AS PER MY POST - You do not get "function unavailable in this country" without the correct dataset loaded. I coded TSR without the dataset and all I got was "no traffic sign recognised". Re that other Aussie car, different vehicle, different camera, different firmware. I know with older cameras changing the adaption mode for TSR to "fusion" made the camera work. This doesn't work with the the Q7 as it implemented the second generation of TSR. From SSP635:
"The second generation of the camera based traffic sign recognition system is available for the Audi Q7.
The camera based traffic sign recognition system uses both traffic signs detected by the front camera for driver assistance systems R242 and information on traffic signs detected by MMI Navigation Plus. The navigation data is transmitted as so-called predictive route data and provides information on the route segments ahead.
The traffic signs detected by the camera have a higher priority. If the detection of traffic signs by the front camera is not possible, the system self-deactivates. This can occur for example due to a dirty or frozen windscreen or due to leaves on the windscreen impairing the visibility of the camera.
The markets in which traffic sign recognition is available were extended to include the following markets:
European markets
• Albania
• Bosnia-Herzegovina
• Estonia
• Latvia
• Lithuania
• Macedonia
• Moldavia
• Montenegro
• Serbia
• Cyprus
Markets in North America
• USA
• Canada
So to get this working "partially", ie only show traffic signs spotted by the camera, you need to stop the predictive route data from getting to A5. Then the camera should work and hopefully not throw an error.
These Russians reckon they have got it working (need to register an account to view) and charge about 30quid to activate (so to me means its long coding or an adaption setting somewhere). There is a setting in 5F (MIB2) to disable predictive route data but then you lose the other functionality that requires it:

RADIO TEXT is another pet hate of mine. We should get Radio Text under the station title not with having to go to the "radio text" menu option!
See in this retrofit of a VC in Russia the radio is showing artist and song in the VC!

Happy for someone to reach out to them (I've tried) to find out whether they will activate TSR and radio text remotely. I thought radio text might have been a VIM thing but it isn't ;-(
