Sat-nav question ??

[Jcbmally]

The wife has a new A1 Black Edition arriving at the end of the month. It states in the spec that it has preparation for SD Sat-Nav. Can it be activated by a friend with a freakishly level of programmable wizardry or is further hardware needed ?
If it's the latter, its a bit of a pointless "standard" spec on the car me thinks, especially when a tom-tom is cheap.

It can only be activated by audi its about £500 for the SD maps activation code & activation

***, a lot of money just for someone to plug a computer in, I have a genuine Audi SD card so I'll get my mate to have a look, you never know he might be successful.
Like I said he's a wizard !

It is but theirs no loophole it needs to be connected to audi servers with the activation code & licence code a SD card on its own doesn't work

Many have tried, all have failed - it has to go to a dealers for activation, no way around it unfortunately

VAG-Tecnick on eBay does these at a fraction of the cost with the licenses.

But it still needs a dealer to activate

The update or the NAV?

The updates come with a license and they work because I have done it.

The NAV may need activating but that can be done in VCDS so just need to find someone willing to activate that for you which will be at a fraction of the cost of the dealer.

The car has the nav pre-installed, so you say if I get the disc/card and my mate can get it working. Do you have a link mate ?
