Data SIM & Bluetooth issue

[JayNana]

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.

It is 2012, update of firmware will help u with issue

[shamus_mcd]

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.

I will try this tomorrow and see what happens.
As i've done the update i will be putting the SD card on ebay unless
Anyboy would like to buy it.?

[shamus_mcd]

Not sure why but it won't let me update a picture to this as comes back with an error?

Anyway all is working as it should be

I've got the car back with the MMI upgraded, finally had a chance to check this issue.

Happy to say, it's working perfectly

Now the car can have a data sim inserted for data services while it connects to a phone via BT for voice.

I probably wouldn't use google maps all the time, but..



Now.. Only if Vodafone did secondary sims on the same connection

Shamus, I'm interested in your SD card, if it updates the way you access Audi connect? currently the only way is through the Nav screen, press the top right soft key (info), then it gives the audi connect option so press it again and you're in.

A way I've seen on cars older and newer than mine is press menu then in the ring of other options like media etc etc its a new option in there where i currently have a gap.

If yours is now showing the new way ill take it off your hands, how much are you after?

[damtom85]

Mitchy, what's got that update to do with AUDI connect, I don't understand your question? Shamus only wrote procedure to update software

[M1tchy]

Sorry, probably wasn't clear. Basically my car screen look like this...



I am thinking and hoping a software update may make it look like this....
