    Looking to get a family car as my L200 just doesn't cut it as the sole vehicle in the household, we tried for 3 months but it's a nightmare as if one person is out, the other is housebound.

    So, been looking at Touareg, Range Rover Sport, Merc ML and Q7.

    We've had a 2005 Touareg, and loved it, but wanted something a bit newer, and the mk2 Touareg just doesn't cut it for us. We discounted the others due to reliability, and really we have always loved the Q7.

    Got 1 toddler and another baby due in May, and always loved big cars, as we like to head to Europe, and also spend weekends away in the UK, so love the comfort and ease of a big bus.

    Got a mate looking at a 2006 3.0tdi S Line for me tomorrow, and if he gives it the thumbs up, we will probably go for it.

    Got loads of questions regarding firmware and map upgrades, ipod comparability, engine and gearbox remaps, and probably more.

    See you on the rest of the forum.

    Get one with MMI 3G (HDDversion) then you won't have any problems.

    Not got a huge budget, so probably won't be able to get he newer version.

    Mate looked at one for me today, saved me a 6 hour round trip, 1 owner, etc etc, and the guy pretended he knew nothing of both sides of the car being painted. Mad.

    was due to look at another, and apparently the emissions light "just came on" and it needs a blast down the motorway to put it out...so, mate, you want me to give you £16000, and you can't run it for an hour to clear the DPF?? See ya!

    Sure we will find something.

    Depending on the year it may not have a DPF fitted and may have an actual engine fault

    Welcome to VWAF, I've moved this thread to the Q7 section.

    You can always get a 3G upgrade, not that expensive to do either.

    On the borderline, check for the option code 7GN on the data sticker in the spare wheel well and if you see 7GN then no DPF is fitted.

    If the light looked like below then there is an engine fault.

    To be honest, not many. It's just replacing the whole MMI with the new system plus alot of ballache with component protection and gathering all the bits together.

    Plus you can't update the maps easy like you could with 2G.

    Id have to disagree. The overall update does include the complete removal of the 2G system, but you will get a JokeBox, 2 x SD slots, Ipod Connectivity. High res screen and the maps show 3D topographics and landmarks in cities.

    You will however need to part with a few grand, but if you travel overseas quite a bit then its a well worth while upgrade. have a chat with Gareth at hazzy Dayz (say you spoke to Richard with the Q7) as gareth has full VAS he can remove all componet protection within seconds.

    MMi 3G High HD Navigation with Bluetooth SDS High DVD Player

    MMi 3G High Full Postcode and 2013 Maps with latest firmware update

    And there is a map update that now supports full post code. and yes future map updates wont be done via an Audi dealer as Chris mentioned.
