Default MMI update best place to go it get it done

Hi All

I'm in Leicester and need to get my MMI updated , I would like to know if anyone around the midlands would know of somewhere to go for this , Have called Audi in Leicester but they are so bad...they told me that they did not know about the updates and could not did it.

Looking for somewhere that knows what they are doing and have done it before mine is on very one SW.

Thanks very much all.
I can get the disk from TSP but don't what to do it myself just in case it goes wrong.

I can understand your reservations about doing it yourself as I thought the same.

But I just threw caution to the wind and did it anyway lol,

Read as many threads as i could about doing it and was prepared for the loss of battery meter. What I was not expecting was the loss of the speech system but it was a good exercise to play with vcds and I soon had it all working again.

I did put a battery charger on while updating and it was a good job as it took about 2 hours in total.

It was worth it for the 3d maps update.

Matt

👍😊👍 Hi Neil that could be a plan. A nice little drive out and I would get to have a look at Guy's projects and the w12. Yes please if you could pass the number on that would be great. Thank you for that👍
