MMI Update Software

All good and working
Good effort mate
.Hope you're all going to be there for me to lean on when I start mine tomorrow
Lol sure 
Main thing to remember if removing old dB and partition (if you're doing that) is that the car screen looks stuck for about 10 mins but it's doing its thing, once it finished the MMI will switch off or restart then you can carry on to the next stage. Oh and pop a car battery charger on the car before you start updating the maps, otherwise you have to leave the engine on which isn't ideal for your fuel consumption / environment

Nice early question from me that I think may be a stumbling block.........
When installing the firmware, do I need to enable "SWDL" and "User Defined Mode" in the green menu, and "User Defined" in the engineering menu ??
I don't have Bose or B/O speakers.

I didn't, I updated firmware ,(stock, I think!) Then ran script to enable green menu which I then used to delete nav DB and then partition and then into engineering menu to update the maps. I also don't have Bose or B&O hence I went for stock, no risk of bricking the sound system

thanks for that
Apparently there isn't, I did for good measure (both times). Doing well! It's the firmware I was most worried about as most likely to brick it. If the maps don't work you just end up without maps (hopefully) until sorted!
Ok, I have a question...I went the disc route, and updating went fine apart from me updating disk 1, then disc 2....when I tried disc 3 the display said no updates selected. The Bluetooth is now not available via MMI, (it looks like I should have uploaded discs 1 then 3, then 2 (twice).
Anyone any ideas how to restore the Bluetooth?
Thanks

A big thank you to everyone that helped me do my update, both on here and behind the scenes in pm's......you know who you are . There are some great "how to's" on Youtube too, they really helped.
And what might be easy for some.....is certainly more difficult for others !! (might be an age thing....52 ??)
It wasn't so much the update that was difficult for me, it was downloading all the rar files as zips, the multiple failed downloads because I wanted the latest maps, extracting them and getting your head round the whole updating process. If it's not something you're familiar with......it's hard work.
The download itself wasn't that difficult because I'd taken the time to research it, but the pdf instructions didn't match what was happening during the download on quite a few occasions, and it was a case of press what you think is right and hope for the best
Cheers everyone

You need to enable user defined and select all in the Audi 3G_ECE folder
No not select boot files
No not select boot files
Hi thanks for quick reply. Do I just need to tick all the applications in that folder? What about everything else that says NA, I thought more things would be updating? thanks again
Yeah cheers, just done it at work no errors and nav now booting up. Hopefully route guide will work on the way home in the morning. If so thanks a lot mate for the help, if you send me your PayPal I’ll buy you a pint lol
The answer is yes, you can. You can do a custom update, and see if bluetooth module needs updating.

Just updated the firmware and 2020 maps on my 2012 Allroad.
Bit of context to this. I updated my wife's i3 map via BMW connect for £49 earlier this month.Long story short, needed to format a 32GB USB to Fat32 and then download 20Gb link which also came with an authentication code. Bit of a faf, if I'm honest, but it's possible do via remote signal to the car and it updates itself, obviously more expensive.
Got me thinking about my own car. We drive through to Glasgow, well used to before this bleed' n virus to visit our daughter's at university, so half the time it doesn't recognise roads, and half the time I'm driving across farmer's fields metaphorically speaking!
Anyway looked at this whole A5OC link. Not for me. Had enough of multiple downloads and interpretating instructions, can't use my work PC as IT will be all over me like a rash if I start formatting SD cards, plus our Mac is 2011, so that in itself throws up issues.
Bought a link after communicating with a seller on EBay. Identified my MMI system after a couple of emails and paid £50. Today arrived 3 SD cards, including MMI firmware, 2020 map, and authentication card.
Took around 3 hours, so hooked a battery charger. Also included was a detailed and bound photocopied manual.
All installed, and delighted. I'm sure the freeware link works, just not for me. Happy to pay the money which is still a damn site cheaper than main dealer which I think is circa £180.
Anyone needs a link, contact me.

Hi All.
I've read through this thread, and to be honest, it may as well be in swarheli!! So I checked the last couple of posts about ebay links, yep, that's my kinda option, just pay for it!
But, looking on ebay, no one offers firmware or map upgrade for A3's.
This is what I've got, I don't believe its ever been touched since it was born in 2015.
Can anyone help me out with pre done SD cards I can simply put in machine and press 'upload'????
Obviously willing to pay for this.
Or better still, anyone around Leeds/Yorkshire thats done it and I'll come to you.
cheers
Steve
