Hi there, I’m interested in getting a map update for my 2008 Audi A8 3.0 TDI. It would be for your euro edition Europe DVD 2015: 4E0 060 884 DT.
How much do you charge, including postage & packaging (Northern Ireland BT address),
Thanks, Conor
We do not sell any parts or services. Please check with your local Audi dealer.
I would like to ask as i do have 2 discs one is west europe other is east. And i can install them only one at time. Then i put west it updates then only west europe is on screen i tryed to insert east after it wants again update map and it does with no problems and then it only shows east europe. I dont understand how i do install both discs to have full europe.
You can’t.
When you insert navigation disc it does not copy the map to your system. Navigation is reading the map from the disc in real time. DVD discs capacity is limited and Audi was forced to release 2-CD set and since navigation is reading maps in real time from the DVD you need to swap discs when traveling, for example from Poland to Holland.
is it possible to create one dvd with selection of countries form two discs? if yes, it would be very useful.
Hi,
Do you have navigation map update for middle east countries?
My audi q7 – 2009
Regards
We do not provide software. Sorry.
Hi can we use other third party maps such as here maps etc for Audi 2009 download it and
Burn it on DVDs
Sorry, but no. Maps for MMI 2G yes Navteq database.
Hi there
Great tutorial video. One question on the maps installation. I’ve got an Audi A5 2008. I’ve read online that when installing the new maps eg 2015 or the newly released 2016 maps, these need to be activated by Audi before they will work.
From your video this doesn’t look to be the case but I was wondering if you could provide any further info on this?
Many thanks,
If you have MMI 2G system, then you don’t need any kind of activation. Just change the DVD disk.
cars with MMI 3G system require activation.
I have an issue with my 2006 Q7, using the VCD the Sat Nav will not unlock, is there another way to get the disc out?
Take the drive from your car and disassemble it.
Where is the Navigation DVD drive located in a 2010 A4 Avant wagon?
I cannot located it in the wagon “trunk” area behind either left or right side pop out panels and it doesn’t appear that there would be room for it on either side below in the spare wheel well. I have not been able to find any references on the internet to the Nav DVD location in an Avant wagon. Thank you for your help!
If you have 2010 A4 you might have MMI 3G system with hard disk instead of the DVD drive in the trunk that was installed in MMI 2G systems.
I have a 2008 A6 Avant Allroad. My satnav is behind the left side panel in the rear. I can’t seem to get a response when I press the eject button to get the old disc out. I have an updated disc I want to load. Any suggestions please?
There’s something like eject button lock. You need diagnostic interface to disable this locking feature.
Can i update navigation on old software maybe from 2006/07?
You don’t need software update to run new maps. Everything that is needed to run new maps is already on the maps DVD and will be installed if needed when you insert disc.
Hi,
My MMI 2G navigation SW version is 4.2.20. Do I need to perform the update to the latest version 5.5.70 before running new maps?
Regards
No. Everything you need is on the DVD with maps and will be installed automatically if needed.
Hi i have a S-Line 4.2L fsi Q7. How can i get a nav dvd that covers east africa?
Great video! I also have a question for you. We just brought our Q5 2014 model from the US to Korea.
Will the installed gps drive accept a DVD with the Korean road maps? And where could we buy such a DVD.
Most likely region coding will be needed first. But I’m not 100% sure.
Hello, Can you tell me what navigation DVD is needed to update a 2005 Audi A8L? Also where I could purchase it online?
Hi I have tried updating from a 2005 map to a 2014, I am still running the original MMI version that came with the car. when i first put the new DVD in the reader it only partially installed it. So I replaced it with the original 2005 DVD which reinstalled correctly. I then tried to install the 2014 DVD but this time the drive would not read the disk at all. please note that this is an official Audi disk. Do you have any suggestions as to how i can get over this problem
I would start with replacing the disk at Audi dealers.
Also you can try upgrading MMI firmware to make sure that this is not caused by old program.
I am running 5570, and I launched the update of the maps to the 2017 version on the MMI 2G. However, the map DVD update got stuck at 89%, the system rebooted and the whole navi is gone… I cannot access the navigation control module through VCDS and MMI says “Navigation is not installed”. Did I just brick my DVD drive? The DVD is stuck in the drive.
Is there any way to reload the maps? Any help is appreciated :)
I need a update navigation for my audi q7 2011, please help
Does this mean that mmi 2G doesn`t work or show the map without a dvd inside?
Yes. MMI 2G is using maps for the DVD in real time.
