MY 2014 Navigation Maps version?

My '13 has 5.7.3, which I find to be pretty up to date. Good to see they're updating them more regularly. Seems like 5.5.5 was used for a couple years and is terribly out of date.

My 2013 Q5 purchased 5/30 (built in April) has 5.7.3 and has bad data. It shows my house as being almost 1/2 mile away from it's correct location as they are using old zoning maps. This is the same error that Google Maps had a couple years ago and have since fixed.

On my list, I ignored the basics (scratches, dents, rips, etc) and made myself reminders to check for the little things that could easily get overlooked or forgotten. (AMI Cable, MMI version, # of keys, etc)

1. Inspect the car carefully inside and out for any damage or obvious cosmetic issues and have the dealer note them on the invoice.
2. Allow the dealer to walk you through the various features (this gives you a jump start on understanding all the systems).
3. Ensure the dealer activates Sirius radio, Sirius Traffic and Audi Connect/T-Mobile free trials.
4. Ensure the AMI cable is present and if you have an iPhone or 3rd generation iTouch, see if they will swap out the blue grommet AMI cable for the red one for video and album art display; (note that iPhone 5 will not pass video with AMI cable and Apple adapter).
5. Resist all offers to purchase add-ons (usually from the finance mgr.) i.e. extended warranties, Audi Care, paint treatments, etc. Despite what he may say otherwise, you can purchase these later if you are so inclined. (Audi Care is the only one I'll buy at 15K service and bras and films will be usually less expensive from third parties on your own).
6. Ensure you get a full tank of gas.
7. If required, make sure they provide the info to your insurance company and the car has its inspection sticker.
8. Ensure the shipping blocks have been removed.
9. Ensure all keys (incl emergency key), spare, jack, tools, all operating manuals and all paperwork incl registration are present.
10. Check tire pressures are not set to the max settings on the door label but are set to the manual's recommendation.
11. Ask if any and all applicable TSBs have been checked for and applied
12. Bring a camera and take some photos before you drive it off the lot. The car will never look better and you'll have a nice record of the experience for later.
13. Try not to be too excited before running down the list above.

This is the most important rule for any inspection list.
You really have to make sure you leave your heart at the door when entering the dealership on delivery day.... You'll be SO excited about getting the new car that there may be things that you'll forget to check, or simply overlook to start enjoying your new ride ASAP.
Take all the time in the world to do a proper inspection BEFORE you sign on the dotted lines.

So, great checklists, but say you find an issue? Then what? Don't buy the car? Negotiate a discount?
