I've hesitated on the firmware updates as I've been in dialog with Hazy Days over upgrading the radio gear in the MMI, and been incredibly indecisive about whether the A8 is really for me (crappy weather forecast so I drove it this week to Birmingham, it was bloody epic, but really, I still long over something more sporty. I know it makes no sense, so I wont attempt to justify)

When I start any update beyond 0095 I get some scary message (which I have, but not to hand right now) implying really quite specifically there's a good chance its going to corrupt something, in a helpful, if slightly scary way.

Id reached the conclusion that if I did somehow brick it completely, it'd be a reasonably good excuse to simply buy a newer replacement MMI unit, which would already have a later firmware, googlemaps, and 3G radio gear with wireless, and get CP removed and we're away. The cost difference between that and getting Hazy Days to do it is negligible once I factor in taking a day out to travel down south for the work.

But I guess the hassle/risk/cost over very short term gain if I do sell it shortly, has put me off fiddling really, and that old favourite, a lack of time.

Maybe I'll take a look this weekend time/weather dependent.....

Thats quite worring specially as i am on 0065, Audi have offered to do it for me when i get back from holiday, im thinking this is the safest bet

hazzydays will do it for £170
