A8 MMI Update - A Walkthrough

[Glync]

Afternoon Folks
As you may recall from previous posts I have updated the MMI and managed to successfully retro fit the AMI despite Audi's flat refusal to help.
One thing that I hadn't managed to resolve was the fact that whilst the BT system links with my phone and works reasonably well, it never re synch's when getting back in the car after switching off, and the phone book and contacts etc doesn't download.

Following some suggestions from forum members I thought I would give this another go, but as you know you need to set aside some time. So today was the day. For eas I took a few pictures. After running through the update as norm discu one now does nothing so on to disc two this starts the update and shows this screen after saying yes to the update etc.



Followd by this alternating for what was nearly 2 hours!


Just the number 1 changing
Eventually I cancelled it and restarted the MMI
BT was same as before no change.
I tried the update again and again and during one attempt got a note saying the update could comtinue as the device was on?
No pictures of that but I took a snap of this screen which shows the details of the BT system I think


Any one have any ideas what I should try next, I am at a loss. BTW this was the same with both my Nokia E71 and now the Iphone4. Just makes it a pain to keep having to link the phone everytime I start the car and have to input the code, also dialing out is difficult as no memories show on the screen! You can see by the time display how long I have been at it! need a lie down now

Cheers
