Data SIM & Bluetooth issue

[damtom85]

To be honest, before you bought your car, you could research for faults or issues on forum like this. Then ask dealer who was selling to you to do update of software and map in price of car otherwise you will not buy. Small blackmail but it works all the time. If you buy AUDI you have to be prepared for cost of servicing and diagnostics.

£60 is normal working hour at AUDI dealer so not bad.

It's a fair point and something I'll bear in mind in future. It's just that it's such a basic thing I guess I'd be expecting it to work. I'm all for paying for things, I just want a straight answer that they don't seem to be able to give me. Is it going to cost me £60 or £200? I've told them the issue and how to fix it, they just need to do it. I've done half the job for them

in my case i only learnt of this issue in here after i bought the car, but logically speaking it is indeed a defect, reasoning as in my original post.

car went back to the dealer for some bits already on plans, i added this to the list, i believe the dealer is upgrading the MMI for me, will know for sure and whether it fixed the issue when i get the car back and will report back.

so far my experience is - the car's had it's teething issues but their service has been great, including what they've given me to run around in - a brand new Q5

Did this update solve your issue?
I just got a 2012 last friday and got a sim today to find out I have
this issue too and also found I have an old map with no new part of M74.
Details of MMI.....
Media Version:
HN+R_EU_AU_P0518
Nav. database version:
8R0060884AH ECE 5.13.8

Not sure how old this is but guessing 2012.

So doing my firmware update as we speak.
33mins so far i'm going from 518 to 770.
It's saying 12 updates for me.
Pretty simple so far.
Either start car or put it on a charger.
Press Car the Back just after it for a few secs takes you into engineering mode.
Pop the SD CARD into slot 1.
Press updateon bottom right soft key.
Scroll down to SD card slot 1 and press big button.
Select Standard.
Scroll to bottom and click Start Update.
It took just about an hour to do from 518 to 770.
Mmi reset a good few times during the process.
When finished it shows all the updates then just scroll to bottom
Then click cancel and it does a final reset.
Didn't fix my issue with the sim and phone until I just found this.

Anyboy would like to buy it.?
