MMI Software and Map Updates
Hi Folks,
I purchased a 2010 Q5 and quickly realized that the MMI SW and map database are now down-rev. I gleamed the following from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_Media_Interface MMI 3G+ Software versions: Software Version: Details HNav_US_K0110_1_D1: North-America HNav_US_P0110_D1: Shipped with 2010 Q5 Models for North-American market HNav_US_P0114_D1: North-America HNav_US_P0118_D1: North-America - Factory installed, fixes issue with punctuations in street names MMI 3G+ Navigation Database Versions: Nav. Database Version: Details 8R0-060-884-A NAR 5.2.3: North-America 8R0-060-884-F NAR 5.3.4: Shipped with 2010 Q5 Models for North-American market 8R0-060-884-P NAR 5.4.7: North-America 8R0-060-884-AD NAR 5.5.5: North-America - Factory installed, fixes issue with punctuations in street names 8R0-060-884-AL NAR 5.5.6: North-America 2011/2012 I have the version in bold. Is there any benefit to upgrading the software? Is it even possible? Could there by any features or improvements I may be missing out on? Same question regarding the maps... My dealer quoted me ~$200 to upgrade the map database. Yikes! Is that the only option? Can maps be hacked or downloaded from other sources? Are the newer maps noticeably better than the old ones? Any guidance or education would be appreciated. Regards, Scott |
Firmware for MMI update is free - when you buy a new map
Do not buy on the internet because it's a waste of money. You must go to the Audi dealer to activate map which is on-line I think no one has hacked the system for navigation |

Thanks again!
What about the SW version? Did you end up with HNav_US_P0118_D1? Cheers, Scott |
