That’s a real shame.
May I ask if you had this done with [mention]DJAlix [/mention]?

When did we do this?I have just tried the update on my 2017 Audi Q5 (build date 18/11/2016) kindly supplied by VAG Car Coding and it definitely does NOT work on the older Nvidia units. I am just left with the really awful standard maps. This was my first Audi and it will be my last Audi. Audi don't even support apple CarPlay on more than one screen like say BMW now does so no way round this problem or so it seems!
Apologies I put the wrong Car Coding business down in my post and I have edited it to the correct one.When did we do this?

Ahh - so there may still be a glimmer of hope that [mention]DJAlix [/mention]and his team can potentially get some of our cars updated!

Did you send MAK a picture of your MMI firmware version?I have just tried an update on my 2017 Audi Q5 supplied by MAK Car coding and it has not worked on my Audi Q5.
I have edited my post as I have realised I put the wrong Car Coder down my apologises to DJAlix and his Car Coding Business
Did you send MAK a picture of your MMI firmware version?
So they stated it'll work but it doesn't? Have you been in contact with them about this to establish what went wrong?Yes I did. The build date for my car is 18/11/2016.
What is the firmware version now?

I literally have the same unit and firmware here at the moment. Unfortunately it does not support the new satellite viewThis is the version now. Is this still the wrong version for it to work?
That is not good, they advertise something that will do this, you sent them the correct information and they still claimed it would, yet it hasn't. You have tried to resolve it yet they've not replied. Unfortunately they are at risk as being labelled scammers.I have tried to speak to someone at the dealership but trying to get an answer out of them regarding this now seems to be impossible!

the firmware you have had installed in the most up to date for your unit.

Could not have put it better myself. It is really disappointing that what was a great addition to the car is now useless, Audi should be ashamed that they are letting a lot of customers down. Lets see if they eventually come up with an answer or @DJAlix !!!!As I am identical as well, I guess that means my trip to your guys in Leicester is off :-(
I must say I'm disappointed in Audi as a brand also, I get it may have been Googles fault initially. but it's not like our hardware isn't up to the job here is it? You could buy a £50 (or less) smartphone that could run Google maps. What it comes down to is Audi simply can't be bothered to do the programming for it, so have just stuck to the most recent revision where cars are probably still in warranty so people would complain more.
Just strikes of we have your money now so jog on.

There is another forum called 'A5OC' and there seems to be someone on there that reckons older cars can be updated to to be honest it's over my understanding by someway. They are called 'congo' not sure if you want to contact them about this? (I do understand that this is for A5's not Q5's)
https://www.a5oc.com/threads/gogole-earth-saga-and-vw-group.176098/#post-1617078 is the link to the first page of discussion
I hate to say it but I think you have hit the nail on the head with that one.I don't think there is any hope...let's be realistic. They have only fixed the later revision as some cars are still in warranty.
They really don't care about us, so if they haven't fixed it immediately why would they in the future?
For them to even suggest our units aren't compatible is insulting as well, they are barely a few years old and worth thousands of pounds (I saw the warranty receipt for my replacement) like I say a 50quid smartphone, or even a basic smartphone from 10years ago would do the job. They just don't think we are worth the effort to do the programming
It comes down to the fact they've done the minimum they can get away with for the cars still in warranty, likely still with their first owner who would kick up a fuss losing a feature when their car is barely 3 years old. Our cars aren't worth the effort for them, more likely to have people accepting it when the cars older, or sold to someone who didn't even know the feature ever existed.
If it didn't come immediately....it's never coming

I have a 2017 SQ7. I reported the loss of Google Maps/Earth overlay before my March 2021 MOT and Service. There is a free software upgrade they will do if you ask. Once done in the map display option where you previously had the choice of GOOGLE MAPS you now get the choice SATELLITE MAPS. It looks almost exactly the same as Google Maps/Earth overlay and shows the houses, fields etc. so the 'feel' is pretty much the same. I havent checked whether this actually does a google maps style search for a destination not saved in the navigation which used to happen but you can also use the Carplay function if you can be bothered for difficult addresses, although if using an iphone this tends to default to Apple Maps not Google Maps.
...but it seems that NVIDIA solution also emerged:

Looks like I've been the guinea pig for thisHere is 'Congo" from https://www.a5oc.com/threads/google-earth-for-mmi-3g.176093/#post-1617047
If you scroll down to almost the end I think they almost have a solution as well?
Looks like I was posting as you postedThinks are looking positive.. Did you just have to load an SD into the system from downloaded files? Also cost for the service?
Sounds like we finally have an answer then. I will see how it pans out in the next few weeks. Keep us posted.Looks like I was posting as you posted
He sent me some files to put on an sd card, along with a step by step pdf. Followed the instructions and the car generated some extra files onto the card unique to the car. I sent these files back to him, he replied with the final update files and then everything worked.
30mins start to finish, and that's including the time waiting for emails back and forth, so not long at all really
