Because of this I think Audi will not sell hardly any, and I would rather and probably will buy a garmin with free lifetime updates and use this on the very limited amount of times I need bang up to date maps.
Also trying to enter destination by voice is cumbersome I find with many confirmations required which need you to look at screen - which defeats the purpose of voice.

On my 2011 - I did the MMI updates and updated the maps myself - the MMI updates were simple (for me anyway - as long as you know you have the correct ones) - but the map updates were tricky.
If only Audi offered a map update service at a reasonable price - for me it should really be included in the price of the car (most good sat nav suppliers now give free lifetime map updates) and I don't understand why major manufacturers don't tie in with Garmin/Tom Tom/Google to provide the navigation with free map updates.

I have looked around - and for SD card models - there is no other way but going through Audi - or getting a stand alone unit.

I agree with the above poster - I also love the car.
I moved to my house in 2014 and my address appear on google maps after TWO years! If Royal Mail has to update system other vice you have to put manually your address even when you buy something online.
