Thanks for clarifying Andy. If it's just a licensing thing I don't understand why Q7 need to be from production date week 34/2015

Agreed. I don't know either. I think if you got update to 0976 done on your mmi (are you in 0358?) then you shoukd be good. My build is close to that week but im going to try it anyway... Lol

I am on 0358, my car was registered 04/09/2015, so I am assuming build week was a fair way before week 34

Same boat as me. I was on 0358 now on 0976. Let's see how it goes

Will be interested to see how you get on. I contacted the ebay seller (Huntingdon Audi) and they have checked my VIN and confirmed not suitable as my cars build date was 27/6/15.

My concern is, even if it is possible for you Andy, that if Audi's computer says no, then for the rest of us, this still wont be an option

Correct. If computer says no then we are up the creek and back to the drawing board.

Hey Andy,

Did you get the smartphone interface installed on 0976? My build date is also pre 17.8.2015, and I'm on 0358. I've been trying to get my dealer to update me to a later version now as my warranty is running out soon (been feeding them diffuse MMI-related error reports in hope they would pick it up as a firmware error, as I know they won't update firmware just because I ask for it (tried that for my earlier car)), and as I have an appointment for a transmission adaption reset in a few weeks I could try to get them to do this too, if it's possible on a later firmware.

I suspect, though, that it's got something to do with hardware too, since otherwise the retrofit module would just have a prerequisite for a certain firmware level instead of a build date. Like the map updates on my 2012 A6, where certain map versions could only be used after upgrading firmware to a certain level. The dealer wanted to charge me for like 6 hours of work, besides the cost of the maps, because of all the firmware updating needed to be done; ended up doing it myself, and it really took a few hours (but most of that time spent waiting). Unfortunately, I can't find Q7 firmware anywhere on the web like I could with the A6, otherwise I'd do that myself too.

I am thinking about using the iPhone alert bug as an excuse for the software upgrade.

It seems you need the newer software to get the alert about leaving your iPhone in the car. Could try that line to see if they accept it!

Agreed but is it wrong I just can't be bothered to book it in? It's quite nice having the car
