2012 Audi Q5 MMI Upgrade?

[mooq5]

You can upgrade to 3G+ by yourself. it will take 11000RMB Yuan, about 2000 bucks if u already have MMI 3G. I live in Beijing. http://www.xcar.com.cn/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=17927769

Wonder if there are places in the US to get it upgraded... The ability to look places up by name via Google is awesome to have. I'd certainly pay for that upgrade to be done.

Because it's not a show stopper for me, I'm simply stating I'm surprised at the lack of functionality given that QNX developed the MMI system.

I'm very happy with the rest of the car, but I'm looking for a discussion to solve my media problems.

I've got an additional problem with online streaming services like Rdio and Grooveshark on my iPhone. They work great until the next song plays. Then the MMI switches over to the iPod and starts a song from there. For example, I start up Rdio on my iPhone and I play a song, the MMI starts playing it, If I skip a track or let the song play out, MMI switches the audio back to the iPod loaded songs. Anyone else have this issue?

djkast,
I know it's frustrating, paying $$$$ for a car and then small thing like this get annoyed. But if I was you - I will take my car to the near dealer and ask them to fixed or replaced MMI unit.

what parts & coding do I need to upgrade mmi 3g to mmi 3g+?

I'm also interested, but I'm a little scared to do it my self with no directions, list of necessary parts...
It seems that the map of the country I'm in (Tunisia) is not available for the MMI 3G (US or EU), and since the 3G is abandonned by Audi, I doubt they will add new locations to it.
If the 3G+ uses Google Earth, does it mean you can load any location in the world?
