I have an update...
I received 3x SD cards (System / Maps / Activation).
The Engineering menu was activated by pressing CAR first, and then BACK, and held for a few seconds.
The System update took about 30 minutes, then I did the same with the Maps update which took about an hour. I don't believe I needed the Activation SD card, it made no difference to the message "A valid license is required to receive online traffic data", so I asked the NavMan support about this and the reply was as follows;
"TMC functionality has stopped working on all Audi vehicles with these systems as of a couple of months. Trafficmaster who provide the service discontinued without warning and Audi are aware and there is no fix for the issue at present. The only way this can be fixed would be with a modified maps release in future to change the provider to an alternative. There is lots of talk on the Audi forums regarding it. From latest news these units have also been discontinued by Audi meaning no further updates are being released".
So I'm going to cancel the SIM which I bought for the car as it's pretty useless, especially as 3G has been turned off and 2G will not support Google Earth anyway. My best option now is to get one of the CarPlay / Android Auto replacement units and do a retrofit.
Anyway. Hope this helps someone.
