I've been trying to update my car's map software for years and I’d really like to get it sorted, particularly as the traffic info doesn’t work properly due to the outdated mapping software (I think).
The process I've tried several times is to download the latest maps from the MyAudi website, put the files on an SD card (in the correct format/order etc) and then install in the vehicle but it's never worked for me. It recognises there's an update present but then an error message appears saying: "Error: The update data are not compatible."
There's conflicting information out there as to what is causing the issue.
Some say there are a set amount of updates available (5 from new) and the car won't accept any more after that.
Mine didn't even receive these updates so it still has the original maps (apart from Scotland/Northern England which is 2021.3_PO480 (the only area where the traffic updates work). All other areas are 2018.3_P0240 and the traffic updates don’t work at all.
Others say the MH2P (MIB2 Premium) MMI system has the F0 FEC code (mine is 026000F0) which should mean it gets free lifetime updates.
I've read that you can also patch the system with MIB and then install a lifetime FEC code (023100ee) but I'm not sure if this is correct and there are no tutorials for how to do it on an A6 C8 (or even a car with MIB2 Premium) that I can find.
Any advice would be very helpful as I’d really like to get this sorted but can’t find a way.
I’ve tried asking Audi several times and they are completely useless and have no idea what the problem is or how the system is supposed to work.
