European A4's have TMC, are they more state of the art than ours [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smashfreakB.gif[/img]

Its nothing to do with state of the art though is it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Audi UK will not/have not paid the fee's for A4 UK TMC, if you drive your audi A4 into Europe, your TMC will work fine.

They probably wont bother now with the B8 model being reasonably close to release. Maybe the new A4 will be MMi like the A6/A8, that would solve the problem for Audi i would imagine.

According to the thread on RS246 it seems like Audi have now paid the required UK TMC licence fee, so lets hope the next release of the DVD will have the required software update.

I'm still of the opinion that ashleyadam's dealer (West London Audi?) are confusing the RNS-E with the newer MMI systems in A6 and A8.

I'd be very happy to be proven wrong!

just received this from tom peterkin

Hi Tim,

We are currently investigating a retro fit TMC option and I will add your details to a spreadsheet of interested Audi RS4, S4 &amp; A4 owners.

I honestly think that Audi UK thought. 'Well if we keep telling the Customers that its "on its way" then they'll eventually get bored and go away!!'

So they've finally paid the Licence; the next bit is getting a new DVD Rom sorted so I'd guess Mid-07 at the earliest!

It's just such a shame that Audi UK have let the brand down like this! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I can't understand why he keeps referring to this as a "retrofit." There is no fecking retrofit! The equipment is already capable!

It worries me that as enthusiasts we know more about their cars than they do [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smashfreakB.gif[/img]
