(S)Q7 MIB2 MMI Official Update - April 2017

[Sandy100]

I've just received this update to my late-2016 model Q7 (which has CarPlay) - It took me from 0442 to 0976
Update is not coming up as a "campaign" update - so upon collection and realising it hadn't been done, (as it wasn't a campaign update), they had to get an engineer out who once he understood the details from the opening thread went away and came back with the magic SD card! it was showing on his list as the latest version available for A4 and 2016 Q7 - didn't mention 2017 models.
took about 30mins to install (in workshop, needed hooking up to a battery charger), hopefully we'll see some improvements, I don't appear to have am animated destination flag.

as a note - Car was in as I got an ad blue system fault, 600 miles to drive - has just had a whole new add blue tank as the pump is integrated within it!

Thanks for sharing your info Sandy, much appreciated

Yep, it seems to only be for us Q7 2016 folk I think, and even then within certain build week dates. Glad they got it applied on your car ok.

I havent seen any new features since I did it, but certainly not had any of the old problems either

Factory is still showing 0917 as latest version from the factory on new builds.

Glad the thread helped!

Cheers

Andy

Hi Sandy,

Do you have an iphone? Can you see if you can get a warning when leaving the phone in the car - I think needs to be USB connected if not in a wireless charging case.

Cheers

I don't seem to be getting any warning.. phone was usb connected, turned off but no alert

I recently (earlier this week) had my 7/2015 build date Q7 updated from 0358 to 0976. Got it by telling the service rep that I had had random reboots (at least twice), one instance of freezing, and that my smartphone loses USB playback connection after 20 seconds (haven't tested whether this now works). They also updated my auto transmission software (don't know from what version to what version), and reset the shifting point adaptations, as I complained about transmission lag when almost coming to a standstill and then accelerating. Haven't really had time to test out if the resetting did any major changes, but so far I haven't paid attention to the transmission at all since then (which is the way it should be, so maybe it worked).

No waving checkered flag for me either, and neither can I find anything else new or improved in the new software. Seems to really be just bug fixes, as far as I can tell. Don't have an iPhone either, so can't test that.

Thanks for the info. I may use this to try and get mine done when it goes in for the Audi rings

Thanks for sharing. Great info. Your auto transmission would have gone from 1008 to 1013.

Let us know how it goes srbsq7

Well, car went in today and mixed news. Good news was they replaced all 4 puddle lights free of charge despite the fact they were purchase online from another Audi dealer over a year ago.

Bad news - they called to say they couldn’t apply the MMI software update due to where the dashcam fitter had taken the power from. Didn’t quite understand it but it sounds like they piggybacked the radio instead of dedicated fuse.

I asked how much they would charge to fix it but they came back and said all they would do is rip it out and fit an Audi dashcam for £450!

I’ve asked them to put in writing what the issue is so I can go back to RAC / Chameleon to get them to sort it out.

wow that's really not good
seems a strange one

sounds like they are just being funny as you had Rac fit it rather than the Audi dealer you went to

apart from power surly this wouldn't affect an update?
and at the worse case remove the inline fuse to the dash cam or remove the power wire update the MMI then reconnect

im guessing the dash cam isn't connected to the MMI unit or MMI screen in any way?

sounds like you need to do some digging to see if they are just saying that

hope you get it sorted mate

Did they agree to do that?
I think it's just as Max said, they are being a bit unreasonable just b'cuz it was not Audi fitted.
