New MMI Software Update

[G_S_4]

So went to the dealer because I was having GPS location issues and they said I was a few versions behind which is what may have been causing the issues. I was previously on K0814 which I thought was the latest but they upgraded me to K0942. Anyone else have this update and notice a difference?

Here is what they updated me to:

Software version:
HN+_US_AU3G_K0942_3

Navigation database version:
8R0060884AM NAR 5.6.5

Does anyone know what the latest maps version is as well?

[14S4GWM]

You were only one revision behind using 814, 942 came out about 6 months ago. Can't remember what the latest maps are.

[JustPlaneChris]

Wow, I'm on P0715. Wonder what goodies I'm missing out on?

[MrFunk]

Did they charge you?

Did they charge you?

No charge since it's still under warranty and I had a legitimate reason for having GPS issues. So far GPS is working but they said if I'm still having issues, it may be a bad antenna.

philip, a member on here, is doing the update for a much cheaper price than what the dealer charges. for anyone wondering how to updates theirs. mine was 4 yr old, so i thought the map could use a little update ;)

I believe he only has 3Ghi not 3G+ For the maps

Waxxon did you get the new maps for your 3G+?

Heres an older thread explaining some of the differences with the maps and mmi update

He has updated 3G+ maps now - he and I have gone back and forth to make sure his update will work.

PM philip0001 or go to the dealer. You will need to update the mmi before the maps

[tfng]

Thanks. Shot him a PM.

Do these MMi updates offer anything new? Mine works fine, don't care unless there are new features really. I never use Nav.

No new features, just some bug fixes. If yours works fine then don't worry about it.

Philip does a great job. Just updated mine a few months ago and I'm in an 2012. He did have to do my firmware too in order to get the nav updated.

Here's my updated pic...

^^^^^^
I second this. Didn't update my nav since the S4 is a weekend fun car and not used for long trips or the DD. But philip did help update my firmware, was very quick with replies and VERY helpful. My car is still under warranty but I didn't want to mess going into the dealership for something as easy as updating the firmware.

[ChrisR14]

Latest maps for NAR are: 8R0 060 884 DQ which are 2016/2017 edition.
K0942_3 was also released for Europe/RoW. There are some minor improvements in security and on C7 plattform the issue that the display does not come out sometimes is fixed.
It will definitely not fix any GPS location problems.

You are both correct BUT:
Just to clarify: the NAR 2016/2017 map is seen in ETKA catalog but actually its not available to dealers yet. I assume it will be available in couple of months.
On another note, new deliveries as of today come with DG map 6.13.2 also referred as "2016" map - but its factory map. Dealers can't upgrade you to this map as no activation document avail for purchase for that map in the catalog...

Clarification: those map databases are exactly the same both for MMI 3G HIGH (2010-2012) and MMI 3G+ (2013-2016) HW...

Summary:
As of today North America cars can get updated by dealers maximum to "2015/2016" map - version 6.12.1
Dealers should get access and be able to update to "2016/2017" DQ 6.14.X??? map version in few months.

Hope it clears it out a bit

Any reason to update my 2012? Are the maps that much different, presuming it hasn't been updated since purchased?

IMHO, the maps and the Google images are ok. Nothing spectacular. This is coming from a MMI 3G+ '16 owner. I'm more of a magnetic vent iPhone 6 mount + Waze kind of guy.

Well its standard question and difficult to answer. Its really individual.
The whole point of updating map is to have new roads, neighborhoods, intersections, POIs - up-to-date. (especially if you live/work/drive in new developments and do not want to drive in the fields)
Graphics stay the same.. Certain amount of 3D buildings content in major city centers though...

its easy:
If you use the in car navigation a lot - it definteily makes sense.
If you use a "magnetic vent iPhone 6 mount + Waze /GOOGLE" - I assume you do not really care what kind of maps you have! :)

"vwblackb5": Keep in mind that"nekky" does NOT have GOOGLE map - because he is 2012 year. This means he is MMI 3G HIGH HW, meaning he can rely only on map database - no external source of information (no SD card slot either).

Another point to consider:
What is the point to have GOOGLE MAPS overlay if you can't NAVIGATE using the GOOGLE maps? (THe navigation planning is purely based on actual map database)
THis means that even if you see the street on google map but not on the MMI map - MMI will never plan a route via that new road - as it simple is not aware of it...
Just my 2 cents

[nekky]

Thank you for the reply!!

Yes, if updating your MMI is not a hassle i.e dealer appointment, not free, potential TD1 (if tuned) then by all means get the latest and greatest

IIRC, MMI app allows you to push destinations from google account to your MMI if connected 3G, which is a nice feature. But yea, Waze is pretty awesome

I just called my dealer in California and they said the latest version (8r0-060-884-dq) has reported problems with the maps, so they aren't currently selling it. Just an FYI for everyone.

There's a fix script for the google earth issue via TSB 2044940/2. Dealer can update and then run script.

Can this service by Philip be done remotely?

No, he provides instructions, its easy

I'm going through the process now with Phil on a B8 A4 and he has been absolutely awesome. Highly recommended!

Hey all I'm new to the forum. Been trying to pm phill and for some reason my messages never go thru. Gonna try to do it now from a mac. Been using an iPhone.

Lance, you are mixing map database and software: part number you've mentioned is map database itself (which is not released yet).
You talk about latest software (K0942) where there is an issue/bug with "Google Earth overlay not loading" after update to this soft. (no connection to map database itself - which loads fine)

Pierre accurately commented there is a TSB to fix the issue. Dealer should be aware of the TSB and apply it after soft update...
Just my 2 cents.

I just updated my firmware and maps through Phil. Please give him a few days to answer as he doesn't go on the forums everyday anymore. Ultimately, you can PM me and I can give you his email as he responded much quicker that way.

I can tell you the process was nothing short of excellent as he made everything as easy as possible.

Ditto to the above. Philip gave excellent service. Answered all my questions and had easy to read pamphlets made up (with pictures) for the whole process.

Just purchased a 2011 S4 with HNav_US_P0114_D1. Can it be upgraded to the new UI? Is that hardware? Or can I do this through Phillip? If I can do this through Phillip, how do I contact him?

Let me know if you update your software..

[ChrisR14]

You can update it to K0133 or so but the UI will stay the same. Anyway you can swap your mainunit agaist a MMI 3G Plus from a facelift model and get the new UI.
