How to update for free Audi MMI Maps / GPS Navigation (For almost all Audi Models) - step by stepLink for Sign In and Download: https://www.audi.de/de/brand/. Dec 30, 2019 Q7 MKII Discussion - Audi 2020 map update - Has anyone yet managed to get the recently released 2020 map update to work? I've downloaded it and copied to SD cards and USB drives and my MMI doesn't recognize the files. The 2019 update worked just fine but I can't get the 2020 to work. Any suggestions? Navigation map update. Part Number: 8R0051884AM. Supersession (s): 8R0-051-884-AM; 8R0051884AL. Help keep your navigation system current with the most up-to-date maps and Points of Interest (POI). Updating is quick and simple. Periodically, mapping updates will be available for purchase at an additional cost. Nov 04, 2019 I have used up the free 5 map updates on my 2017 A4. But, according to what you said here, I am still eligible to get free map updates as long as I keep my Audi Connect subscription current. Well, my Audi Connect subscription IS current, but when I go to the map updates on MyAudi, it will not allow me to download the 2019-2020 maps. Nov 17, 2017 Audi navigation updates. Keep up to date with the latest map data for your Audi. The following MMI navigation plus equipped Audi models are compatible with a free downloadable update via myAudi.

– Wireless provider for in-vehicle functions: Verizon
- – LTE Advanced Pro modem rated for up to 1 Gbps download speed
- – 11ac Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz bands)
– HD voice communication
– New Linux-based operating system
Those might not seem too thrilling but their are interesting, specifically the 1 Gbps download speed. In the future, most electric cars, and even many internal combustion engine cars, will feature extensive over-the-air updates. That ability to download updates at Gigabit speed will be incredibly helpful. But, really, that speed is to help your tweens watch TikTok videos in the back seat in lag-free high-definition.
There will also be some other new features, such as:
- – SiriusXM with 360L
- – Hybrid digital radio
- – New myAudi app digital storefront experience with myAudi marketplace
- – Function on Demand
- – Navigation
- – More Features to be Added
What are these new functions, exactly? Sirius XM 360L essentially better integrates Sirius with specific cars, giving customers a more comprehensive selection of channels and a better-integrated user interface.
Hybrid digital radio is interesting, as it combines both terrestrial FM radio and digital HD radio. So if you’re listening to an FM station but drive outside of its range, the car will automatically switch to the digital version of the station, using the car’s LTE connection, seamlessly. So your station never stops due to range.
Function on Demand will allow customers to actually buy certain functions for the MMI system on the fly. So if you didn’t option something when buying the car new, or if you bought the car used and it didn’t have a certain feature you wanted, you can simply purchase the feature afterward. For instance, if you bought an Audi A4 without the added navigation package but now want it, you can just buy it through the MMI system and it will unlock and download.
All new MIB 3-equipped Audis will be Amazon Alexa Auto-capable as well. With Alexa Auto, you can connect your Audi account to your Amazon Prime Alexa and use the MMI system to control Alexa’s functions. For instance, you can ask for directions, check the weather in certain areas, add items to your shopping list or whatever else you’d use it (her?) for. Essentially, it turns the car into an extension of your own Alexa.
There’s also the integrated toll module, which links your potentially various toll accounts to the car, meaning you never have to have the little toll dongle in your car. You simply connect the car to your different accounts and never worry about tolls again. Brilliant.
