My MMI is currently running version 2750. I went to the dealer and they refused to sell me the CD's and quoted me 2-3 hours of labor to get the MMI updated to the latest US version.

I'm pretty confident I can do it myself. I must admit I have not done an MMI update to date but I have done all sorts of tweaks to my last 3 Audi's with my VAG-COM. I do know that I need to keep the car connected to a trickle charger during the update. I will definitely hit you up if I have any questions. What sort of issues did you run into with yours?

I didn't have any problems but I did hours of research and typed out notes/tips for myself to follow in addition to the printed instructions. I did not use a batt maintainer for a few reasons. 1 I didn't own one and didn't want anything new to learn on the process. It was a warm night and wanted to be able to have AC if i was going to spend some time in the car. If u r going to use maintainer ***U have to keep in mind that the car normally shuts down MMI after a few minutes to conserve batt ***if this happens during install u will most likely risk damaging unit. There is a proper place to connect maintainer to provide steady power but I forget where that is so please do a search.

Another bit of advice I can give is that be aware of what the installation communicates to u (at the end.the results) look out for NOK (not OKs) and it may be normal to reinsert and install the same disk 2 or 3 times in a row. * certain installs are divided into modules or something meaning certain Disks have multiple modules on them. I hope I'm making sense. And install in slot 1 in glovebox not trunk and use one disk at a time (not disk1 in slot1 disk2 in slot2 just keep empty other slots) I think that's all I remember. The update went fine and as halo guy said I didn't even need the 3360 CD. The 4610 2 CD set had everything on it I needed to do the update.

I was going to write up a how-to but you literally just keep running the CD until it tells you there are no more updates. I should note, however, that I only used slot 1 in the 6 disc changer as recommended by MainlandMig. So to clarify; steps to update: If your phone is connected, disconnect it. Insert one of the 2 4610 update CDs into slot 1 in the CD changer Hold 'setup' and 'return' buttons - this brings you to a 'Current config' menu showing your current versions Press the lower right button around the MMI control knob to select 'SWUpdate' Select 'CDROM' as the 'Download server' You are now presented with a menu showing you a listing of each control module and whether or not an update is available for it with either a 'Y' (Yes), 'N' (No), or 'S' (Some?), I saw the 'S' next to a module that had several subcomponents that needed updating. In any case, you simple scroll to the bottom and select 'Run Update' I noticed that when an updated completed, 1 or more other updates became available to run.

I know you can get the CDs from the dealer (part 4L0 998 961) for the latest version (5570). I understand it's basically a case of doing each CD in turn to apply the updates to all the components. Mine has MMI High with parking sensors, heated seats, dual climate, air suspension, DAB radio, AMi, 6 disk changer, Bluetooth. Part Number: 4L0-998-961. Pack contains 3 ISO CD image files the full software/firmware update. This is untouched and full firmware update to version 5570. AUDI MMI HIGH 2G A6(4F), S6(4F), RS6(4F), A8(4E), Q7(4L) – European. This does NOT work on MMI 3G.

You repeat this process, occasionally swapping between CDs, until it tells you 'No modules selected for update' for both CDs. As for having the car on a battery charger, I didn't bother. I did the first few updates with key in the 'on' position, but the car not running, and all lights and electronics off. I did the next few updates with the car running. Then the last few I got reckless. I had the car in the 'on' position again, but not running.

Except this time I was opening the windows, adjusting the seat, opening and closing doors. All updates still completed without a single issue. The only thing I did not do was start the car while the update was running as this would undoubtedly drop the voltage too low.

The entire process took about 90 minutes with the 2 updates for the bluetooth module ('Handyvorb2') taking the longest at almost 45 minutes for the first and 15 minutes for the second. The main difference I've noticed after the update is that I can now enable stereo-in in the hidden MMI menu. This allows me to wire a set of RCA cables up to the amp in the trunk. I'll be doing another post on this when I have completed it. There are also a few new options here and there, nothing noteworthy. The main issue I was having with my MMI that prompted me to update was that I couldn't change any of the coding with the VAG-COM, but after updating I can. I've attached a couple pics I took along the way to give you some sort of idea what to expect.
