Thanks!

They couldn't do the map update until after the MMI update.I figured I'd have to reenter my bluetooth pairing number and wifi password, but phone bluetooth and wifi worked fine. It did take awhile for the bluetooth, 3G and bars to show up. Also notice the word "Google" is smaller and in a different font.

My sense is there isn't much difference to 0715 from 0609. Since there's few observations from those who had 0715 updated from 0609 and a lack of public documentation from Audi, it's difficult to ascertain what, if anything significant, was changed from the previous version.

As to earlier versions, my understanding is 0566, introduced with the first 2013 models, added Street View and resolved several bug issues with the MMI. Even earlier C7 MMI versions like 0467 and 0487, as found in later year 2012 models, added functionality to play compatible iDevice videos via the AMI (when used with the optional red grommet AMI cable) and some bug fixes.

Versions are: K0715_2, map db is NAR 5.5.6 (don't know what it was previously)

There is a Technical Service Bulletin 2030465/6 that addresses the need to upgrade from older MMI versions to the latest 0715. It was released September 12, 2013. The criteria for folks on the 0566 version to qualify is very specific.

1. My 2013 S6 with MMI version HN+R_US_AU_P0566 was giving me problems with Google Earth not loading properly in 2G roaming areas. This applies to people with the T-Mobile subscription driving in rural areas. If you don't have the T-Mobile subscription, then you probably would NOT qualify under the criteria.

2. A second criteria for warranty upgrade to cars with 0566 (OR earlier versions) is "Sound system pops and loses audio for a few seconds" (both the base or the B & O sound system).


If you have a version PRIOR to 0566, there are 8 other criteria under which you can get upgraded.

1. MMI system randomly freezes and/or resets
2. DVD Changer playback inoperative after vehicle sleep (A8 only)
3. HD Radio does not playback in stereo
4. HD Radio experiences poor blending between digital and analog signals
5. Google earth does not properly update the maps after leaving an area of 2G or poor cellular reception
6. The lower MMI display flickers when an iPod is connected and the Function or Settings menu is selected and the vehicle is stationary
7. Surround settings are lost after ignition cycle (vehicles equipped with Bose sound system only)
8. Bluetooth will not automatically reconnect to certain iPhone models after vehicle sleep.


Estimated time for the update: 2 hours and is performed off of DVDs.

The wireless and paired devices will be deleted. All devices will need to be re-paired after the update and all wireless settings restored.

The updated version will show as: HN+R_US_AU_K0715_x where x may be one of several different numbers.

Some early 2012 models are known to be more stubborn accepting the updates, which can take more time.

This is a C7 only update for models with the MMI 3G+

Note that my understanding is that the MMI does NOT change the performance, handling, shifting and other parameters that the car responds to when driving.

There is a Quality Package update that was done to my car that addressed this. TSB 19J1 - 4.0 I Quality Package (NVLW) which updates the Software Version Management (SVM) for the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Transmission Control Module (TCM).

Mine is going in next week for the MMI update.

I am hoping a few "enhancements" made it into this update.

If anyone finds enhanced capabilities like HUD display of speed limits under the latest versions, please share!
