new audi A6/sd card map update

**Kevmc63** · 15-10-2020,10:12 AM

so at last i have got my A6, 2015 avant 2.0 tdi ultra in misano red with black pack, was looking at the sat nav which is sd card based and audi are looking £300 to update it if its not the 2020 version,
how do i know if its the latest? and any other options (cheaper) to update it.
thanks

Or if your car can do it, have CarPlay activated, then you can use Waze and you're free from Audi's clutches! :-)

I believe you need to have MMI MIB2 hardware to start with, which I think started with the face lift model. So if that's the case, then you should be good to go. You can certainly ask if it's possible. I contacted an independent chap who did the firmware update and also enabled CarPlay for £140, job done. Curiously Audi didn't want to know and said it couldn't be done when I asked!

I used VagCarCoding, he has an instagram page and his WWW site is VAG Car Coding - Coding, Diagnostic & Retrofit Services for VAG Vehicles, he certainly knows his stuff!! :-)

You have the Tech Pack so adding CarPlay is fairly straightforward. Audi never offered Carplay with RMC equipped cars - that the OP has - so adding it is a lot more involved (think it involves hardware as well as changes to the software)

You are correct you do not have the Tech Pack, you have the RMC system. Gav28uk does have the Tech Pack and his comment regarding a softare update only applies to cars with Tech Pack
