Audi Connect retrofit

How do you use google maps on the screen?

Go into your navigation settings and change the map view.

I've ordered a MY17 A6 ultra 2.0 Black edition so I haven't received the car yet. So from the settings I'm able to use Google maps?

Hi,

I will picking up a 2013 A6 2.0 tdi in the next few weeks. Really nice car in Daytona Grey. The car has Tech Pack which has the touchpad, large nav screen and colour DIS but does not have the sim slot in the Dash unit.

having read this thread it seems this car was manufactured before it was standard with Tech pack unfortunately.

Question Newbie - online services question/connect. - Page 3

Questions are, is it possible to retrofit the dash unit with the sim slot to enable Audi Connect? Are there any other items required? Does anyone know the part number for this unit?


Thanks in advance

Below is probably not what you you are looking for , it won't provide Audi Connect , but will show Google maps and Online Traffic data via your phone and it's cheap way of displaying Live Traffic on google maps and WAZE if you so desire.

You will require

AUDI AMI cable with RCA connection
HDMI to RCA converter
HDMI lead for your phone eg (Apple / Samsung )

when connected select "MEDIA " on the MMI screen , choose "External ..." And your phone will be mirrored on the MMI screen .

Enable video in motion via VCDS otherwise when you start driving you will loose the mirrored phone image.

You will be able to control the phone via SIRI , - just don't push the armrest completely down , make sure there is a gap otherwise the phone won't hear you say " Hey Siri" etc.

How is the navigation compared to google maps?

I retrofitted MMI 3GP with SIM on my C6, I get google maps, google searches and some online services, like weather, parking spaces etc. What I don't get is online TMC, and send to car.

Audi don't allow/support retrofitted MMI setup's so some services will never work.

Wait... how did you retrofit the sim?

Yes, if you included the Tech Pack in your order and connect to the Internet either via using a SIM or with your phone providing it allows a data connection (excludes all iPhones and quite a large number of Android devices although for some Android phones it is possible via an app)

Fitted a 5F module with the inbuilt sim slot..

I inserted data sim and I can use Audi connect but not google earth. When I try changing map from standard but google earth is greyed out.

Am I missing something?

Just some thoughts:

There are two options exists in the MMI Telephone menu -> data connection ->
-> Enable traffic data: "select it, YES"
-> Data connection: "Without request"

Also please note, it takes time until Google Earth wakes up - maybe a MMI reset will help you.
