Now I have to stump up 140/year but its nice to have it back.

    I'm a June delivered 2017, judging by the software version qualcomm hardware. So their is hope for pre 2018 owners
    Hi muumipeikko,

    I have this week purchased a 67 plate Q7. I mentioned the satellite/google earth feature not working and the Audi garage haven’t been able to resolve. I do have Audi connect services so if I ask the garage to simply just update the mmi I should in theory have satellite lay over for the sat nav?

    Yes thats what I did. I also had these guys in the back pocket if Audi tried to charge or it didn't work

    Audi Google Earth Fix Update - MIB2 Satellite View - MAK Coding

    I didnt use them as Audi fixed it for free but I talked to them prior and they said their patch would work for my car. I'm no expert here but my guess I they are only applying the patch audi did.

    One issue is you need to go to an audi garage who really know what they are doing as aparently the official advice is Google/sat maps are 2018 onwards but that's nonsence!

    Just be careful with third parties applying patch etc - make sure they are VAG Approved/Authorised.

    So I am booked In for the MMI upgrade to allow satellite overlay on Thursday. I will also have my “map key” upgraded to accept the latest 2021/2022 European update.

    I paid to renew the connect licence and then found that Google Earth would not work - I called Audi Digital Services who confirmed my car had the hardware to support Audi Satellite Maps - had it booked in and updated for free.

    Hmm - also be careful of the main dealer doing an ECU update on your car without your permission and then trying to get them to revert it when the car does not drive the same

    I have not posted here for a long time but thought I would update if anyone finds this information useful.

    My satellite overlay is running fine and i am just about to embark on a trip to France and wanted to update to the latest 2023 edition maps.

    Audi wanted an extortionate sum of money to upgrade my maps this time which involves the purchase of licence/activation key, the new maps and around £175.

    There was absolutely no way I was paying that and I have another free solution which means I now have updated 2023 maps running perfectly in the vehicle with traffic and satellite overlay.

    If anyone is interested they can drop me a message.
