My 2013 A7 (Aug build I think) has P0566 and 5.6.5

I took mine in yesterday and there wasn't a MMI update for my 2012. I asked to see if there was an update for the 2013 and they said that they would have to run a VIN to see.

I'd love to add the Google Street View if it's available for the 12's. I passed on a 13 to buy a 12 at a good deal. I really wish I would have bought a 13 now.

BasicSlvr thanks for the screen shot - it was helpful. To confirm do you have a 2012 A7 Prestige (or a model with Bose)? And what does your iPhone cable look like? Here's the latest when I pressed the issue with Audi Dallas.

"The update you referenced was originally written for the European market, I’m told. It allows for more features with an iPod/phone, including some additional level of graphics I believe. The software is available here, and it might work on your car. I am told the primary application is for the B&O system, but I am frankly not positive. The other catch is that the cable from car-to-phone must be updated as well. That cable is about $75. That is the most current information I have right now. I can schedule this for you. I believe it will take about an hour."

Yes, my car is a 2012 A7 prestige with Bose. Build date 11/11. I dont understand the reference to the MMI cable. I currently have the blue Apple cable. I have not upgraded to the red one. I only use it with my iPod, not my phone. No reason since I rely on the BT function. I recommend contacting another dealer to get thier opinion on the matter. I was provided with this update when raising the issue of mmi freezing. The update did improve the quality of the Bose sound to some extent. (per my OP) I also noticed for the first time in Nav, 3D buildings appeared when driving in Boston on the Std map setting.(non Google)

Default TSB for Speakers

I have been looking on line and can not find them.

Does anyone have the TSB for the center console and door speaker rattle they can pass along?

Thanks,

Sully

All -

Got my 2012 A7 Prestige w/ Bose into Audi of Dallas last week and received the MMI update. There is actually a newer version (K0566) which can be applied. It was apparently released on 10/25/2012 to the dealers.

Attaching the highlights of what it covers.

While a later MMI software might be necessary, it's possible that Google Street View is available automatically from Google through AudiConnect. (I have PO566 in my 2013 A6)

To use Street View:

Press MMI **** to enter map scroll mode
Using the keypad, scroll the map and center the crosshairs on a road that you know has Street View as in Google Maps available on your laptop or home computer
If you see a yellow icon of a person in the map scale section on the MMI screen, zoom in using the MMI **** closer than 30M. (There are at least two levels of zoom in Street View)
You will then see the street view; scroll the camera around and move it along the street by tapping the on screen arrows using the keypad

Notes:
When you press the MMI ****, it doesn't position the crosshairs on your current position but on the center of the map.
I believe you must have VIM enabled to activate Street View if the car is moving; Street View will not follow the car as it moves.
