Audi project names.
Latest that I know off that was available on Audi servers is MHI2_US_AU57x_K3324.

Password is not a problem for me,I extract it within two hours.
I think he started doing the closing of the units more recently.Almost every Porsche that he did is locked out.

We will see soon enough,another member popped up,he has only to find D-Link to try.Maybe even tomorrow if he finds his D-Link by then.

His version is MHI2_US_AU57x_K3324.

And just to add.The SD card was ordered by part number from Audi.
So is the package for MMI 3G that I am making the activator for at the moment.So the package is not something that I created,its a genuine Audi product.

As I said before, I'm willing to try other maps or whatever you come up with that might solve the mystery. And just so forum users here are aware, Sima-Koya did not damage anything with my mmi. It works as it always has. There is just some unknown issue stopping maps from updating. I'm sure you've updated other vehicles, but we still haven't seen a C7.5 MIB2 updated. Hopefully you'll figure out what is going on.

My unit is MHI2_US_AU57x_K3327 as you know. I don't recall if you tried to downgrade it to 3324 or not. So if all goes well with this other user on 3324, perhaps we should try downgrading mine to 3324 to see if it resolves the problem.

[Quest88]

Hi all, have a different question on this topic.

I updated the FEC with carplay_audi, and managed to install VW maps no problem. The maps themselves look updated, but my problem is that "destination input" does not seem to capture the latest buildings.

For example if I key in "ABC Mall" to destination input, it simply does not appear as an option - other places in other countries with same name start appearing if available. However if I navigate via map and select the map location itself, I can see the building outline and the description appears (e.g. ABC Mall (Parking)). Once I do it the first time, this destination input is selectable moving forward.

Any idea what is causing this, or if any fix? Basically it sounds like it is not doing a thorough search.

[Sima-Koya]

Good news to members with MIB2 units.

Audisthesia's car has been solved.
The sharing platform made it difficult by omitting the files when downloading from it.
After some head scratching I decided to change to mega.co.nz and Audisthesia downloaded from there and successfully updated his unit.

About the firmwares,the mystery has been solved also.
In USA there are 2 versions of MIB2 units for A6 and A7 cars.

Internal names CLU4 and CLU6.
CLU4 can run MHI2_US_AU57x_K0541 newest firmware.
CLU6 can run MHI2_US_AU57x_K3341 newest firmware.
Ofcourse firmwares are available from me,and map license extension also.

I hope @Audisthesia will soon chime in to say the good news himself also.

[bpd]

Great news to hear. For that DLink adapter, would any adapter work such as a 3.0usb network 10/100/1000? About how much time is involved to do the updates? Thx

[Sima-Koya]

Only D-Link DUB-E100 will talk to the MIB.
Some other copies based on it will also talk,but its a gamble.
But maybe if some members dont need it anymore can send to another member to use it?
Users on GolfMK7 forum do that.

Simple problem of the site used to host the files the first time around screwed up the ZIP files and deleted/omitted stuff causing the problems.

[Sima-Koya]

Many thanks for confirming Audisthesia.

So to interested members,tool needed for map update is D-Link DUB-E100 and empty sd card to transfer maps from PC to MIB.

Members who want the software update dont need anything if they have normal sound system.
If they have Bose or Bang&Olufsen and want to update firmware,they need another tool which is called Vas5054.
When the firmware updated,MIB and amplifier get updated in the same process.
Audi decided for some strange reason to delete the parameters in amplifiers when the software update is done.
That is manifesting itself that you dont have sound when the update is done.
After the update is finished I can then use the Vas5054 to login to the Audi server and download parameters for your amp into the car.

Also notice to members is that there are fake D-Link DUB-E100 adapters on market.
If you dont have one,I have a guy that rents both the Vas5054 and D-Link DUB-E100 that works,as I have used his tools on many cars.

Member Bendsley has the no sound problem after update to K3341 and also bought the fake interface.
Fortunately we will solve all his trouble on Tuesday when receives the interfaces.

[bpd]

Amazed there there are fake adapters. I have looked around and see 2 different looking ones. What does the real one look like and where not to buy one? Seems like another challenge.

This is a valid, tested one. It has been used with Mib2 before 212958

Recommendations where to get a genuine DLink adapter? Im amazed an entity would counterfeit an item like this. Looks like DLink has discontinued making it.

[Quest88]

I think you just need an adapter which uses AX88772 chipset.

I used a old Apple A1277 usb ethernet adapter for this.. believe the acid test is if you can install the Dlink DUB-E100 drivers for the usb adapter (rather than the default).

[bendsley]

I bought a ugreen from Amazon, but had the same chipset. It did not work with Mib2

hmm ok. were you able to install dlink e100 drivers on windows?

[westcoastrs7]

I have another brand of adapter also with the AX88772A chipset. I went to the D Link site to download drivers for the e100 you have pictured Ver.D1.
The only drivers were for Windows 7/8, XP, and Vista.

Maybe I need to drag out an old laptop for this. Were you using Windows 10 with this adapter?

VID and PID must match.
MIB only accepts two of them.

[bpd]

Here is a D link one at Amz. This a fake one, or an updated one? At least with the Ugreen, its just a different brand, not a clone. I can see that Audi is particular to the adapter as Sima Koya states. Apple is an alternative, but I don't have a Mac, so no drivers.

[Sima-Koya]

No drivers are needed since we plug in the USB side to car and ethernet side to laptop.

Amazon link works.
Ebay havent seen yet in action.

sima-koya - did ypu try this with this guy and the ugreen adaptor and it didnt work?

[bendsley]

This is correct. He and I tested it and it did not work.

[Audisthesia]

Many thanks for confirming Audisthesia.

So to interested members,tool needed for map update is D-Link DUB-E100 and empty sd card to transfer maps from PC to MIB.

Members who want the software update dont need anything if they have normal sound system.
If they have Bose or Bang&Olufsen and want to update firmware,they need another tool which is called Vas5054.
When the firmware updated,MIB and amplifier get updated in the same process.
Audi decided for some strange reason to delete the parameters in amplifiers when the software update is done.
That is manifesting itself that you dont have sound when the update is done.
After the update is finished I can then use the Vas5054 to login to the Audi server and download parameters for your amp into the car.

Also notice to members is that there are fake D-Link DUB-E100 adapters on market.
If you dont have one,I have a guy that rents both the Vas5054 and D-Link DUB-E100 that works,as I have used his tools on many cars.

Member Bendsley has the no sound problem after update to K3341 and also bought the fake interface.
Fortunately we will solve all his trouble on Tuesday when receives the interfaces.

Guess I'd better check my car now, it's bose.

Sound all good here.

[Sima-Koya]

Another note to members.

Firmware update is not needed to run the newest maps.
Its an optional step.

[westcoastrs7]

what does the firmware update get you?

I am on MHI2_US_AUG11_SO533.

Can I tell if the ethernet adapter works by plugging into my car?
What is the test to tell if it will work?

That is a very early version..

I know future firmware fix backup camera.. and the sound muting after going from reverse.. and prob some bluetooth enhancements.

[Sima-Koya]

AUG11 is early CLU4 unit.
It is recommended to make update to AU57x.
I like to flash the latest version possible because they are always the most stable versions.

Unfortunately not every member has Vas5054 so we have to skip that step if members dont have Vas5054 and they got Bose / Bang Olufsen.

Here is the latest

Map- 6.20.1 8R0051884GJ

Firmware- HN+R_US_AU_K0942_3 [8R0906961]

[digdah]

Is Firmware- HN+R_US_AU_K0942_3 the latest firmware for MIB1?
Will this offering give me subwoofer control on MIB1?
Latest maps are not really that crucial for me with RSNAV.

[Quest88]

FYI, still not sure about the map search below but just to share some new items:

1. I had a few errors reported on updating the firmware, and cleared them with OBD so no more issues. I was consulting my workshop and think it may have been due to low battery at the time of update, so it is good practice to hook up the car when doing these.

2. I bought Carlinkit 2.0 to see if I could go wireless carplay, and it worked out of the box. Came with latest firmware and was plug and play. It takes awhile to start up (maybe 30 sec) when car boots up, but is automated. Haven't had any disconnects yet.



Hi all, have a different question on this topic.

I updated the FEC with carplay_audi, and managed to install VW maps no problem. The maps themselves look updated, but my problem is that "destination input" does not seem to capture the latest buildings.

For example if I key in "ABC Mall" to destination input, it simply does not appear as an option - other places in other countries with same name start appearing if available. However if I navigate via map and select the map location itself, I can see the building outline and the description appears (e.g. ABC Mall (Parking)). Once I do it the first time, this destination input is selectable moving forward.

Any idea what is causing this, or if any fix? Basically it sounds like it is not doing a thorough search.

[Sima-Koya]

MIB1 is A3 unit.

The firmware you wrote is MMI3GP.

[E-SWIFT]

Ok, now what ?
How do I get the firmware and new maps ?

SOFTWARE VERSION

I am making an activator for new maps for MMI3GP.
It will be finished around Jan 10th because I have so much work with MIB2's that I cant get to that earlier :)

Hello,

I've read many posts, but still not able to find an easy solution to MMI Update:
Currently: MHI2_US_AUG11_P0533 --> Original (or very old) MMI 2016 A6
Wanted to update to the latest MMI or relatively newer MMI version.

Can someone please let me know what is and where to get the latest MMI? Thank you very much.

contact sima-koya he can fix you up

[Inogame]

Confirmed, I had the same software version. Sima Koya set me up with newest firmware, CarPlay, and newest maps. Just a couple months ago.

[VR2V8]

Do the map or firmware updates wipe out the previous destinations or anything I might have saved or options set anywhere in the MMI?

I updated both firmware and map database without issues. Others have reported problems but may have not been careful in following directions. For example, don't update "Bose".

For example, don't update "Bose".Thanks, I've read about various issues people have run into for various reasons. My question was more general. Will anything get wiped out during the update, even if the update is successful? Do I need to write down all previous navigation addresses that I don't want to lose, all MMI settings that might get set back to default, etc?

No stored addresses or MMI settings were "wiped out" for me. I believe those are saved in files that are different from the files that store the map database. I'm not sure what is contained in the firmware update, but no MMI settings were lost that I was aware of. Maybe others with more knowledge will chime in. If you have a 2018 S6, your update process will be different than it was for me with a 2014 S6. I don't recall Audisthesia writing that stored addresses or MMI settings were lost.

No settings were lost or altered. As mentioned above, that data is stored in a different location that is not touched
