I had Google maps working fine on my original MMI unit, which had a maps and firmware update from the dealer when I bought the car. It had a built in SIM slot, but I used RSAP to connect via the SIM in my phone.

It only connected as 2G (GPRS) speeds, but for maps it worked just fine.

VCDS Scan of that unit is here:

Audi changed the 5F unit to a newer one (at great expense it seems), which now connects a 3G speeds, maps works just the same (maybe loads faster, not really so as you would notice) but they forgot to do a maps update - which they will do when they next see the car

Scan of the "new" 5F module here:

No fault code found.
If you don't have a SIM slot, I believe that you can re-code and use WiFi to connect via your mobile or alternatively you can plug a USB dongle in via the AMI. Have a read on the A5OC, lot's of detail on there

If you do have a SIM slot, it is as simple as firmware update and a bit of coding

Thanks Paul that's great advice

I do have the sim slot so looks like I need the firmware update.

Good to know. I have it booked in to be done in a couple of weeks

No problem at all, the 2G vs 3G speed thing was more of a niggle than anything, but they agreed to fix it as part of a number of things they had to sort out, it was an approved used car but it wasn't warranty work - they did it as good will.

If it was my own money I'd already spoken with Hazzydayz, they would have replaced the components within my original 5F unit for a few hundred quid which would have been much more palatable, but as a main dealer they didn't have that option so had to swap the full unit - the rough cost of the new 5F unit was over £3k

Forgot to mention, the only thing I don't have working is Google Traffic, I coded it in but because my car VIN wasn't on the Audi servers it wouldn't sync. You can change the VIN in software in the 5F to get around this (clone a car that is eligible) but as I still get traffic info via TMC and as they still need to do a software update for me, I haven't bothered.

thats great info

Will try the firmware update and see how it goes, if Google earth works as well on 2G its good enough for me. if not will visit Hazzydays, they seem to know their stuff there, and can unbrick mmi's too

What do you mean 2G ? No D4 has 2G they have 3G+ high and low... you will have a 3G+ low prep. In that case you will need the same as me K900 software

If you need help let me know. I have all the maps and new software and can update it for you if you wish

The early D4's have 2G Mobile service, not 2G MMI.....

This thread is about upgrading the radio gear to 3G mobile service which is needed for the google maps 3G+ MMI update to be truly useful...
