I had P0097 originally and everything was fine sound wise ... it's looking more and more live a trip to Audi is on the cards.
Last attempt will commence shortly for P0066 .. wish me luck.

Worth a post to ask for help on this thread on A5OC?

Well that did not go so well... followed the guide on emergency update and now my MMI is bricked completely. .. won't boot up at all.. no communication with vcds .. and when I do the 3 button restart I can hear it boot up but nothing on the screen at all it just stays in the dashboard.

Looks like I will have to remove the MMI and try to push out a new OS manually on the bench .. better get the kit out and hope for the best... other wise it's an expensive mistake

From bad to worse, hope it goes well for you soon.

I had a new MMI 5f fitted under warranty, very expensive part from the dealer - but on the upside there don't tend to go wrong in normal use and so there are a lot in breakers who's pricing strategy seems to be quite variable. Component protection would need removing and some coding, not sure if this would still leave you with a Bose issue?

Sorry to hear of your problems Ian, fingers crossed its not as bad as it sounds.
I reconsidered updating my maps today in light of your problems, but in the end curiosity got the better of me. Seems to have worked, 2017 maps activated and working. Hopefully I'll get my data sim delivered tomorrow and can sample Audi Connect and Google Maps.
