Sat nav doesnt run from SD card so I dont think it would work

How can he update his satnav licence then? Would that be a job for Audi?

£100 for SD from Audi

Not sure if you need the tech pack, but he should be able to either download in the car within the sat nav options, or he can do what I did (as it is more stable) and log into MyAudi, downlaod the update files (You get 5 free updates) then plug the usb into the car and extract it on the MMI to update.

I don't think these cars have removable SD cards with sat navs anymore, but I may be wrong, however logically they would only work with the SD card present in the car as it is stored and runs from the card (apart from some local cache) so as soon as you removed the SD card from his car it would stop working.

My 63 plate A4 Black edition was in for a pre-heater recall replacement today so while I was there I asked about updating my satnav and the quote i got was £299 for the licence ( no actual files supplied as Audi hold them ) plus one hours labour charge to update it ......

Wait for it ....... £365 just for a map update.
