After over 2 years of A7 ownership, I have been given a price of £270 to update the maps on my satnav. The dealer can't tell me when this current version has been updated or when the next update is due out. Does anyone know and is there a cheaper way of purchasing a map update.Thanks

Thanks Chris, but it appears that this one is not for my car but for the older versions. I am still stuck with paying £260 which is very expensive.

So I am in the process of getting my maps updated. For the A7 this is the information you are looking for




8R0-060-884-R ECE 5.11.7
Europe
2010 Edition


8R0-060-884-N ECE 5.12.5
Europe
2011 Edition


8R0-060-884-AH ECE 5.13.8
Europe
2012 Edition


8R0-060-884-AR ECE 6.15.5
Europe
2013 Edition




My car has the 2011 version on it (hence it was in red on the table I just pasted above) and went in yesterday to be updated to the 2013 set of maps. Cost £249

The info you need is the 5.12.5 bit. The rest refers to the base software itself and is car specific

But the dealer was unable to install them!!!!

They spent all day trying to do the upgrade and whilst they could go from 2011 to 2012, they could not get the 2013 map to install which is a bit worrying.

So I will get them to get another go when I have more time after I get back off holiday in a few weeks but I am rather annoyed that something as simple as a map update is having problems.
