Would you mind posting some more information on this as it would be a great upgrade, 4G is so much faster than 3G. Some Part No.'s and a brief guide on how to swap out the unit would be great. I presume component protection would be an issue on used parts.
Thanks |

This will be a replacement component within the 5f unit, so unlikely to be a component protection issue as you will be using your original 5f. However when I looked previously i couldn't find a LTE module with the correct interface in the aftermarket/ The original batch or cars came with a Telit UC864-E-AUTO, see http://www.lte.com.tr/uploads/pdf/190.pdf I haven't checked but I suspect later cars came with a wide band version of that. What you need is a 4G/LTE replacement, but when I was looking a year or so ago they were all packaged with different interfaces - so not plug and play? |

Yes, my intention would be to improve the wi-fi hotspot as 3g is perfectly fine for google maps etc. Seems crazy that a current A6/A7 has a more advanced mmi setup than an A8. They obviously couldn't be bothered upgrading the D4 because of the imminent arrival of the D5.

Agreed, the latest A6/A7 also has different maps, which are downloaded over the mobile network rather than updated via SD cards - I guess you have to buy a subscription!?
