Hi,
I've just upgraded from a C6 to a C7 BE Avant (2013) with MMI 3G Plus (separate sim in dash) and Bose.
I have read a lot of information on this forum and others and am still confused regarding mmi and map updates....:confused:
I currently have;
HN+R_EU_AU_P0614_2
8R0060884AR ECE 6.15.5
MMI:
I understand that I need at least 0707 to enable the use of the in dash sim for data and Bluetooth to mobile for calls.
As expected, my local dealer is clueless on this and as there is no necessary update for my car on their system, 'computer says no' - even though I was willing to pay for it. After providing them with the part number for the SD card with K0900 (that they confessed to not knowing even existed!), they are willing to sell me this. I have also seen it for sale from another vendor on the internet slightly cheaper (professes and looks like the genuine article).
So, can I carry out this update myself (how?), can I go straight from P0614 to K0900? What is the process, and is there anything watch out for? I also have the Bose system, and I've read some bits that indicate that this may be a concern.
Maps:
Local dealer has said that they can update the maps for me to the 2016 version at a cost of approx. £250. They reckon it takes about 45mins, which doesn't seem to match what I've read so makes me wonder about their knowledge/ability....
Vendor mentioned above is also selling the 2016 maps (good deal combined with MMI sw), but again is this something that I can install myself?
All help and advice greatly received.
many thanks
