BRO FINALLY! I just updated my C7.5 by following your video.. thank you for providing it for FREE BRO Deserved my sub

[@rupeshutekar5991]

Thank you so much for making it so simple. I was about to order a different screen for alsmot $600. This worked perfectly fine for me and upgraded my car MMI. Thanks once again.

[@shooterps2434]

installed it today. Works perfectly so far. Thanks a lot!!

[@mbasiony12000]

well done ......I follow your steps and worked with my A6 2017 Thanks 😊

[@AdamTelly]

Thank you so much for making this video - I’ve just added CarPlay to my 2016 A6 AllRoad! My SW version was the same as yours in the video, followed every step and everything now works as it should, not just the nee CarPlay but also everything else. Funnily enough I found this video after seeing eBay offers to sell the same software, this is awesome! I just need a road trip now.

[@slapa101]

Just did this on my A6 C7.5 from 2016, works like a charm so far!

[@2buynshop154]

This is awesome. Thank you so much. Usable in Australia as well.

[@v6tex]

Is the USB port supposed to have a specific marking on it that indicates compatibility? I saw a clip of an installation on an RS 6 which had a phone symbol next to the port, and my C7.5 A6 says USB 2 but no phone icon. Would this also be specific to cars with the technology package? Mine was specced with tech package but would be good to know if so.

[@ellenressel]

Worked for me today. Tried with usb at first didn't seem to see it. So found an old phone sd card and an adapter and that worked! Had to bring the sub folders to the front also I think as it worked with everything out of the initial folder. Otherwise went exactly as described and my software was a slightly different version to begin with. If your able to follow instructions and have a small amount of pc knowledge deffinately give it a go. 100% worth it.

[@dareckrusso2159]

When I go to the Instagram link it says its not available

[@kainowuh]

Hey after unzipping the file i noticed that there still a zipped file inside the folder do i have to unzip that too oe just leave it?

[@user-mo6gx4dd2y]

Works a treat! Use a high speed card to update in 15mins.

[@martinsabacky4386]

Awesome hint, all worked as it was described. Many thanks!

Thank you so much. I unlocked the Carplay on my Audi A7 2017 and all works perfectly 👍 Just check the sw version correctly and you can do it. Iam happy now🇨🇿

[@lukaszjakubek4653]

Hi mate, when you start your car does MMI show a6 car it a7 car on screen? I mean is this update specifically for A6 with option to also use on A7?

[@latifalwehaibi5314]

What region are you in for this to work?

[@8till23]

@@antoine2091 I’m from UK, but I think what matters more is the version of the MMI. As long as it is exactly as advised in the video then should work just fine

[@calvingte]

Thanks for the great video, downloaded files onto sd card ready for updating system, only problem is my current version is Rmc_eu_p1432b, does that mean it wont work on mine?

[@sliverslayer]

hi thanks for making the tutorial very helpful, is this just car play or is it android auto too?

[@AnkhiJatt-rr2dn]

hey nice videos im about to attempt this on my a6. just quick one question. my mmi screen motor is messed up something wrong with it iguess its broken screen turns off and on but it doesn't go back inside. would that be a problem while updating?

[@Pauliuspak]

Works perfectly. This is not a scam. Just installed on my 2017 A6. Just one tip - after unzip, copy all (5+) files in root folder of SD card.

[@Kalsongjanne]

Do you do it in the car or how?

[@markmontgomery2472]

Hi there i a m having real trouble getting the file onto an SD card, despite having ample space. How or what do i use to unzip the file onto the SD card please??

[@RudiLunghinilive]

I installed it on my 2016 Audi A6 Avant, everything ok. I remind you that once you have downloaded the indicated file, you must extract all the files in the root directory of the SD card, otherwise it won't run the update because the SD card is not recognized. Thanks so much for the great guide!

[@gregorytyszko8819]

Hi, what do you mean ? To extract all files without folders at all ?

[@RudiLunghinilive]

@@gregorytyszko8819 What I already said, extract the zip file and open the extracted folder and copy all the files in the root directory of the sd card.

Hi. Thx for this vidéo. I have tried to reproduce your explanations but I had a problem. I have a Audi A7 Sportback. When I put the SD Card in thé véhicule, as you did in your video at 2'45, thé SD letters (to choose the origin of the information) are not highlighted. So I can't access to the SD Card. It is like there's no Card. Can you help me please ? Thx.

Does this update cause any issues with the Bose system? I read a technical guide which suggested that a check had to be done to make sure that the Bose system wasn't affected.

[@todorvachev891]

A7 2016 facelift - worked for me, took about 40 minutes for the update to complete. I had the same version as in the video

[@liang-kaiwang1752]

after installing this, does it affect any of the control on the steering wheel? Also, when I pressed on "P" to enable the parking sensor (or if I put the car in reverse gear), is the backup camera and also the parking sensors still taking over the monitor?

[@ellenressel]

Only thing it changes is of you hold the speech button with android auto turned on it uses google instead of the car

[@wojtech9064]

Thanks, i updated A6 2017, new icon appeared but with Samsung android phone it is not connecting. No one around Has an iPhone to test if carplay works. Anything else from android is needed to make it work?

[@jayshah8455]

Amazing, works seamlessly! The guy saying it's a scam is clearly one of the same people trying to charge me £60 for this exact update, the irony!! Had a small problem getting the files on the SD card. You need to put the root files only on the SD card not all the other empty folders as it won't recognise the SD card, the update itself is a doddle!

Hi. Thanks for the informative tutorial. I tried all the steps and for some reason all the files updated except the speech system and RCC. After the update the version has changed, but I still don’t have AirPlay in fact my older speech system is now disabled. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

[@Destinator]

you may need to look online for an older version of the MMI software, otherwise, worst case scenario, it would have to be a main dealer fix

[@ionutvrabie5730]

I have had this retrofitted in my Audi A7 2017. A few months later, the system completely stopped working. I am not sure if it is related to this or not. However, Audi said the MMI unit needs to be replaced. The cost for the new unit is an eye-watering £4850. Luckily, it is still under warranty. I will have it done at the dealer next time. No more messing about. I know the central USB port needs replacing before you do the upgrade. So, I will not advise it if it is not done properly.

[@Allan003]

TheNavManDOTcom Ben Weaving is a UK based guy with a proven track record of MMI updates and more. Look him up, its not too expensive (£150 ish depending on what you want) and he's a real nice chap as well.

[@keiohbunch5983]

Did it fix?

[@ionutvrabie5730]

@Keioh Bunch Yes, it has been fixed, but I am not convinced they replaced the whole unit or just the bluetooth. Ever so often now, the music stops playing when it is played via Bluetooth.

Hi! Thanks for your tutorial. However, although I did what you told/wrote "UNZIP THE FILES TO AN SD CARD, THEN PLACE SD CARD INTO THE CARD SLOT IN YOUR VEHCLE." the MMI doesn't see the update on the SD card. There is just one folder on the SD card, no files on top. In that folder there are 2 folders and some files. What folders/files should be on the SD card to let it work? Could you post a screen shot or a list? THX EDIT: it's visible for a short time in the clip... Anyway, will it work with my MHI2_ER_AUG11_S0040?
