Trying out MMI P1001 ...
I'd always presumed K942 was the last 3G+ MMI but it now appears that there is a recent P1001. I discovered an online source, downloaded it and copied to an 8GB SD card. [I also tried a USB stick via the arm rest but although the MMI seemed to process it, I got a message "The medium is currently unavailable" and I had to cancel]!
I didn't actually perform the update; I just got to the Y/S/N screen, scrolled through to see what was potentially updated and the backstepped to cancel. [I believe updating the MMI deactivates Navigation mapping, so I didn't want to do that just to check out a newer MMI level]. In case it's any use to anyone who understands these things, here is a list of the modules that will get totally [Y] or partially [S] updated going from K942 to P1001. S MU9411 : IFS-Root, efs-system Y MuTnrRef : App 529-562 Y MUConsistency : App 1035-1072 Note: Unlike the D3, I don't recognise what these units are, but no Bose Amp update, which I believe is the unit "BoseG3_C7", which had a "N" Julian BTW I thought only 'factory' levels started "P", but I checked the meta file and it clearly identifies the update as "P1001"

The MU9411 is the A8 D4 specific 'MainUnit' which is where the MMI system is run. It has Flash memory and a hard disk. Most of the MMI [which is a Unix QNX system] is installed on the Flash; the HD is used for the Nav. Maps and the Jukebox. The Flash is divided into about 6 areas which are updated by overwriting them [flashing them] with a single file. These 'files' are actually sets of Unix filesystems. So the P1001 update mainly updates two of these areas, IFS-Root & EFS-System, which form the bulk of the MMI code. In traditional Audi style, no write-up is available to say which issues are fixed and what functions are added. In my case, I was just interested in performing an MMI update. [My update to my existing K0942 was done by the dealer]. The other two files updated are minor cross-reference files, once again, the use of which is undocumented. Now I understand far more about the 3G+ MMI, I decided to update a few days ago; the update was run from SD and only took five minutes from pressing the 'Start' option in the Red Engineering Menu [REM] to the reboot with the new MMI level. As I type, I've only had it installed 48 hours; no signs of any MMI changes yet but I'll update if I notice anything. But BTW, it replaced the Navigation activation files so I had to reactivate ...... J
