Seems to be a lot of confusion over this Google Earth business and licences. My initial 3 year licence expired last March. I rang CS and they extended all, including GE, to 12.03.2022 at no cost!
Regarding GE, my local dealer (JCT600 York) is clueless. I have this week spoken with 2 reps from CS Digital, and after checking VIN, both said my MY17 A4 Avant Quattro (with MIB2 & VC) cannot be updated. It seems to be a hardware issue and the vehicle needs to be MIB2 with the later Qualcomm sat-nav variant, rather than Nvidia. This is indicated by ‘Q’ after MMX in the Media Driver version code. So perhaps upgrade to a new unit to keep GE?
Of course, I could be completely wrong & happy to be corrected.
My vehicle details are:
YY17FXR A4 Avant Quattro S-Line
VIN: WAUZZZF45HA051931
Build Date: 08/16
Nav Database version:
VO3959802DE 0175 ECE 2019
Media Driver:
CLU6_MMX2_AU_ER_G22_306PROD1
MMI: MHI2_ER_AUG22_P3241
MU Software: 0678
All licences (incl. GE) to 12.03.2022
E-SIM to 12.03.2116
Hope this helps.
