It doesn't appear to be affecting much other than the A8/S8 as I asked the Master Tech here at Northampton Audi this morning and only this morning he setup Google Earth display in a different model Audi.
I can't remember which model he was referring to but as I expect to see him before I leave I will ask the question.
Also as my car is in having the MMI updated then by default I will probably end up with factory settings and that in itself might be enough to prod GE back into life...we shall see.
My problem was that my MMI 3G+ was only ever displaying 2G even though I have an O2 4G capable SIM in it. I realise it will never obtain a 4G connection but before it was updated last time it did apparently display 3G although that was with a GiffGaff SIM.
The Master Tech here was going to try his GiffGaff SIM in my car as he knows it picks up 3G/4G in suitably equipped cars parked outside.
I would love to have a 4G/LTE connection and would gladly source a new 5F module but nobody can confirm that it would work in an A8.
Doesn't stop it being at the top of my retrofit list though!
