S300 GBS on retention for sale. Best offer over £500

But, like others are reporting, even using the Mcaddy route, the MMI states 'the data is outdated or not compatible' when trying the USB (SD cards greyed out). Can push a single POI using phone app but am talking about the POI camera database with a few thousand entries.

Yeah used to do that with the S3. I did try that once but came to the conclusion that the S5 can't import from SD card as the options were greyed out on the menu. After all you can push the POIs to the car can't you ,not? Anyone with an S5 tell me I'm wrong please do. Thanks for taking the...

From April 2017 up until Aug/Sept this year I was able to do useful functions on my PC/laptop such as send destinations to the S5 from Google Maps, Download PocketGPSWorld speed camera databases and send them to the car from My Audi. Suddenly this stopped and My Audi (on PC) tells me all my data...

I got exactly the same reply weeks ago from Audi UK after I raised the issue that all functionality for sending POI, send from phone, etc had been lost. Particularly annoying and badly timed as I'd just deleted my speed camera data from the car because it didn't seem to be replacing old with new...

Working on it slowly, if at all. In what other industry would you get away with putting a deeply flawed piece of software out in the market. Imagine if Apple/Google updated their operating system and omitted to include provision for your favourite social media app. Good connectivity is about...

Been annoyed by the laggy gearbox since day 1 It took me 2 months to get local dealership to collect my S5 to update the gearbox software. I wrote to the service manager ahead of time and explained the problem and my wish for them to investigate and know about the software upgrade before the car...

Thanks for setting that out. I may have to fall back on it, but its long-winded compared to' copying a few files to MyAudi on the PC and having them upload to the car automatically. TBH I don't think there's an MMI option on the S5 to manually import, but will check. My original Q's about...

No, I just downloaded files to PC and used the tool on My Audi to update and download to the car. I'll try making the icon files smaller. Also have deleted all special destinations, using the option on the MMI, and checked all speed cameras have indeed been deleted. Now I've come to...

Before setting off to France this week I downloaded the up-to-date PocketGPSWorld POI databases for speed cameras UK & Europe and was told my MyAudi/Your Audi/Whatever they had downloaded OK to the car. I was careful to check every step of the process as I had the problems I am about to...

Its such a ba**sache getting anything done by the dealer - long wait for a slot and then they undoubtedly will not do the update while I wait. I've enquired whether the mobile tech can do the gearbox software upgrade, and the door glass upgrade at the same time. He was 1st class when a coil pack...

Hopefully you're just panicing about nothing, Joe. Horror stories about write-offs from engine damage in floods relate more to diesels, because of the high compression ratio. Given the details you've supplied I would suspect there's a soaked sensor below the engine - on the S3 when I fitted...

I've had my S5 for nearly a year and was thinking I will struggle to know what to change it for when the lease is up in a year's time. However, I've just come back to it having been out of the country for 3 weeks driving another car. The laggy gearbox is now irritating the hell out of me - half...

+1 for the creaky wheel. Brought on, I think by the cold weather. Sounds like a tea clipper under full sail. I know if I take the car in to Audi the creak will be silent, and the door glass will drop perfectly, so I'll put up.
