The Audi Multimedia Interface, or MMI, is the interactive system that drivers can use to interact with the car's interior settings including climate control, stereo settings, and GPS navigation. Audi MMI is not available on every model, but is an option on many newer Audi models. Since its introduction, the MMI system has received iterative software upgrades to improve its performance and resolve bugs in the software. Updating the MMI system is an easy procedure that takes just a few minutes of your time.
Step 1
Turn your Audi on so that the MMI interface is automatically activated.
Dec 07, 2017 But please be careful, because different MMI systems has a different map update. If you have MMI 3G PLUS you have to looking for MMI 3G Plus maps, same for MMI 3G High and Basic. All maps are selling separately on our website. PLEASE BE AWARE! DOWNLOADED FIRMWARE / MAPS FROM TORRENTS OR OTHER UNKNOWN SOURCE MIGHT BRICK YOUR MMI. The MMI will reboot and the update process will start. After several minutes/hours(it depends that what it has to update and the speed of your SD) the firmware update will be done. Aresume with all updated modules will appear.Scroll down and press “Continue” Select “Cancel documentation“ and the MMI will reboot.
- Did my mums car over the weekend. Updated her 3G Plus MMI system to FW version K942 & the latest 2017 maps version 6.24.2 You will need VCDS to clear the errors and code the adaptation for the errors which show up due to the system not being able to verify with the Audi servers. Took about 1 hour for the FW update and 1.5 hours for the maps.
- This procedure only allows you to update the maps for Navigation, not the actual version of the MMI software. To my knowledge only a dealer can update that. I just updated my navigation maps over the weekend (A3 2015 Premium Plus with Nav) with the new 2017 maps that were released recently.
Step 2
